- Motivation
WWE.com has profiles on current and former WWE wrestlers and other performers (managers, announcers, etc), and former WCW and ECW alumni (as they own WCW and ECW). I've included diva/ as part of the identifier, as there seems to be only a few wrestlers who need it as part of their link, so it seems better to lump them in here, rather than having a separate property. WWE have recently abandoned the term Diva for their female performers, so I assume they will eventually just use the same link for all of them. [1] is one example where the divas link now redirects to the version without it. en:template:WWE diva is used on enwiki to link to those that remain. [2] is an isolated example, as wwealumni is included in the the official link, but the link works without, so I don't think we need to include that part of the identifier. I think we should include tag teams as they use the same link formats for both. It seems this could be suitable for mix and match, as you could scrape the page for links, and then remove those few with unusual formatting. Silverfish (talk) 23:13, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
