Rename: Scrooge Mc Duck Universe

I think that "Donald Duck universe", or some variant thereof, is problematic for a number of reasons. Donald is certainly the most publicly recognizable character, but he's not as central to the stories themselves as Scrooge. Not only have Scrooge's comics remained in continuous publication for longer, but most of Donald's stories are sitcom-style slice-of-life pieces that have relatively little impact in terms of world-building. As a coherent shared universe, most of it gelled around Scrooge Mc Duck, not Donald Duck.

I think "Ducks universe" or "Disney Ducks universe" is probably the most descriptive, personally.

All right. I'm calling this one for Disney Ducks Comic Universe. It's had the lead long enough and it's a clear enough margin.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but Donald has in fact appeared in more stories than $crooge. Aside from Don Rosa's opus, it's much rarer to find a $crooge story without Donald than the opposite. I'm basing this off Inducks' page.

seancdaug does have a point; $crooge pays a more important role on the Verse's making. Hence why I'm glad we ended with this new name. Thanks to everyone's support and contributions!

Alright, the description and examples on the Scrooge Mc Duck Universe page were copied and pasted to a new Disney Ducks Comic Universe one, the subpages were copied as well and the old ones were placed on the cutlist and subsequently cut. Scrooge Mc Duck Universe along with its former redirects are now redirects for Disney Ducks Comic Universe.

The wicks are fixed save for a few artifact ones. It is probably worth noting that a decent number of them were cut entirely, either for misuse or more commonly because they were just accidental wikiwording of the name Mc Duck when talking about Scrooge.

In any event, please feel free to check my work here in case I made any mistakes in the renaming process.
