* If [[We Will Not Use Photoshop in the Future]], the implication isn't that we've given up Adobe products in favor of free software alternatives such as GIMP.
* A [[Weapon of Mass Destruction]] is not a fat-burner or a weapon used by terrorists to attack Catholic Masses. But some of them do create energy by destroying mass.
* [[Weapons Kitchen Sink]] is not about [[Improbable Weapon User|using things found in a kitchen sink as weapons]], nor is it a sink where you wash your weapons after battle.▼
* [["Weird Al" Effect]] is not an Artificial Intelligence machine malfunctioning. It's Weird A'''L''', not Weird A'''i'''.
* [[Welcome Back, Traitor]] isn't a little-known ''Welcome Back Kotter'' spinoff where Mr. Kotter returns to his job as a New York teacher after briefly defecting to the Soviet Union.
* [[Welcome to Corneria]] is not what [[Star Fox (series)|Fox McCloud]] giving you welcome. Or what he says [[Independence Day|after taking down your ship]].
Line 106 ⟶ 113:

** It is also not about one of [[The Casanova]]'s lovers giving him a [[What the Hell, Hero?]].
▲* [[Weapons Kitchen Sink]] is not about [[Improbable Weapon User|using things found in a kitchen sink as weapons]], nor is it a sink where you wash your weapons after battle.
* [[Wheel-O-Feet]] is not about the [http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w107/amadeuswindfall/mauler.jpg Roving Mauler] from ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]''.

Line 125 ⟶ 132:
