First, wiki links in ATT titles don't work. Second, Fan Fictions is not a valid namespace. What are you trying to do, exactly?

There's already a Fan Works page for MLPFiM, so it's quite redundant to make such a page.

I was giving advice to Gladeshy about where to index a fic they troped, so I went to FanWorks.Western Animation, which led me to FanWorks.My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic, which led me to FanFictions.My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic, and then I wondered if this was the right place for the fics to go, or if they should go in another Fan Works namespace. Basically, I'm just curious if this needs to be moved or not.

I would say that Fanfictions needs to be moved to Fanfiction.My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic, at the least.

And since it's kind of redundant to have both a Fan Works and a Fanfiction page for the same topic, they should be merged. And cleaned up, starting with that use of potholing Ensemble Darkhorse to Ensemble Darkponies.

Edit: Fanfiction.My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic is its own page already. That makes three that need to be merged/cleaned up/checked for redundencies. Ow.

Indeed. Merge FanFictions.My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic and Fanfiction.My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic into FanWorks.My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic which is the right namespace. And alphabetize the list.

Update? I'm currently consolidating these lists (they're the same so far), and would like to know if anyone is also doing this already (or already did it but hasn't put it on Fan Works/ yet).

Actually, the lists are exactly the same except for one entry. The content has been moved to Fan Works/ and the two pages are now on the cutlist. I think this can be locked.
