Ununnilium: I'm sorry, but that should so not be spoilered. Yes, it's a spoiler for the Twist Ending of the second book... but he's referred to repeatedly as "Tom Riddle" in the rest of the books.
Tanto: Bob seems to have missed the "We spoil stuff; live with it" message on the main page.

Malimar: Added Mender Silos/Lord Nemesis from City of Heroes. I very vaguely recall something involving that and this page from some months ago, but I can't remember if it was ever actually listed on this page. If it was and it got removed for whatever reason, I apologize, a revert war is not my intention, I'll leave it off if it's removed again.
Vulpy: As one of the resident CityOfHeroes players, I can only think Mender Nemesilos would've been removed in The Great Crash. I added a blurb about The Honoree as well.
Rogue 7: I'm fairly certain that the entire plot of the "Deltora Quest" books revolved around this, but it's been long enough since I read them (and they were bad enough) that I blocked it out. I think literally every single book revolved around some form of wordplay like this.
Micah: Moved The Adventure Game example to the main page where it belongs.
- The writer T. S. Eliot is an odd case. His full name was Thomas Stearns Eliot, an anagram of 'I'm a lesson to the arts'. He published under the name T.S. Eliot, an anagrams of 'toilets'. Maybe he didn't want to seem too full of himself...
- I have removed this example as an uninteresting and insignificant coincidence, and instead added the classical Nessiteras rhombopteryx/Monster hoax by Sir Peter S. Mike Rosoft
Micah: Someone asks, about the Harry Potter example:
- Why didn't they keep the name and the anagram from the English version, and then for the foreign versions, put in a note there explaining to the readers why it is so?
Burai: Removed ...
- * Similarly, Bilbo Baggins' mother and her sisters: Belladonna, Donnamira, and Mirabella.
