::Well, not to put words in (or to be more precise, pull words out of) [[User:Graal|Graal's]] mouth, but the text that was put in the Summary box at this page's creation read: "''Secondary name for this mish - needs redirect coz mish text doesn't indicate that it is in ABANDONED sewers''".

Necessary?
Is this page really necessary? I don't think there's any reason for this redirect to exist, given that it is named after (I'm making a presumption here) the nav window text for the mission, and the mission's template already makes note of the fact that the mission takes place in the Abandoned Sewers. -LightprinceTalk 00:43, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
- I personally don't think this is necessary. Perhaps the original author (Graal) can chime in? -- Agge (talk) 02:11, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
