This is a permanent link to the first version of this post. You can view later versions on the post history page.

Okay, you tried to claim a trope that appears in all versions of a franchise's works only appears in one version four times on You Are Number Six/Literature. According to your changes:

Names with numbers are not used in the film version of Logan's Run (even though the text of the example says otherwise).
There are no 00 agents in the James Bond movies.
Edmond Dantès is only called Prisoner 34 in the original Count of Monte Cristo novel and never, ever in any other work based on it.
Similarly, Jean Valjean of Les Misérables doesn't have a prisoner number anywhere but the original book.

These are all Blatant Lies, which you have inserted into a wiki page by mindlessly changing links like an unthinking machine. STOP DOING THIS. We appreciate that you are helping clear up the excess of disambiguation links with which we are plagued, but you can't just sweep in and change everything -- sometimes the disambiguation link is the right link to use. Pay attention to what you're doing! If the change you're about to make will result in an implicitly false or ridiculous claim (For instance, changing a reference to James Bond on the Spy Fiction page to James Bond (novel), which would be functionally equivalent to saying there are no spies in the Bond movies), don't make it. Yes, even in a case like this where the entire page is about a single medium. If your "fix" will turn a true statement into a false one, don't make it. The truth of what we say is more important than getting anal about making the links match the medium the example is listed under.

We don't have to start waving tempbans around to get you to pay attention and not make stupid and misleading edits, do we?

Meanwhile, I have reverted those four changes (although the one you made to Ayn Rand's Anthem stays, for now). And I am continuing to watch all your edits to make sure more falsehoods don't get inserted with good intentions.
