Change redirect to Mannworks (Quicklime Factory)

In my opinion, short of making an article for Mann Co. Quicklime (probably unwarranted), the Quicklime redirect should redirect to wherever the subject is most deeply discussed, which presently is Mannworks. Mann Co. Quicklime makes several appearances in the game and in background content; the Voodoo-Cursed Bag of Quicklime Item is just one minor appearance. Sticky bomb does not redirect to Voodoo-Cursed Sticky-Bomb. Robot does not redirect to Voodoo-Cursed Robot Arm. The Quicklime redirect should be changed to redirect to Mannworks, then the Voodoo-Cursed Bag of Quicklime article should then be linked to from Mannworks in either Trivia or See also sections, or in the main text.

Quite honestly, an item should take priority over a map in a case like this, seeing as how the item's name directly mentions quicklime. Your examples are also somewhat farfetched, considering how sticky bombs and robots are much bigger game mechanics than quicklime. I'm gonna go and make it into a disambig.

I'm fine with that, I was happy with either redirect or disambiguation. I would have gone with the disambiguation if there was an actual non-voodoo cursed item. The point of my farfetched examples was not to argue that the map article had precedence but that the voodoo-cursed item article did not (have precedence over any "main" article about the Quicklime). The real issue, wee though it be, is that Mann Co. Quicklime makes multiple appearances in the game and background; so, if there is TF2 wiki content about the Quicklime, where should it be? Mannworks, Voodoo-Cursed Bag of Quicklime, List of companies, or elsewhere? Mikado282 (talk) 18:19, 25 May 2014 (PDT)
