The ComicBook/ Namespace, and the lack of requirements to qualify

Is there a list of DC pages that have been merged?

I don’t think the DC side has progressed to the point where mergers have started yet.

I know some have, since Anti-Monitor is now a redirect to DC Comics Miscellaneous.

Huh. Well than your gonna have to talk to Gigan

There will be mergers, but I’m not sure if we need an entire page for them.

I'd say it's probably a good idea, so there's an easy way to see what pages should be manually redirected. Or at least add those to Character Specific Pages That Affect Locked Pages.

I’ve been considering a page for Characters.Harley Quinn, but I’m not sure exactly who would make it onto that list, there are a few obvious choices (Harley, Poison Ivy, etc) but I’m not sure about the rest.

Bump.

Hey just letting everyone know that I created a merged pages list for the DC Comics at Tropers, Go!

Thanks for keeping us up-to-date.

I’ve been gathering the Bytes for the Batman character pages to se what can get cut, bold indicates they need attention.

Ok so I went through the pages a bit and here's what I did/think,

Azrael: Split between Characters.Azrael and ComicBook.Azrael

Batgirl (Comic Book): Moved characters to Characters.Batgirl. Made a section for Volumes.

Batgirl (Character): Moved characters over from ComicBook.Batgirl

Batman: Clayface: Moved to Characters.Batman Rogues Gallery Part 1

Batman: Huntress: Enough for a solo page. Could probably make ComicBook.Huntress about the comics and move the characters to Characters.Huntress

Batman: Jason Todd: Enough for a solo page. Could probably make ComicBook.RedHood

Batman Lady Shiva: Enough for a solo page.

Batman: The Penguin: Enough for a solo page.

Batman: Two-Face: Enough for a solo page.

The Creeper: Moved to Characters.Batman Supporting Cast

Deadshot: I'm not really sure about this one. I had moved him to Characters.Batman Rogues Gallery Part 1 but he got moved to Characters.Deadshot

Robin: I didnt really go through this one although it could probably be curated to be more about the Robin series

So ComicBook.Lois Lane is now about the 2019-2020 series, but shouldn't we have a page for her Silver Age comic, Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane? I don't know nearly enough about it to make a page on it myself, but it illustrates quite a few trope pages, so you could use its entry on ImageSource.Comic Books M To Z to start a trope page. Same goes for Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen.

Yeah there is a plan for it, but like you I haven't read either series so I can't really create them myself.

I might try that, but I'm pretty far behind on my to-do list. This is why redlinking individual works within the franchise(s) is so helpful, though, as it would make this task much easier.

I’d also be willing to take a stab at making that page but not til later today.

Double post; Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane and Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen are up and running now. Don't know where else to index them besides DC Comics Series though.

Decade indexes (The '50s, etc.), Superhero Stories, Franchise.Superman, UsefulNotes.The Silver Age Of Comic Books

Now to edit the surprising number of tropes that use images from those comics listed on ImageSource.Comic Books M To Z to pothole the images to the correct work pages.

Anything that I can do?

Well you can check out Comic Character Cleanup, its a index of all the various cleanup pages.

So I'm going through the cutlist, and I see that ~Gate Star X is moving Characters.Marvel Comics Deaths Head back to the Comicbook namespace... but the description is still about the character, not the comics. (emphasis mine)

Compare Harry Potter, which says "A series of middle grade/young adult novels by".

I moved it back because Mprh 1 is currently working on all the Marvel UK comics and I figured that they would add some non character tropes to it.

"Because [this person] might fix it" isn't a good enough reason to move it back. "Because [this person] has fixed it" would be.

That is true. I guess ill take a look at it myself.
