Move to Film namespace: The Red Baron

The film The Red Baron is frequently mistaken for the trope Red Baron. It's not a well-wicked film, so I don't think bumping it to the Film namespace and making the main a redirect for the trope will hurt anything.

Alternatively, we could rename Red Baron. Although with 600+ wicks (although low inbounds) that seems unlikely to go through.

EDIT: This is why I should not create threads late at night. I have screwed up the thread title. How embarrassing.

You should be able to edit it to fix it.

(The thread title, I mean.)

Not that I can find.

That doesn't change the title, it changes the linked article. Which helps, thanks, but doesn't completely fix the problem.

Oh, you want to change the title. Holler to a mod.

It is a poorly-named trope. When I first saw it, I assumed that it had something to do with piloting ability.

Another joins the cause, meh he he he.

Hated Call Sign?

Why not just swap with the redirect?

Huh, I was confusing Red Baron with The Butcher I think.

Well, in the meantime, I added Film.Red Baron as a redirect to The Red Baron so that the "Film" tab shows up on Red Baron.

The redirect is a nice, clear title for the trope (Badass Nickname). Another possibility is Only Known By A Badass Nickname, which is even clearer, but long.

The film's name is The Red Baron. That's the one we want in the Film. Namespace. Media namespaces should not redirect to main namespaces unless it's unavoidable.

I'm not the only one who likes having the tabs link between different works of the same name, am I?

But Red Baron and The Red Baron aren't the same name...

Bumping this. This seems like a fairly open and shut case to me, but I don't feel like I have consensus for it yet.

Since it's been stated that the best case scenario would have all works in their appropriate namespace, any work title that causes problems in Main should be a shoe-in to get moved. Support.

I'm not sure if we've settled on anything to support.

I'm not sure what needs to get done. Red Baron was already turned into a redirect for The Red Baron, right? Or did you want that moved to The Red Baron?

Also, I vote swapping the Red Baron trope for its redirect Badass Nickname. I know a lot of people are sick of badass tropes, but you can't deny its more clear.

No, we haven't done anything yet.

The Red Baron should get moved to the Film namespace, probably no matter what we do. The questions are:

• Do we rename Red Baron? It's easily mistaken for the film and for "enemy ace" or even "ace pilot." I will do a wick check to see how often this happens.

• Depending on what we do above, what do we do with the main namespaced The Red Baron page?

Until the trope Red Baron gets its name changed, Main.The Red Baron ought to be a disambiguation page. If we rename Red Baron, then I suppose we can just make Main.The Red Baron a redirect to Film.The Red Baron.

Made a topic about renaming Red Baron. I agree with it being not a very clear title.

Alright, I'll move to Film namespace and make a disambig. This can prolly be locked.
