Really a Useful Note: Writers Strike

Go To

We've just finished work on moving TV Strikes to Useful Notes. Do we want to do the same with Writers Strike?

The other option would be to make Writers Strike redirect to TV Strikes. I'm not entirely clear on the difference between the 2.

Here's the TV Strikes thread, for reference.

Looking at it, there's not much on that page worth salvaging. Saying it's like TV Strikes but a bit more specific isn't helping.

Opening for ideas, but I will throw in a hat for "convert to a redirect".

I went ahead and made a crowner. Should cover all reasonable actions we might choose to take.

Please hook the crowner.

The crowner can't be hooked because of the bug, but if you use the link above, you should still be able to vote.

I was going to propose merging with TV Strikes, rather than merely redirecting to it. Should that be included in the crowner?

[up] I would consider that the same as cutting. We always salvage anything useful before a cut, which could be put on TV Strikes.

I mean, merging and making it a redirect can be the same thing, though "merging" usually entails retaining a significant portion of the description, IIRC. But cutting it has generally meant deleting the wicks outright, as well as deleting the description. I'm just asking for clarification, I guess.

Are we keeping any part of the description or what?

We've got 8 votes to make this into a redirect. Is that enough to act upon?

[up]I think so. I've seen recent TRS threads have action taken with similar amounts of consensus.

Let's go ahead with the merge.

And the page has been cut, so this thread is done.
