For another thread, typed "no rest for the wicked", and had a blue link to The Insomniac. Went to there, which has nothing to do with the actual trope. First 2 questions:

  • Who did it?
  • Why?

Err, what? I can find The Insomniac and No Rest for the Wicked easily. The latter is under a different namespace though.

I don't know how you did it, but when I did No Rest For The Wicked, I got redirected to The Insomniac. Also happens here.

Put Web Comic / No Rest For The Wicked.

But in hindsight it's a damn stupid redirect now, it should be a Disambigation page.

It Got Worse: None of the links are connected to the source of the name. Missing Trope?

Isn't this Trope Repair Shop discussion?

I don't think anything about redirects goes there, if the rest of the trope is fine.

Bump. Also, should this go to TRS?

I think the original issue was that Main.NoRestForTheWicked was a redirect to TheInsomniac instead of Webcomic.NoRectForTheWicked. I'm not sure what the OP meant by "Went to there, which has nothing to do with the actual trope". though. The Insomniac is an actual trope page, or whatever the hell post 5 is about. Source of what name? "Insomniac" is just a regular English-language word.

Made the Main.No Rest For The Wicked page a disambiguation and left a request that links or potholes pointing to it be corrected to point directly at either the trope Main.Insomnia or the work page at Webcomic.No Rest For The Wicked.

Anything else need to be done?

Page type and index set on the disambig.

Thank you. I forgot. Mea culpa.
