Ever heard of the concept of click vs. clutter? It's well worth repeating information in multiple locations to avoid forcing people to run across several pages to find what they're looking for. Perhaps it could be condensed with a suggestion to check the Shiva of the East page but it's silly to say NO IT DOESN'T BELONG HERE IT'S ALREADY HERE. That's like saying you shouldn't detail which blacksmith upgrades what on the weapon ascension page because it should be on each blacksmith's page, or vice versa.

It really doesn't matter how many ways there are to find Shiva and his bodyguard, or how many ways there are to fight the assassin. This way works, it can be done from nearly the start of the game without much trouble, and that's what I put there. Dark Souls isn't anywhere near as non-linear as you think; that's just an illusion because the game has absolutely no guidance whatsoever and there's always a degree of luck in all interactions. And you go ahead and stand facing away from that guy and tell me how well that goes for you.

Pro tip: Create the "Ring" page and put this in it: #REDIRECTRings

Problem solved. Now you don't have to waste time typing ring like an idiot every time you want to link to the page, because they're both the same page.

I may not admin this wiki but it doesn't seem to be any better off for it.
