I don't see any reason not to disambiguate between the other tropes you listed, considering most of the examples lack meaning.

disambig
We could pull a UN page for poliosis out of it, since that's a real condition that affects people, even if it's very rare.

I'm not sure if that would be very helpful though, UN pages are meant to be related to media, and I doubt most or even any of these examples have to do with that particular mutation.
I'm good with a disambig.

I'm fine with disambiging, Duality Motif (though not even) and Locked into Strangeness pretty much already cover any cases I can think of.

So I am guessing that if this is turned into a disambig, then the original medieval definition of the trope (person is a witch/supernatural) would be covered by Red Right Hand and/or Meaningful Appearance, or would that be worth yarding (or do we already have a signs of the witch trope)?

X5 I agree there. That is more tropeworthy than what we currently have.

x6: I agree. Most of the examples that I've seen of this trope is as an indicator that a character has gotten older in a dignified way.

Perhaps call it Gray Hair Streak Of Dignity? And the character who sports it is often a Silver Fox.

Since it's been three days, I hooked a crowner.

That meaning is already covered by Mark of the Supernatural, though.

If there's enough examples of a Skunk Stripe being a a witch symbol we can give it its own trope but yeah it's covered by Mark of the Supernatural for the time being.

Calling crowner in favor of "Disambiguate Skunk Stripe between Locked into Strangeness, Mark of the Supernatural, Disease Bleach, Red Right Hand, Duality Motif, Non Conformist Dyed Hair, and Meaningful Appearance (and possibly more tropes)."

So, I was going to crosswick just to find that this trope is now a disambig. I believe the process now is to change the existing wicks into other (sub)tropes where possible? I could help with a few wicks from related works (and maybe a few more if I have time) but I'd appreciate feedback as to which trope would fit.
No explicit reason is given behind BoBoiBoy's white hair streak, but the prequel series Mechamato (currently crosswicking to make its page) shows that Amato, BoBoiBoy's father, and BBB's grandfather (in his younger days) also each have a white hair streak. A reference of the three for convenience.
Would this be Strong Family Resemblance or Hereditary Hairstyle? Thanks.

Actually, Hair Color Spoiler could work. BBB's dad never appeared in BoBoiBoy before its 2nd movie in The Stinger, and the hair (plus some photos and the conversation) hints that he's his father before officials confirmed it to be the case. Amato being BBB's dad is a Late-Arrival Spoiler. So I'd say that checks out. Thanks for the help .

Not sure. It's poliosis, which is hereditary, but that trope is for style rather than color. Could be Hair Color Spoiler, depending on how it's treated in the work.
I wouldn't say it's Strong Family Resemblance either, as other than just having a white strip of hair, they don't look extremely alike.

I've sometimes seen a Skunk Stripe be used to show that a character has aged, usually gracefully (a couple of the characters at the end of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic comes to mind). What would that fall under?
the Retromancer
There's also First Gray Hair when someone sees that their hair is turning grey and starts freaking out over getting old.
Crown Description:
Skunk Stripe's definition ("a character has a light streak in their hair") might not be tropable on its own and any connotations it does have may be covered by other tropes.
So, Skunk Stripe used to be the subtrope of Multicolored Hair before the latter got turned into a disambiguation. The trope itself is just "A character has a lighter section/stripe of hair on their head" so that's all of the context that most of the wicks I checked had. I think all of the possible meanings behind Skunk Stripe are covered by Locked into Strangeness, Disease Bleach, Red Right Hand, Duality Motif, Non Conformist Dyed Hair, and Meaningful Appearance (and possibly more tropes).
I did the wick check with some help from WarJay at Skunk Stripe Wick Check.
