Point 1, note the following rule from our | Wiki guidelines page:

Don't make sweeping changes or change headings without discussing.

You did no such thing here.

We have admins to avoid edit wars where members of the wiki community disagree on what is appropriate for an article. Those admins decided on multiple occasions that your new race pages were not needed, and you've ignored them. Since there's a good chance your pages are going to be deleted, I don't want to have to go back and clear out those dead links when they are.

The links you are removing were explicitly put there by me, and I put effort into putting them there. I do not agree that they need to be removed. You can appeal that to the admins and maybe they'll agree with you. If the consensus is that your way is better... fine.

But there was a more practical point, in that your edits broke at least one link that you didn't delete and your new links were stylistically inconsistent with the rest of the article, because you don't appear to know how the pipe delimiter for having linked text different from the article name works. The odds are that there are more, and you also somehow managed to break Wikia's difference highlighting code, so I can't tell what changes were made without copying the source from before and after to an external editor. Reversion and redoing is the only way to ensure that you haven't introduced any other bugs.

If we are going to keep your new pages, I can go through and make the necessary link additions myself without untidy unlinked s characters at the end of pluralized words, and I can do it faster and more accurately than you because I add the links by RegEx. (Which is the cause of the duplicate links that distress you so much.)

But, as noted above, the consensus in the discussion of the Races page was to reject your proposed new pages, so I see no reason to link to them.
