This is a joke page, and the confusion is part of the joke. Nevermind that this proposal got an admin veto back then.

Chekovs Gun and Chekhov's Gun can easily be confused. First one is essentially a Just for Fun trope, second is the actual trope. Problems is, people who misspell Chekhov wind up creating a link to the wrong page instead of a getting a red link that would prompt a fixing.
This is currently being discussed on Ask The Tropers. Following idea came up as a temporary workaround: Putting a redirect to Chekhov's Gun in Main of Chekovs Gun and moving Chekovs Gun to Just for Fun. Related pages for Chekovs Gun (ca. 150) have to be reviewed and either relinked to the Just for Fun section or left alone. This doesn't solve the redlinking issue though.
