Changing Main redirects into Disambigs....

Main.SOS currently links to the video game of the same name. I have tried writing up a disambig page. Does it look good enough, and is there anything else I should add?

Added.

Maybe Alarm SOS as well. Still, this is a good disambig idea.

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

I would have SOS bolded instead of italicized. Otherwise, looks good.

Things for Bound? We've got a Fanfic, Film, and Video Game.

Weirdly, the Ambiguity Index is pointing to the Fanfic, which only has one target...

---

Also, Ouroboros needs to be a fusion trope page and disambig... Because it already has multiple works, and VideoGame.Ouroboros RPG exists...

- Thanks!

Fanfic.Bound was a disambig page that only had one target, so I turned it into a redirect.

Poetic Justice redirects to Laser-Guided Karma.

There's also Film.Poetic Justice. Anything else?

No comment so probably gonna do that tomorrow.

...

Vampire is going to Vampire Tropes.

Anyone against making that a disambig to that and Our Vampires Are Different?

Give me until this weekend to fix the wicks and I'll try to add vampire to the Cut List. There's no history or discussion page, so I don't think this is the result of a page move within the past decade. It doesn't improve searchability and we don't have any works named "Vampire", so I don't see a reason for it to be a Blue Link.

- Well, that got rejected. Not sure why. No info in the Discussion page.

...

Same thing for Main.Villain, but that's got a Fanfic and Film, plus it wasn't dewicked first.

Gonna dewick that today. Anything else called "Villain" to target as a disambig?

How to interact with fellow Disambig, The Villain?

Well, this is annoying. I'm not sure if Akunin ever got an English release...

That was me as I don't see why this can't stay a redirect to Our Vampires Are Different and Villains.

Oh, Villains was a mistake. Autocorrect from a new phone that doesn't know my word habits. Vampire is a redirect to Vampire Tropes that was predominantly used as Our Vampires Are Different, so did you mean we should change where it points to?

Yes, seems like a better solution than a plain cut.

Just sent the Mystery Island and The Mysterious Island to the Cutlist.

So... There's Literature.The Mysterious Island, its film adaptation Film.Mysterious Island, and the trope, Main.Island Of Mystery...

Should those have a Disambig, if so, which Main?

Was there any existing misuse? If not, then I don't think they're getting confused for one another and wouldn't need a disambiguation because the names are different enough.

How about Dual Wielding redirects, Multi Wield and Multi Wielding.

They sounds more like Multi-Armed and Dangerous, which even wicks to Multi Wielding in its description. What its precise relation is to Dual Wielding, I dunno.

I think they'd make good disambigs...?

The linking to redirect should probably be replaced with Multi-Armed and Dangerous, but the two are very distinct concepts and the redirects are appropriate where they are. As I understand it, MAAD applies for anyone with "extra" limbs, even when they only have one weapon. The Zoro character of One Piece is an example of a two-armed person who is multi-wielding (he uses three swords).

Intersex currently redirects to Hermaphrodite, which is biologically inaccurate when used to describe real-life humans, and many intersex people find it offensive. A TLP for "Intersex" was created to split off examples of (more or less) realistic depictions of intersex people from Hermaphrodite, but due to concerns over whether a character being intersex is tropeworthy on its own, it was retooled into Intersex Tribulations. Should Intersex be a disambiguation between Intersex Tribulations, Wrong Genetic Sex, and Hermaphrodite?

Well. A wick check would be good. It's only 35 wicks. You can even repoint them while doing it as long as you record how it's been misused.

What to do with the wick on Transgender?

In Real Life "intersex" is a term that was coined to describe people born with external genitalia that don't match normal male/female patterns. The scientific community has been moving away from it because it's a catch-all term that can cover various anatomies (hermaphrodite is just a subset thereof, not all forms of "intersex" are also "hermaphrodite") and thus useless for medical purposes.

I think a disambiguation might make sense, but it should perhaps cite Barbie Doll Anatomy as that would be considered "intersex" by the academic definition. OTOH it's usually more of a censorship thing than character development.

By the by: If Intersex Tribulations isn't meant to cover any and all cases of "intersex" anatomy it needs some rewriting.

UFO is currently a cut page that autodisambigs to Series.UFO. Given that this is an extremely common term for Flying Saucer (better known than the series), I think the page should either redirect to Flying Saucer or be a disambig for the trope and the series.

"It's just a show; I should really just relax"

Absolutely agreed with the UFO disambig idea. There's also Music.UFO.

Ugh. We really should send the previous two to Locked Pages Edits. I'll do that after posting this:

Dead From The Start... Currently going to Posthumous Character. Doesn't it also sound like Starts with Their Funeral?

And then it sorta sounds like Undead Protagonist or something too?

Okay, this is actually also the name of a work.

Extra Life is a 1-Up redirect, but Fanfic.Extra Life exists... Along with all its subpages...

Anything else to target with a Extra Life disambig?

Magic is a redirect to Functional Magic... A bit too specific, no?

Definitely too specific.

I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.
