Umbrella pages

[meg_r]

The discussion about Tropes has raised the problem of how to deal with the multiple pages about consent issues/sexual assault: we've got Rapefic, Noncon and Dub-con, all with somewhat different content. Noncon in particular is defined entirely in relation to rapefic and dubcon, and all the history of the trope is on the rapefic page. I feel that none of the pages can be comprehensive when the content is spread out this way.

My preference would be to merge the pages into one [[Sexual Assault (Trope)]] or [[Consent Issues in Fanworks]] page or the like and redirect, but I suspect that will prove an Unpopular Fannish Opinion. Alternatively, how about an umbrella page with the main content, so that the terms can be usefully compared, leaving the three pages as brief glossary terms that link to the umbrella page?

Other suggestions?

I like "Consent Issues in Fanworks" or "Issues of Consent in Fanworks" as a fourth page to discuss, compare, and contrast the other terms. I don't think we should lose the individual glossary pages, but it makes sense to keep the majority of the discussion about the relationships between the terms in one place.

Incidentally, "Unpopular Fannish Opinion" does not yet have an entry in Fanlore. :)

Does too ;P.

I agree. I'd like "Consent Issues" best as a page for discussing them together and keeping the others as glossary pages.

That works for me. They definitely need to be glossable.

I like that word, glossable. That's a useful expression for me in this discussion--thank you!!
