While I've heard that work pages usually have precedent over a trope page, I'm currently working on YKTTW for God's of war, and I think this trope in particular might exceed the precedence of War God. And it already has a redirect in Bahzell, so changing it won't be that difficult.

I would like some opinion's on what we should do first though, so what do you think?

We could just move it to the Literature namespace. Which is the proper title?

[up]Oh... right. I keep forgetting about the namespace thing. So, should I move it?

It's technically called The War Gods, by the way.

Ekuran,

What about switching the trope page for the work to The War Gods and making War God the page for your trope? I feel like War God sounds pretty generic for a work name anyway and if you do that you do not have to worry about having anything in a Literature namespace. Personally, I like to have work pages be on the main namespace so people are less likely to use the trope name to refer to the work. I would be glad to help you move some of the wicks if you do decide to move the pages around in such a way.

Still, I do not have too much experience in this type of thing, so obviously a moderator or the like can overrule me here.

So, we're suggesting a rename to The War Gods.

I guess this means I have to call down the might of the Mods to decide on this.

Are you there mods? It's me, asking for you advice here.

Move it to the literature one if you can. The War Gods, just copy and paste everything over from the War God page, change all the wiks as necessary, then notify the mods to move the discussion page.

I moved the trope description to The War Gods, fixed the index, moved the WMG page, and fixed the wicks. It looks to me like both The War Gods and War God are ways to refer to the series in question, so in many cases I just potholed The War Gods. For now I left War God as a redirect, but when the War God trope is actually launched, you can go ahead and just edit the trope there and remove the redirect.

I am really uncertain about this though, so I would really appreciate it if someone checked my work here.

I didn't think I would have the patience to move all those wicks, so thank you Louie.

If you're done, I suggest hollering for a lock.

Yeah, this discussion is pretty much done. Calling for a lock now.
