There are three distinct works that are linked under Evolution: the useful notes entry dealing with the scientific theory, the novel Evolution by Stephen Baxter, and the film 2001 film named Evolution with David Duchovny. They all interlink, and people are getting them confused (see the Headscratchers page for an example).

They should be in different namespaces and the Main.Evolution page should be a disambiguation page.

And any subpages should be disambiguated as well, either with a hard split like on Friday, or a soft split like on...uh, I can't think of an example, but you'd have it split into two sections with a header for each work.

Rhymes with "Protracted."

I think Star Wars has one. Maybe.

Anyway, I think UsefulNotes.Evolution can stay where it is, right? I am curious as to why you picked that page for the tag.

Fight smart, not fair.

[up]I picked that one since that was the one I noticed it was a problem with. (I clicked on the Headscratchers from there, wondering what people were taking issue with for the theory of evolution.) Because of that, I thought maybe that would be the one to migrate to a different trope name. (I realized after selecting it that it would have made way more sense to put it under the Main tag, but I don't know how to change it. So thanks, whoever moved it.)

Looks like they've been moved to the appropriate namespaces and the disambig has been repaired. Now the remaining wicks need to be corrected to go directly to the correct page and we're all good.

And I changed the tag, so it now points at the Main. page.

By the way, thank you for spotting this, tombcannon.

All the related pages should point to the correct namespace pages now.
