Not Tropeworthy: Short Titles

I created this index when we still had our own search engine, because it only would take strings three letters or longer, so you couldn't look up works with two- or one-letter titles. Now that we're using a Google search, this requirement isn't there, I feel the index is no longer needed.

What does everyone think?

searches of a few characters now have the opposite problem. Instead of nothing, they bring up every page on the wiki. I was trying to find the page for W. a few days ago and gave up. That appears not to have a page for some reason, but I just searched for "x" and you have to go through many pages of results before you get to the actual work.

Just checked, and it seems that except for really ordinary letters Google does a sufficient work by itself.

Not trope worthy, but it's kind of a nifty index. I haven't seen this kind of list anywhere else.

I think it's an acceptable index.

It could possibly be seen as a trope, in that there are various reasons to give something a short name, though that may be a little too fuzzy.

I'm not saying it's a trope, there just wasn't a category that fit better. I'm only proposing we get rid of it because the Google site search makes it obsolete, and "not tropeworthy" sounded like the closest thing.

I don't think we should delete it. Yeah, we do have a Google search function, but it's still very useful to have. Besides, it's not being used as a trope itself, just as a special index, so it isn't doing any harm to the wiki.

As has been said, Google searches can cause problems with really short names giving you an enormous amount of pages.

It doesn't help that Google brings up pages that don't exist, too.

Can we call this a consensus to keep it, and if so, is there anything to do here?

Looks like we're okay with this.
