This trope can easily be merged with that one.

Let me cut the wire.
Oops, Wrong Wire.
I meant to have the wire be connected to the port that says "Merge."
Kirby is awesome.
Am I a weirdo?
Merge. Obviously I can't say cut, because that would blow up in my face.
Bigotry will NEVER be welcome on TV Tropes.

Merge.
Also, shouldn't the wick check show us the examples themselves so we can see them and judge for ourselves too?

I usually do that, but I felt the usage was so straightforward in this case (every one of the 51 wicks that isn't in an index or sandbox goes like "character is an a Wire Dilemma, character cuts the wrong wire, causing bad things to happen") that I opted not to this time.

I think that's 15 unanimous votes for merge. Can the 3 day waiting period be waived in this sitch?
