Talk:Bed Sharing

So I wanted to link to bed sharing as a trope and discovered that there are two separate pages, one for shippy works and one for gen works. I created this disambiguation page for the moment, but might it make more sense to combine the two pages under the general title "Bed Sharing" and simply have separate sections for how it works in shippy fanworks versus gen fanworks? --PhoenixFalls (talk) 06:15, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

I heartily agree. Combining is a good idea. --MPH (talk) 13:23, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

Combining makes sense to me and will make linking to this trope much easier and more obvious. (Also I think bedsharing is common in gen, slash AND het, isn't? So it's not really a gen trope or slash trope, just a trope?)--Fantomas (talk) 15:16, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

Cool. How does one go about combining pages? Is there a script set up to do it, or do I have to manually move the info over and then turn the previous pages into redirects? --PhoenixFalls (talk) 19:27, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

It's that last one. The redirect becomes the actual page, the info from the two other ones get cut and pasted into the new page in a logical way, and then their old pages become redirects. --MPH (talk) 19:38, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

This new page is much better! Thank you for working on it, PhoenixFalls. --MPH (talk) 02:38, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

For Later

• This is a very long tumblr thread about different interpretations of the trope, including GIFs and a story by Diane Duane. Not sure where to put it on the page yet but I wanted to save it here. archive link Error cascade (talk) 00:40, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
