^ - So, Magic should probably be targetting Functional Magic, Magic and Powers, Mana, Magicka?, Magick... And Film.

''Magic'' may refer to:

* FunctionalMagic.
* MagicAndPowers.
* The film, ''Film/{{Magic}}''.
* {{Mana}}.
* {{Magicka}}.
* {{Magick}}.

[up] - Nods. Will make in a few hours. Can't do Magic... It's at 44 wicks...


Should Wanted target to "Wanted!" Poster? If so, anything else?


Savior:

''Savior'' may refer to:

* The film, ''Film/{{Savior}}''.
* The MessianicArchetype trope, for a savior who endures great sacrifices, up to and including death, to help others. Alternatively, a good or heroic character modeled after Jesus Christ.

None Shall Pass... Currently a You Shall Not Pass! redirect. Point to Hold the Line too? As that's sorta You Shall Not Pass! but Video Game Quest?

I'd prefer another work/trope to link to for Savior. Without that, I think it can be cut and the links you came up with could go on the two pages instead. But if you really want it to be a disambiguation page, then the descriptions are fine.


None Shall Pass: Those two options look right, try Stand Your Ground as well.

That One Guy is currently a That One Player redirect, due to having been moved there in 2011, but I've checked out ~4 of its previously 42 wicks, and they were all The One Guy?

Retarget to The One Guy, or disambig?

I'd say it can be disambiguated. There are tropes like Just One Man, Two Girls and a Guy, Only Sane Man, and One of the Girls, but I'll let you decide which one you want to add.

[up] - Thanks! ... So, anyone else wanna chime in? I'm not changing redirects until they're cleaned, and I don't have the time for that right this moment...


Erased From Existence is a redirect to Unperson, and even that page says Ret-Gone makes sense to disambig to.

Anything else?

Should Mind Control be disambig between Mind Manipulation and Brainwashed?

Or redirected?

Because Brainwashed is Mind Under Someone Else's Control.

While Mind Manipulation is just Mind Changed.

No, Brainwashed is a subtrope to Mind Manipulation. Since Mind Control could apply to either one, it works fine as a redirect to the Super-Trope. If there was some other trope that wasn't part of Mind Manipulation, then we'd have to be concerned about disambiguation.

I prefer listing tropes alphabetical first and works chronological, because this site is tropes first (Main/ is the namespace for tropes, afterall) and works with the same name are more likely to be remakes than if they have different names, so oldest ones listed before newer ones.

But we don't have a policy on that, so it isn't a big deal what order we put them in.

[up] - Cool. Adding.


Cleaning out the dewicked redirects. Thoughts on this?

Romantic Hero:

''Romantic Hero'' may refer to:

* The concept from ''Literature/TheCompleteWritersGuideToHeroesAndHeroines''.
* Someone under TheDulcineaEffect, fighting to the death for someone they just met and fell in love with.
* A hero in the style of those of {{Chivalric Romance}}s.

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

All Of The Above is a Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs redirect.

We have the All of Them trope and its "How Many?" "All Of Them" redirect.

Should All Of The Above target both Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs and All of Them? And anything else?


Myth has 2 works and is redirecting to Mythology...

On the subject of Trespasser and All Of The Above, I'd prefer to cut both redirects.

I'd prefer to cut the Myth redirect as well, except we use the name for our namespace instead of Mythology/. So changing Main.Myth into a disambiguation page makes sense to me.

#224: Jan 24th 2021 at 8:54:24 PM

There are no works just called Trespasser, so I'm fine with that. I suppose Trespass is different enough not to overlap?

And All Of The Above only has 89 inbounds and no wicks, so go ahead, I'm not against it, at least.

I had considered the -er suffix for one-word disambiguations, especially the verb-to-noun examples, but decided that it was a lot more work than was needed without reasonable evidence that people were linking to the wrong pages. Trespass & Trespasser falls into that classification. I've added those redirects to the Cut List.
