Changing Main redirects into Disambigs....

A Day In The Life was converted from a redirect into a disambig as a couple works have the same name as the redirect.

she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope Report

Galley Slave is both a Literature and a redirect.

It's been dewicked, but I don't have the finesse to turn it into a disambig right now.

Done.

Metal... Currently a Heavy Metal redirect. Metallic Tropes exists...

Mother Earth is a Mother Nature redirect...

Disambig between that and Earth Mother? Only 9 wicks to change.

Any other targets?

Metal will probably need some checking on The Metal (A DC Comics thing), but those two are probably reason enough to disambiguate.

Mother Earth to Mother Nature, Earth Mother, and Mother Goddess, there's also another Asimov story by that name.

Link to TRS threads in project mode here.

Will do! The Metal is a bit unlikely to be confused with, but we do definite articles anyway, ish...

But then again, not unless we need to, and we don't need to yet...

...

Wartime Romance, which is also a Film, has 7 wicks that I'm not sure what to move to. The first, Characters.Miss Saigon isn't the same as the target, Wartime Wedding.

Finished Mother Earth. Doing Metal later, since it has more wicks.

Whoops, forgot about Metal, but will do that now...

True Colors, currently a Beneath the Mask redirect, disambig with Life Is Strange: True Colors?

I think that'd be good. Maybe also True Colors, the third book in the Republic Commando Series?

Also, Dirt. Obviously Dirt and Dirt (Album)... maybe some tropes with "Dirt" in the title?

Currently mostly inactive. An incremental game I tested: https://galaxy.click/play/176 (Gods of Incremental)

- That's more a disambig, for Dirt, since it's not already made. Also Dishing Out Dirt, perhaps.

Put that in the Locked Pages Thread, with a post template here.

Genie is a Genie in a Bottle redirect, but it's a Pinball, and Our Genies Are Different is a better target, so that's my plan to change it.

---

Gonna do True Colors when I finish my One-Word Title edit.

Note to Self: The song "True Colors" from Cyndi Lauper.

It's been a few days, so I'll bump this...

Faerie (Land of Faerie) and Fairy should merge into a disambig, likely at Fairy.

I think it sounds good. Don't know if Disney Fairies is too much of a stretch for Fairy? Or maybe those pages should have those work indexes if they exist, like Genie Works?

Currently mostly inactive. An incremental game I tested: https://galaxy.click/play/176 (Gods of Incremental)

Well, I put a question about it in the One-Word Title redirects thread.

Regeneration, currently going to Healing Factor... Redirect to Healing and Curing Tropes? Or what?

Vanity is a weird redirect to Narcissist.

Could it disambig with Vanity Is Feminine and or something else, so it's not a redirect anymore?

~selkies... Because you seem interested.

...

Selkies should not be a redirect and the singular should be a disambig. I do tomorrow... Later today.

Bump since I made put Selkie in the Locked Pages Thread.

...

Also, VideoGame.The Precursors exists while Main.The Precursors is a redirect.

Gonna disambig tomorrow if no objections.

- And The Precursors is now a disambig.

What to do with Vanity and stuff... Disambig, or not? Hmm...

I was told I could make a redirect request here.

After receiving support from the Bubbly Clouds TRS cleanup, there's a change from redirect to disambiguation page I'd like to request. Right now, Bubbly Clouds redirects to Level in the Clouds after a rename process. The last thing pending before requesting the thread's closure is the aforementioned change. Here's the proposed writeup:

---

A link somewhere on the Internet sent you to this page.

It may refer to one of the following pages:

• Level in the Clouds: A video game level that is set in the sky, featuring fantastical features like cloud platforms, tall beanstalks and floating objects.
• Solid Clouds: Bodies of evaporated water that, in fiction, can be stepped on as if they were firm ground or a soft pillow.

Please change any link to point to the correct page.

135 - 158 - 273 - 191 - 188 - 230 - 300

---

Oh, I see now... if you want discussion... I'm not against the redirect, but not heavily for it either.

...

Well, in regards to what Septimus said, I just like making sure I'm making good Disambigs and covering everything.

But nice to know this process isn't officially needed.

I thought only mods were permitted to do the disambiguation process, though? I admit I'm blindsided right now.

135 - 158 - 273 - 191 - 188 - 230 - 300

If you're making a whole new page in Main, then you go on the Locked Pages Thread.

Since otherwise you go TLP.

As it says at its top:

"It can also be used for technical requests to moderators such as creating new pages in the Main/ and other restricted namespaces without going through YKTTW."

...

Since Bubbly Clouds is already made, you can change it as you like.

.....

After reading your post, now I fully understand what Septimus was explaining in the Bubbly Clouds TRS thread regarding this matter. I feel like an idiot.

And it's not that I "wanted a discussion" about it first (in fact, I was wishing this relatively minor subject was wrapped up soon so we could close the thread and free a new slot for TRS, since the major actions for the trope page's repair are already done). I only thought it was necessary in all cases regarding disambiguation creations.

Then again, that TRS thread (which was created by me) taught me many things I never got to learn otherwise in my eight years at TV Tropes, and it's a very horrible feeling. I still don't feel confident with adding the writeup myself (not because I don't believe you, but because of my shame).

Well, the disambig discussion is here now, so we don't have to use the TRS thread for it, so it can be closed if you want...?

I'll post in the All-Purpose thread so mods can know it can be closed, then.

Afterwards, I'm going to bed. I need to sleep.

Actually, you can just holler the TRS thread.

Current Project: Incorruptible Pure Pureness

... Ow.

Well, I guess I'll do that, then (I already posted on the All-Purpose thread, but I guess it doesn't hurt to do something I could very well have done before anything else).

135 - 158 - 273 - 191 - 188 - 230 - 300

I'm sure it's fine either way.

Current Project: Incorruptible Pure Pureness

I've closed the thread.

I don't think we ever care if someone changes a redirect to a disambiguation. Certainly, you don't need permission.
