Understood. Thanks.

In that case, and since everyone is okay with the disambiguation in question, I'll go ahead and do the change. Thanks to Malady and Septimus for the clarifications regarding the matter. [tup]

EDIT: Also made sure to change the page type to disambiguation and add the page to Ambiguity Index.

~selkies - Since you had thoughts on this subject before:

Since I just learned that Vain is a I Just Want to Be Beautiful redirect...

Anyone against Vanity being:

''Vanity'' may refer to multiple tropes:

* {{Narcissist}}.
* {{Pride}}.
* VanityIsFeminine.
* IJustWantToBeBeautiful.

If a direct wick has led you here, please correct the link so that it points to the corresponding article.
----

...

With Vain likely being sent to Vainity if that's done...

Then there's Vain Sorceress...

All tropes related to the word vanity is about beauty which is the correct use and meaning of the word — excessive pride in one's appearance and achievements. This means that pride is a broader term and vanity is only one of the many characteristics of a narcissistic person.

So it shouldn't redirect to Narcissism and Pride. The former is broader and has much more to it than just being vain.

Add in Vain Sorceress, but you should put a one-sentence blurb about each one to explain why Vanity disambiguates between them.

[up][up][up] - Well, that's still at issue, but if anyone feels confident, they can go for it... I came back for:

The Believer: There's a Film/ and currently it's a redirect to Agent Mulder. Anything else for the future disambig to target?

I guess The Only Believer?

Lost And Found currently is a soft-redirect to Trope Finder. Would probably help more as a disambig between that and two work pages?

The main redirect, Kraken, should probably be disambiguated between Literature.Kraken and Kraken and Leviathan (where it currently redirects to)

Sakura is gonna be disambig between Cherry Blossoms, Fanfic, Creator.Sakura Game, and Creator.Winged Cloud's series.

Should we also do Cardcaptor Sakura? And anything else?

I think Sakura is good enough. Cardcaptor seems like a bit of a stretch to include.

Star. We have Stellar Index, WebVideo.Star, and Creator.Star Disney Plus... anything else?

Guilty Pleasures has a singular redirect (Guilty Pleasure), which we're not supposed to have. However, there's overlap with the first novel of the Anita Blake series which is called Guilty Pleasures. There are more wicks to the singular redirect than to the pluralized main page. Someone mentioned this redirect could become a disambig page, so I'm bringing the topic over here.

#270: Jan 22nd 2022 at 8:50:02 AM

Name changes are a TRS thing?

And yeah, they're about equal.

If someone can find more Guilty Pleasure works over Guilty Pleasures, unlikely in my opinion, plurals are better titles, then that'd be a reason to not move the page...

Heck, GP uses the singular in its description anyway.

Um... nobody is proposing a name change or a page move...?

We are not supposed to make plural redirects and in this case it's a singular redirect. We'd only be changing the redirect to be a disambig.

My first proposal was to cut the redirect entirely and clean out the wicks but then someone mentioned there's a work with that same title.

I'm don't like the "Singular redirect to Disambig" idea because it's not the work name.

And I think it makes more sense to move the current to that non-colliding Guilty Pleasure and use Guilty Pleasures for the disambig.

My TRS Megathread comment about it.

[up][up]What's being proposed is moving the trope Guilty Pleasures to its singular redirect, and making the current name a disambiguation page. That would require TRS like any other rename.

Crossing The Streams, a redirect to Forbidden Chekhov's Gun, and also referenced as a point of confusion for Converging-Stream Weapon.

Good reason to turn Crossing The Streams into a disambig between Converging-Stream Weapon, Forbidden Chekhov's Gun, and the Ghostbusters line?
