Esports World Championships relevance on this page

(Source:https://tl.net/forum/starcraft-2/620552-sc2-confirmed-for-esports-world-cup-will-be-ept-world-championship) As ESL has announced the EWC(formerly Gamers8) will be the new world championship for the 23/24 EPT season how should this page be edited? Will 2024 have 2 world championship series or is IEM Katowice 2024 getting scrubbed from the page? Gröngroda (talk) 19:12, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The subject of this article is the WCS, which ended in 2020. – Pbrks ^(t·c) 02:48, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Until just yesterday the tournaments up until the most recent iem were features on the page Gröngroda (talk) 11:31, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They were added within the past week by a single editor, even though these results are unrelated to the tournament series this article is about. I've removed them, as this is not their place. But to answer your question, IEM Katowice 2024 is not the final stop of the EPT StarCraft II circuit this time around, and is instead effectively a big tournament (similar to what it was during WCS, I guess), so the de facto world championship of StarCraft II will be taking place as part of the EWC. This should not affect this page in the slightest, as the page already links to the circuit that came after it (the ESL Pro Tour, which the finals at the EWC this year remain a part of).

Relevance of the "Results" racial redirect

Interacting with the races under results (eg. Won PartinG Lee-sak (P) South Korea) it redirects to assumed sections of the StarCraft franchise page that arent there. While redirecting to a dedicated page for the race and it's units works great on Liquipedia is there really a need for a redirect? There is no competetive relevance as it is not specifically StarCraft 2 related and it does not redirect to relevant information about the race in general. Would the page not be easier to understand without redirects or more suitably redirects to pages such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zerg? Gröngroda (talk) 19:19, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is the result of the same single editor's work mentioned in the other section of this talk page. Thank you for bringing this up, I've corrected it as well. SharkyIzrod (talk) 15:19, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
