#I think before we do any changes to namespaces, we have to figure out how to make these pages more noticeable. It seems a bit difficult for new users of the wiki (and even some Bloons Youtubers) to find update notes and their balance changes already, so moving them right now would only make things worse. I think it is a good idea to copy the Minecraft Wiki's style on update disambiguations, but it might need more. --[[User:Planterror|Planterror]] ([[User talk:Planterror|talk]]) 11:18, 6 April 2026 (UTC) | |||

@[[User:Planterror|Planterror]] If you don't think adding disambiguation pages and redirects is enough to make these pages easier to find, I could also add a link to [[:Category:Updates]] to the mainpage and sidebar.

:Yeah, sounds good. I have a fear that linking to a category page might be a bit overwhelming to find the correct update, so maybe having the update history pages (such as [[Update history:Bloons TD 6]]) appear in the general category ''only'', and then from there users have a more readable format to find the update they are looking for from there. --[[User:Planterror|Planterror]] ([[User talk:Planterror|talk]]) 23:38, 6 April 2026 (UTC) | |||
