[up][up] Before Mountain posted in the ATT, "cut and move" was in the green, 6-0. After, it became dead even, 10-10. It's not hard to imagine 10 people saw the post, looked at the crowner without reading the thread, and just downvoted all options that said cut.

I voted down on cut and move, not because I want the current page to be kept, but because having a list of bisexual characters doesn't exactly do much, not to mention the useful notes page is rather long. Having a list of media that focuses on bisexuality may work for the useful notes page, if not its own index (if we don't have one yet).

I'm not saying that's not what happened, just that I don't want to keep assuming intent because conversations like this are why we keep restarting the crowner in the first place. I'm saying it's just best to roll with whatever the vote is and not jump to conclusions about why people voted for what so we can start cleanup already.

[up] That's my view as well.

Is this ready to be called? We seem to have stabilized with a pretty clear winner.

[up] Have we already raised awareness of this in ATT?

[up][up]Yes, a few days ago.

Edit: it has been over three days since my ATT announcement and the crowner has rached clear consensus. Now we just need a mod to call it.

Is there any way we can get the vote called?

Okay, for real this time, calling in favor of dewick+disambig.

Concept for the the disambig:

Bi The Way may refer to:

If an internal link has led you here, please correct it to point to the right page.

[down] Ooo yeah, forgot about that part. Added!

[up] Looks good. Maybe we should a note o the effect that if the page was reached via a wick within tvtropes, the wick should be deleted.

On that note, should I announce our decision in ATT, to enlist more help for the dewicking?

I just discovered that Bi The Way has a live action tv example subpage. That shoul dget cutlisted, right?

[up][up][up]I agree with what you said about the disambiguation page. Haven't thought about whether an Ask The Tropers post should be made.

Would anyone object if I turned the page into the disambiguation laid out above?

Alright; so now we have go do the wicks. Remember to move what you can, we don't want to delete good content, only chairs-y content.

[up] Like other bisexuality tropes, if they fit. It's a disambig now, so ideally some of the examples would better belong in other places.

Most actual examples on trope lists aren't salvageable, as they contain no info beyond "they are bisexual". For potholes, if the sentence still makes sense without it I just cut it, if it doesn't I make a pothole to UsefulNotes.Bisexual.

I know most of them need to be cut; I'm just pointing out that if we find ones that can be moved we should salvage them instead of chopping them. That's all.

Crown Description:
