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.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
You can edit Mort by opening and edit page and altering the name to webcomic and more in the relevant section which then shows the redirect code. like so
The redirect however is not auto-generated and has been deliberately put there so people who only know the webcomic by the old name can find it.
eta: of course even after you got rid of the redirect the page would still be there you have to add it to cutlist to get rid of it completely. But again I don't think it being there is a mistake.
It's not a problem. It means there are works with the same name in Literature/ and Webcomic/ namespaces, having a navigation link doesn't imply these related.
If it's an issue, the solution is to move Mort and Mort to different names (by release year).
Also your links have < and > for no reason which turns them invalid.

Thanks for the information. My links do deliberately have angled brackets around them for compatibility; they allow some software to recognize UR Ls even when broken across lines, and to place URL-allowed characters immediately before and after a URL. RFC 1738 (by Tim Berners-Lee) noted that angle-brackets are not part of UR Ls, meaning any software capable of recognizing UR Ls should be able to parse these non-URL characters as UR Ls delimiters. There are also several examples of UR Ls in that document which are delineated by angle brackets.
While it's not a technical specification, even the W 3 C recommends it: https://www.w3.org/Addressing/URL/5.1_Wrappers.html (non-delimited URL to get around the issue of improperly-recognized UR Ls).
Basically, angle-brackets-around-UR Ls has been a defacto standard since the invention of UR Ls 30 years ago; software which can't auto-split UR Ls from angle brackets might need an update.
EDIT: Ah, apparently it's an issue with comments in some Markdown parsers. Including, apparently, the one TV Tropes uses. Tch.
DOUBLE EDIT: No, I have no idea why extra spaces are being inserted into initialisms.

Seeing as TV Tropes doesn't use Markdown, you may wish to read Text-Formatting Rules.
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.
TV Tropes uses own wiki format language. That's an interesting lecture, but the site (Even Wikipedia and FANDOM as well, actually, and also media apps like Discord), don't use whatever this W3C thing is about, so I can't really say it's been a respected standard for 30 years.

The page <https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Literature/Mort>
has a "Webcomic" link at the top which points to the Webcomic entry <https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Webcomic/PvP?from=Webcomic.Mort>
for the work "Pv P", which (at one time) was published under the name "Mort".
I presume the link on the first work was auto-generated because there was a "Mort" webcomic, technically, even it was an alias for an unrelated work, but it shouldn't be appearing on the first work's page. I've looked at the FAQ regarding redirections, but it's not exactly clear how to go about editing them (given that editing the first work's main page doesn't have a section for those types of redirects). The TV Tropes FAQ (<https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FAQ>)
does mention editing redirects, but the instructions say to use the "title of the redirect" - what is this, exactly, and where can it be found, for the redirect buttons like "Webcomic"? Trying out <https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/wysiwyg_source_editor.php?groupname=Webcomic&title=Mort&load=source>
doesn't allow me to kill the link from <https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Literature/Mort>
, and neither does <https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/wysiwyg_source_editor.php?groupname=Literature&title=Mort&load=source>
.
Would this be a disambiguation? In which case, what's the best way to go about it?
