Yes. Now, if you were to take those links to current information and make a page out of them, eventually they would be links to obsolete information (assuming Blizzard keeps changing the game). So when Joe Newbie shows up in two years, how will he know if the information is really current? You could, of course, commit to maintaining the links up to date, removing links to obsolete info and adding links as new info comes out or as the game changes. And if you did that, it would be amazing and wonderful. But, still, how would Joe know? Which is why I think putting a date or a version number (or both, for the logically challenged) with the links might be a good idea.
Yes. Linking the info to the relevant patch would be ideal. Something like "this page applies to version blah blah through bork bork." But that would be more work than simply saying "this page appeared on Septoper 32, 2055". With two such links, each referring to information that contradicts the other, knowing their relative dates is a very useful bit of data in determining which is presently correct.

Ohhhhh! I understand what your saying now. No, I promised I'd maintain the links page if it were put up. This actually sound rather exciting to me, if I post the stickies links page, then people PM me with either more relevant information, or info they'd like to see that is not on there, and I can add it and/or make corrections. But this page would only be for D2, which is why I feel it would be best in these forums.
