"Biblical sense" puns officially suck.: Know Thyself

I would go to YKTTW with this, because I think Know Thyself should be its own trope, but strangely enough it's already taken: it is a redirect to a trope about clone sex. Apparently, someone thought the "Biblical" pun was funny enough that making it a redirect was a good idea.

Unaccustomed as I am to anything much more complicated than grammar edits (and to public speaking), I'm not planning on saying a whole lot here. I'm hoping that the meaning of the phrase in question is self-evident enough that I don't have much explaining to do *

. If it doesn't have enough examples to qualify as a trope, or if it turns out to be indistinguishable from Be Yourself, then it should probably just redirect to there instead, but who in the hell is going to click a link to Know Thyself and expect an Examples list full of selfcest Slash Fics? Hell, the page image is of one guy having a threesome with himself.

Ponders too much; thinks too little. Currently goes by Knowlessman.

Note the redirect isn't actually being used (which is the case with many redirects) — that's practically free license to retarget.

An Ear Worm is like a Rickroll: It is never going to give you up.

Unused redirects are there to help with searching.

This one, though, hinders searching, except by Beavis And Butthead. If nothing can be done with it, cut it.

If it has no wicks and no inbounds, cutlist it, with the explanation that you want it freed up for the trope that it's generally used to mean. Then ponce you have the page at least roughed out, ask in the thread for unlocking a locked page that Isn't a member of the Permanent Redlink Club in Wiki Talk.

I don't see why he would need to cutlist it. He's just moving the redirect when he launches the page. The cutlisting inbetween just seems pointless to me.

Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. Dick

I killed the redirect. Now its just a blank page. Now Artemis can use that when he launches the YKTTW. And if that was the wrong thing to do, it will take half a second to revert.

Anything else?

Uh... I guess not. Thanks, guys.

Mostly I was worried 'cause I didn't know what to do about the redirect.

I'll get on YKTTW soonish.

Ok, then. Locking this one up.
