Mythology And Religion and Religion And Mythology are currently being used as subpages for a variety of namespaces for no apparent reason. I propose moving over the subpages from one of the two wikiwords to the other, and then making the defunct one a redirect to avoid repetition of the problem.

The only issue is, which do we go with?

I prefer the R before M one seeing as it rolls off the tongue better.

That was what I was thinking too.

So... Do we need to get more votes, do a crowner, or what?

"Myths & Religion" seems to be more common as a folder on the pages that haven't been split.

Just saying, though. It doesn't have to be the same as a subpage.

As a side-note, a similar effort might be needed to sort out the subpages using "Film/Films", "Animates Film/Films" and "Live-Action Film/Films".

M comes before R in the alphabet... and I think mythology is what's really get troped. We don't trope people's religions/beliefs, we trope the stories/myths.

As St Fan said, M&R folders seem to be more common.

Actually, we do assign tropes to religions. See the various articles on UsefulNotes.Religion.

So... Is there anything that I need to do before doing the page-moving?

Technically wouldn't the correct mainspace be "Myth/" seeing as that's where works like Classical Mythology and Norse Mythology are kept?

... That sidelines religion as being merely a subset of mythology, which is not true; a religion can have a mythology, but you cannot say that a religion is part of or equal to a mythology.

Are there any religious works on site that don't fall under Literature or Myth? Sorry if this is disrespectful, I'm not trying to comment on anything besides how namespaces relate to sub-pages.
