I think the last two glossary terms ought to be merged. Those arenot really different meanings, just because one is on ff.net the other in fanzines.--RatCreature 18:44, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

I agree. Also, I don't think its a ff.net specific term at all, I've seen people use it all over. --MegR 18:52, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
I found the most recent one because I just couldn't imagine no-one had made a page for it. Merging would be a fine idea, but I think we want the two words since prober usage seems to be two words or hyphenated.--facetofcathy 19:09, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
One Shot (glossary term) ? --MegR 19:16, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
Don't see why not, with redirects from the oneshot, one-shot and the diambig to link to the zine and to it. I don't know how that's done to preserve history though, is that a gardener thing?--facetofcathy 19:26, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
I think Oneshot will have to be moved to One Shot (glossary term), as it has quite a lengthy talk page which I guess should be preserved. So yeah, I'll add a att.gardeners to it. One-Shot (glossary term) can just be redirected as there's not anything there.--MegR 19:33, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
There is also still the issue of whether or not to just merge the glossary term meaning with standalone, which was discussed on the other talk page.--RatCreature 19:35, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
So could we put all the definitions, stories, zines, comic books on Standalone and have the dsambig and the redirects go to the second heading on the standalone page (what happens if someone erases that heading though?)--facetofcathy 19:43, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
If the heading is not there the link would leave you at the standalone page at the top, which wouldn't be especially confusing, IMO.--RatCreature 19:49, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
I'm for this merging into standalone, especially since some fans also use "one-off" or "one off" (and I've even heard "one-of" from time to time) for the same concept.--Arduinna 19:56, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
