Wrong order of crowners; I've attached a rename crowner.

I think I've gotten rid of every instance of misuse of Trying To Catch Me Fighting Dirty, with the exception of locked pages and Just for Fun pages such as Unpublished Works and Trope Pantheons.

There also seems to be a good consensus that we should go ahead with the rename. Should we hook the crowner I originally made?

I say so.

[up]Yeah, probably. It's been up since January and is heavily in favor of a rename.

Edit: Went ahead and hollered your post so a mod can look into it.

Yep, safe to call. Time to think about possible new names.

The OP suggested Dirty Fighting Index, which is a good start.

This Index Fights Dirty and Dirty Fighter's Handbook were previously suggested.

Should we reattach the old crowner?

[up]I hollered for that one to be hooked, since it's already been created and has made significant progress.

Edit: I accidentally added a duplicate Dirty Fighter's Handbook entry because only This Index Fights Dirty and Dirty Fighting Index were displaying on the crowner. After I added it, a previous Dirty Fighter's Handbook entry (which has a backslash before the apostrophe) appeared below it. I'm assuming a bug caused this (since a bug already caused the backslash to appear), so could a mod please remove the duplicate entry I added, and remove the backslash from the previous entry?

Another edit: I checked the crowner again and the original Dirty Fighter's Handbook entry (with the backslash) is gone again. This is actually kind of puzzling.

Update: I noticed that the page hides options with lower scores unless an option to make them visible is clicked, and that option did indeed have a lower score. That's what I get for posting at an odd hour. I modified the accidental duplicate until a mod can remove it, and at least tried to remove the backslash from the original entry.

The alt titles crowner is re-hooked.

It's been a pretty long time, and This Index Fights Dirty seems to be winning (although Dirty Fighting Index has a better overall ratio).

Should the page be moved to its new name, or should we wait for a clearer consensus?

No action until the mods have ended the crowner (they can fluctuate). Here in T Rs, we go by the better ratio.

Is this safe to call? The crowner was made in December, and currently This Index Fights Dirty has more votes, while Dirty Fighting Index has a better ratio.

The former's ratio is 4.50:1, while the latter's ratio is 6.00:1. Of the two, the latter ratio has gone up more significantly since last month.

Calling in favor of This Index Fights Dirty.

I'll go ahead and move the contents over to the new name, then we can proceed.

The crowner is still open.

Should we also have a redirect from Dirty Fighting Index, given its popularity in the crowner?

I changed the page type of the new location to Index and made the old location a redirect.

Edit: Posted a notice on the old discussion page.

Whoops! Closed it now.

As for the redirect, I'll see about it.

[up][up][up] I don't see what the point of a redirect to an index could possibly be, given how it shouldn't really be linked to in the first place.

Down to ten wicks. One's on an archived page, one's a ghost wick (and might be glitched due to the underscore in the title), and the rest are on locked pages, so mod assistance is needed (aside from the first, since it's supposed to stay as-is).

Edit: I forgot to remove the indexing from the old location when originally making the redirect. That should be fixed now.

Edit: I posted a Locked Pages thread request.

Edit: There's still the issue of whether indexes can have Quotes and Laconic pages. I moved Quotes.Trying To Catch Me Fighting Dirty and Laconic.Trying To Catch Me Fighting Dirty to Quotes.This Index Fights Dirty and Laconic.This Index Fights Dirty, respectively, but should they be cutlisted instead?

The ones under the old name can be cutlisted, definitely.

Since I am a mod, I can see about the locked pages.

Edit: And done. Time to cut the old page and close.
