The link syntax is something we use to preserve the original links in the shared help space on other wikis and do not want to change; it doesn't matter if it opens in another window or not, as long as the links themselves work.

The help page had been moved to "H" in the help category instead of "P" when you had changed the category. I checked before reverting it. But even if it had not, removing the pagename key-sort was unnecessary. It wasn't broken.

The recent format changes and minor adjustments you are making to help pages, the spotlights page, templates, and other similar pages, are not helpful. In general, those pages should only be edited to correct errors (links which are broken, typos), or occasionally to remove outdated information and broken links. And right now, as Bert said, we would prefer that you not make changes. On a wiki on which I’m an administrator, we don’t use page name sortkeys, and catergories still work like they should. Sortkeys are only used if pages in a category should be sorted differently than by default; using the page name as the sort key changes nothing and is therefore unnecessary.

First you say that the new-window links work, and now you say that it doesn’t matter if they don’t work. The new-window links do not work; it is better if we use regular wikilinks, since if we do, the icon next to the links will not appear.

I did not revert your revision. First, I undid it and explained why. When you reverted it and left a message on my wall, I simply fixed the punctuation, which you reverted without explaining why—I also removed the page name sortkey, which is, like I said, unnecesary.
