When I read the AXNY Guest changes article this afternoon, I couldn't help but notice that the word "memories" in the series title Gundam 0083: Stardust Memories actually links to the description page for Katsuhiro Otomo's Memories.

The link seems totally out of place, and potentially confusing to people who have limited knowledge of anime titles. I have noticed this a couple of times in past articles also.

Should we report these errors when we notice them?

Hmm.. yes...

The whole "greenlinking" process is automated, so if a keyword matches something in the database, it's automatically linked. Usually, it would be the job of the staff member to make sure the green links make sense before posting the article... (ahem)

This kind of problem shouldn't happen in recent news posts or articles, but I'm sure they flourish in older stuff that hasn't been checked. So if you want to warn us, feel free.
