There is now a page action crowner here
. I think I got everything, but feel free to add pros and cons.
Oh, I thought I just double-posted that one. Oh well, no harm done.
Writing a post-post apocalypse LitRPG on RR. Also fanfic stuff.If the Werecreature/beast supertrope gets approved, I will turn the Other Werecreatures
YKTTW into the supertrope, but I would ask that people help me out in correcting or adding new wicks to the various work pages.
We will also need to pick the best name, and take over the "Therianthrope" redirects that are incorrectly being used for Petting-Zoo People. They should be using Theriocephaly.
Also, see The Other Wiki Therianthropy article here
for more info about this topic.

I've stuck a large portion of the werewolf description text behind folders. Anyone else think this is a workable solution to the Wall of Text problem?
In the long run, you are right. If we end up creating the supertrope, a lot of it can probably be reworded to describe werebeasts in general, and moved to an anyalsis page for the Werebeast trope. If the supertrope gets voted down and we soft split instead, we can create an anaysis page for the current page.
I just don't want to create a new page now if we are going to move some of it latter. I figured folders would be a short term fix.
Ah, good point. We'll deal with it when the supertrope is made then.
I am going to note, the point about renaming wiks doesn't matter. I've done a 600 wik change by myself in a day and I'm willing to do the same for this if needed.

Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. DickSince there's already a YKTTW running for Other Weres, maybe we can leave picking the name up to that. No real need for a rename crowner if it can be handled through the usual channels.
That YKTTW is on semi-hold, I think, awaiting the outcome of this discussion, but it's still accumulating examples. (I'd post a link, but I'm on my phone, not my computer.)
Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.
I'm running that one and I'd prefer a vote, but we shall see. If there is enough consensus in the discussions, perhaps we can do without a vote. I'm inclined to use both Werecreature and Werebeast. The question is which would be the best primary title and which would be relegated to redirect status.
I'm a fan of the werebeast supertrope option, but I don't think the name for it should be snowcloned from the werevoles or imply that it's "other than" werewolves. The supertrope logically includes werewolves, so the name should not imply that it doesn't.
An Ear Worm is like a Rickroll: It is never going to give you up.But they're almost always called weresomething. Weretiger, werebear, werelion, wereduck, werespider. That's just what they're called. We didn't start the snowcloning. Calling them something else invites confusion.
