All The Tropes Wiki Project

[Morganite]

I just don't feel like redirects are that great a solution. You're still going to have every page showing the trope as one or the other, and you'll still get confusion in the end.

There is something that occurred to me that, if technically feasible, that might help. There's various ways to have some text appear when hovering over a link. How about using that to have a short-short description of a trope appear when hovering over one? (One would, of course, want the server to not be making a database pull for every link in a page, but I'm sure there's some way to handle that gracefully. And it's also probably a good idea to have this editable from the same place as editing a page.)

And for index pages, assuming you're going to have something that automatically generates them (which I think is a good idea), have them inserted next to the trope names. Which would make life easier for people in situations like "I know it's a magic trope... *looks at list* ... This could take a while."

Possibly also some other things this could come in handy for, but it depends on some other things.

And there is a question I've got - should tropes stay in the top level (or something that acts like it), or should they get a "Tropes" namespace?
