Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.

I don't think disambigs should be linked on epitaph pages. It defeats the purpose and they aren't supposed to be linked anywhere but archives and the Ambiguity index
Macron's notes
^I agree.
Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.
Alright, thanks.
What about in the Disambig folder in the main Trope Epitaph page?
"Rarity, are you okay? We gotta get you and your friends outta here soon!"
^Right. To be clear, I actually think removing links to disambigs on the Trope Epitaph makes sense, but I know many are already linked there currently.
So should the Wiki Word links be converted into plain text and a note added to the page to not directly link to disambigs?

That sounds fine to me.
Macron's notes
This idea won’t be popular, but I’ve wondered if it’s a good idea to link the TRS threads/other threads where tropes were cut or changed in the attached notes.
The answer is probably yes, there would be objections, but would anyone object to someone doing that?

^for each entry on the trope epitaph page? I don't see why that'd be an issue, tbh. Split Tropes has a link to the relevant TRS thread placed at the end of each entry there
actually related question. indices like Split Tropes and Renamed Tropes also have disambig links on their pages. Should those be switched to plain text as well?

I think it might be fine since they are Administrivia as opposed to JFF pages like the trope epitaph pages.
Macron's notes
^^ Good to know. Maybe someday if I have a lot of time and energy I don't currently have I'll start attaching TRS threads to the Epitaph entries.

So this discussion came up while doing wick clean-up for Overprotective Dad, but if a trope is disambiguated and renamed, should the disambiguation pages be wicked on the trope epitaph pages? Or should all renamed tropes have its CamelCase removed?
