Trickster God is redirecting to Great Gazoo, while Stock Gods calls them separate-ish...

Trickster God for disambig between some things that I dunno?

I think just changing the redirect to The Trickster will probably be good enough. Not sure why that redirect was made/approved for Gazoo.

It was made before History was a thing, and Great Gazoo's second paragraph starts:

This character is typically based on The Trickster (i.e. one of many "gods of mischief" from mythology, from Loki to Coyote to Puck).


Also, finally de-wicked Trickster.

Planning to make it disambig between The Trickster, Anime/, and VideoGame.Trickster Online.

Anything else?


Pull Yourself Together: Disambig between Pulling Themselves Together, and Get A Hold Of Yourself Man?


Recap: Disambig between Recap.Recap, Recap Episode, what else?

Anything else?

I am planning on making an actual page based on Daxter. It redirects to Jak & Daxter.

Mild concern on the Recap proposition. The cut was declined on the same basis of some Main-to-Administrivia redirect declinations, in that they may be hardcoded in the system, and cutting them would break something.

(In this case, the potential downside isn't breaking, but directing traffic somewhere other than intended.)

Honestly, I don't know for certain, but just letting you know.

So, no comments on anything other than Recap...

Well:

Drive By proposal looks good.

~Autism 97 — The work is well-crosswicked, but the description is incredibly sparse and most of those examples appear to have little-to-zero context. Would you please expand on them for those of us who haven't viewed/played the work?

Feed Me is a redirect to Chewing the Scenery, but the name doesn't fit that well?

What could it disambig into?

Apparently, given it's location on Stock Shout-Outs, it's a reference to Film.The Little Shop Of Horrors?

Music.Woodstock currently redirects to the documentary Film.Woodstock, but maybe UsefulNotes.Woodstock or a disambig would be a better option?

Why should we have Music.Woodstock at all?


Found Sixth Column, the Sixth Ranger Traitor redirect, and also a novel name.

Not sure if this is the right place but I'd like to request the creation of Main.Chimera as a disambig for various tropes and works. I was searching for a chimera page recently and was unable to find anything pointing me to the various related pages on the concept.


Chimera was originally a beast in Greek Mythology that combined elements of a goat, a snake, and a lion. In genetics, it refers to a hybrid of unrelated species. Here on the wiki, the term may refer to the following tropes and works:

You should stick that on Locked Pages request thread.

If you don't, I'll neaten it up for easier creation and post it.

0-wicked Bizarre Foods.

Anyone disagree with making a disambig to Series.Bizarre Foods With Andrew Zimmern, and tropes like Bizarre Taste in Food, Fantastic Fruits and Vegetables?

If you think that's okay, what tropes to disambig between?

If it wasn't for the 700+ inbounds, I'd call for cutting the redirect entirely. I wish those counters would actually get reset every January like they're supposed to.

So, you're recusing yourself? I'm not going to do anything to that without at least one agreement with my position.

With the following, I'll likely instate if no one disagrees.

We could still ask for it to be cut, as a Main redirect to a work, and make a Series version to take over.


Zero Wicked Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving Day.

I guess we should follow the example of Halloween and have Thanksgiving be the disambig.


Also, add Halloween Episode to Halloween? No reason why not?

Music.Woodstock currently redirects to Film.Woodstock, but UsefulNotes.Woodstock is about the actual festival. When I suggested somewhere that the Music/ page should redirect to Useful Notes, another troper told me it should be a disambiguation.

What is Music.Woodstock? Woodstock is a concert, not a band or anything.

So yeah, I'd go with redirect, unless the film is commonly used enough to put them on equal footing with the concert itself as the meaning of Music.Woodstock.


Everyone Dies is currently going to Kill Em All. How about making that a disambig between that, and We All Die Someday?

Rose Haired Girl is now a Disambig. So, for the other one...

Should the disambig be Everybody Dies or Everyone Dies? 'Cause they're both redirects to Kill Em All right now.

''Everyone Dies'' may refer to:

* KillEmAll, for when the entire main cast dies.
* WeAllDieSomeday, for discussions about the inevitability of death.

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