As of now, Plagiarism in Fiction is the in-universe counterpart to Plagiarism. But Plagiarism has no examples because it would probably end up as locked Flame Bait like Small Name, Big Ego was for a while. Does anyone oppose merging them so that the trope doesn't have such an awkward title?

I don't think they should be merged - plagiarism currently reads more like a Useful Note and should probably be namespaced, with Plagiarism in Fiction given the spot in main.

Plagiarism was supposed to be namespaced to Useful Notes when it was split into the page on what it is and the page on it as a literary device and examples of it in fiction. Apparently that wasn't done.

Move Main.Plagiarism to UsefulNotes.Plagiarism.

Thank you. Locking up, unless there's something more that needs to be done?

I don't think there's anything else that needs to be done.

While we're on the subject though, we may as well rename Pagiarism In Fiction. "In Fiction" is redundant - we could add that to every trope name. Instead, shouldn't it be Plaguarism Plot or something?

(Which would mean that entries like "Bartlett shares a witticism about plagiarism" wouldn't be examples... and, in any case, they aren't.)

Actually, changing the title to Plagiarism Plot wouldn't be a bad thing to do.

Nah, I think we're done.
