Changing Main redirects into Disambigs....

Because it's the Trope Namer? Some other disambigs do it too, like... Well, I can't find any right now, but I know they exist!

Ah! Brave New World!

Anyone against Alien Hominid being a disambig between the work and Human Aliens?

Would anyone search for "Alien Hominid" and mean the trope?

Probably not. Putting it on the Cut List.

Thoughts on The Aviator disambig to Ace Pilot? Or is it too broad?

Okay, so the OP is now split into pages that have been dewicked, and the few that haven't because I dunno what to do or because of too many wicks-ish.

Like, Spoiler Warning: 1 wicks, but I dunno where to go with that.

Same with Evil Is Stylish.

Crown, as an existing redirect to Cool Crown and also the name of a Manga/, should be disambig-ed even as it has only 73 inbounds?

But do we want to target Series.The Crown as well?

I think that's reasonable. I don't have any ideas for the above, though.

And finally remembered to do that.

So, now, for another idea:

Cougar. Currently going to Mrs. Robinson. Should we disambig with Panthera Awesome as well?

Edited by Malady on Feb 17th 2022 at 8:28:36 AM

Sounds fine, I suppose. Maybe if any films called Cougar had a page (pretty sure there's at least one).

And that's done... I should probably do Dear John next. That's an obvious one.

This one, I'm not so sure:

Pluto: Currently a redirect to Manga/. Should it be a disambig? And if so, with what? WesternAnimation.Pluto The Pup, Pluto Is Expendable, anything else?

Creator.Pluto TV, Film.Pluto (this), maybe Classical Mythology

And I'm now focusing on TLP Discards. *Sigh*

...

I gotta remember to turn Kichiku Megane into a disambig with the Visual Novel, even though it got P5-d, it'd still be confusing.

I don't see a need for a disambig if we can't trope the VN.

Also, Kichiku Megane is going to be a fanspeak page anyways as per the Bastard Boyfriend TRS thread

It's still a work name, though? If it never had a page, then I'd be fine with not disambig, but it made its mark on the wiki.

But okay. I'm more focused on TLP Discards anyway for now.

Due to The One Guy soon to likely become a Outnumbered Sibling target due to TRS...

Any other targets for That One Guy, which currently goes to That One Player? Other than The One Guy?

Abandoning:

Match Game: Currently a Series. Could also mean Match-Three Game?

Matching Game is the broader concept, but that's not the same thing as Match Game.

Is "Oubliette", an alternate name for Sealed Room in the Middle of Nowhere? Because it's currently a Thrown Down a Well redirect.

I was thinking of turning "Oubliette" into a disambig, but not if it's not sensible...

Manhunt is the last redlink I have that makes sense as a redirect, but I don't have a singular trope for it to point to. Is Big Trope Hunting good enough? I'm not sure about I Will Find You as a target.

... That's a puzzling redirect. And why has it two dozen wicks and 470 inbounds...

It was previously a trope, 11 years ago?

Anyone against turning the <60 inbound Psycho Soldier into a disambig between the Video Game/ and Sociopathic Soldier?

Vanity and Vain still haven't been resolved, IIRC. If anyone wants to change them, go ahead. I'm just unsure on what the targets should be.

Just changed Inugami to a disambig, wondering if we should do some process to turn it into a Trope, as Youkai has a whole section on them.

A couple of months ago, TRS turned Society Marches On to Future Society, Present Values. After just a short period of time, there are already 24 wicks from the zero after the thread closed, which is absurd. Should I go ahead and turn Society Marches On from a redirect to a disambiguation page to cover a lot of the misuse?

Disambig between what? Otherwise yes, 4500+ inbounds. Mmm.

Here's the list I made that can be used for the page:

• Dated History: Changes in how our past is understood makes some older works inaccurate.
• Failed Future Forecast: A work set in the future makes a prediction that fails to come true.
• Fair for Its Day: Something that might come across as obvious or even offensive today was considered progressive in its time.
• Future Society, Present Values: A work set in the future has societal norms and values that are identical to when the work was written.
• Seinfeld Is Unfunny: A work that was seen as innovative and fresh is now seen as quaint because of its immense influence.
• Unintentional Period Piece: An Audience Reaction in which a work has so many cultural trademarks of its era that it comes across as a deliberate exaggeration to modern viewers.
• Values Dissonance: An element of a work is viewed as normal in one culture/time period, but is considered questionable in another culture/time period.
• Zeerust: Science-fiction aesthetics that were viewed as futuristic upon release end up dating the work to its era.

Film.Sherlock Holmes redirects to Sherlock Holmes (2009), but there is also another movie with that title, Sherlock Holmes (1932). Should the redirect apply to the franchise instead, or is it worth making a disambiguation page?
