Click at your own peril.

It's a sad day in my Magnum world! :magnum: :higgins:
Knocking my rubber chicken or my sloppy habits is within the rules, but you're attacking my character. I would like to think you don't mean that.

Wonder if it's CBS who hijacked the Wiki page to redirect to the new version.

You'll notice if you click here on the first paragraph.

If you go down to “based on,” there’s a link to the original/real version. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnum,_P.I.

Is it because of the comma?

I thought it might have to do with the comma but not sure.

That’s why I posted this:

That link probably would have been written in that first paragraph when Magnum Mania was started many moons ago.

Why I thought maybe it was ‘hijacked’ now that it goes straight to the new version.

Not sure if I’m being very clear though.

Yes, I see what you mean. Well, the first thing that needs to be done is the link on our main page needs to be updated to reflect the one with the comma.

Of course, most people who go to wiki looking for info about the original series are probably not going to be aware that it has a comma.

I know it's only been one day, but the link here really needs editing so it links to the real Magnum.

On the history page -- https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?ti ... on=history

... we see this...

So, whoever Robberey1705 is, he did it in May of last year.

The history for the Hernandez atrocity starts on that same day:
