[up] - Well, you've got a Sandbox.Kids Play Matchmaker running, so change the description there and get approval enough to replace it, then I'll fix the wicks.

But if you wanna take the lead and fix the wicks now, I won't revert.


For Whole-Plot Reference, you could spawn a KidsPlayMatchmaker.Parent Trap Plot to hold those examples and take the wick. Even though there might not be enough examples to warrant it usually, this is a unique case?

Edited Sandbox.Kids Play Matchmaker to reflect expanded definition.

Also cleared out more wicks from Parent Trap Plot- the only remaining are the three trope/index pages that really only relate to the 'Parent Trap' Plot subtrope.

Re creating a subpage for the purpose of indexing: interesting idea that would solve the problem, but seems like it might be confusing/unkosher. I would like to get more input before implementing something like that. Another possibility is putting Kids Play Matchmaker on the two indices, but adding notes on both the trope and index pages saying that this only applies to 'Parent Trap' Plot.

Updated sandbox looks good to me.

Can I go ahead and make the changes?

Another possibility re Whole-Plot Reference is to remove the trope from the index, but keep it on the non-indexed part of the page.

Parent Trap Plot is down to 0 wicks. I made the changes suggested in my previous posts, but holding off on the redirect. Any objections?

I'm fine with making it a redirect.

Got a request to move the discussion page from Parent Trap Plot to Kids Play Matchmaker but since Parent Trap Plot still exists, I need a status update.

Status Update: Kids Play Matchmaker is up and running, with slightly broadened definition as discussed.

Parent Trap Plot is down to 0 wicks and the plan is to make it a redirect to Kids Play Matchmaker. I wanted to get the discussion pages moved first as per How to Move a Page, thus the holler. Once that gets done I'll make the redirect and we should be finished here.

Suggested laconic for Kids Play Matchmaker: "A plotline in which children set up a parental figure with a love interest"

Laconic sounds like it fits.

Holding off on the final resolution of this until redirects get fixed (were broken in the 1.8 update, waiting until all the bugs get resolved).

Went ahead and made the redirect, seems to be working fine note .

Mr. Gorbachev, close down this thread!
