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?

Yeah, having just looked at that h/c page?--what is the downside to having the info on both pages? What god would strike us down if, in addition to that h/c page staying just the same, the word whump was *ALSO* wikilinked, the basic definition taken, and people started expanding over there too! I'm personally pro-redundancy--I don't care if the same info is repeated multiple places, especially at the start, because my thought is that each page, though similar to start, will grow as fandom grows. My 2c, YMMV!
