Adding an example of an unclear/redundant "genre".

Added DiffLines:

* {{Utsuge}}: A supposed genre of depressing games, but it's restricted mainly to {{Visual Novel}}s and it's mixed up with the related term Nakige, which can have more optimistic elements. On-page examples either don't explain why are the works depressing or tell the sad elements, which might be redundant to TearJerker. Possible merge to MediaNotes.VisualNovelFanspeak. *
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Discussed here; there's no evidence of misuse and the ban evader part has been deemed a non-issue.


* MandelaEffect: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13543987200A54420100&page=883#comment-22053 Noted]] as attracting nitpicking misuse, along with being poorly-defined and being launched by a serial ban evader. Check 50 wicks. *
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Both have had a TRS decision to merge into Repeated For Emphasis.


* OneLinerNameOneLiner and DoubleDontKnow: Both of these are Administrivia/TheSameButMoreSpecific to RepeatedForEmphasis, the specifics being that the former includes a person's name between the repeated phrase, and the latter has "I don't know" as the repeated phrase.

Added DiffLines:

* DevilInPlainSight: Is basically ObviousJudas [[Administrivia/TheSameButMoreSpecific but acknowledged in-universe]], and additionally has misuse and [=ZCEs=]. *

None

Added DiffLines:

* UngratefulBastard: The title, taken at face value, means the character is ungrateful and therefore a bastard for it, but it appears the actual definition is broader than that and could possibly be used for cases where the character isn't a "bastard" (e.g. they have a valid reason, so calling them one probably isn't very fair). *
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
None

Added DiffLines:

* EvilRedhead: While there are specific negative traits associated with red hair in media, in practice the page is another case of "attribute + another attribute = trope," with examples having little correlation with the actual superstitions and stereotypes associated with red hair. [[Sandbox/EvilRedheadWickCheck Wick check here]].

* SpinOffCookbook: A tie-in book to a work with recipes to the food the appeared in it is usually a form of ContinuityPorn, which is objective. The description also mentions that the cookbook is often in-universe; even examples of books that aren't are usually written by work's food stylist, who would be a TechnicalAdvisor. Mere spin-off cookbooks' existence a la LiveOnStage isn't exactly noteworthy for these reasons, so it's likely worth redefining. *

Moving this to misc, since looking back the core concept seems very much Trivia


* PropRecycling: Unlike RecycledSet (involving behind-the-scenes budget restraints), the concept of an initially work-specific single prop becoming more widely used is often a {{homage}} to the previous work, and many on-page examples call this out in-universe anyway. Even when budget restraints necessitate redecorating of the prop, it's in an ''interactive'' sense with the audience/characters: cameos and WholeCostumeReference respectively. Toys and Advertising are obvious exceptions, which likely ''is'' a genuine Trivia concept, but it would need to be split.

* BeneathTheEarth: It's supposed to be about cities or societies underneath the earth. Predictably, it gets mistaken for just about anything living underneath the earth, such as big monsters (which is not helped by the image). Has a wick check [[Sandbox/BeneathTheEarthWickCheck here]].
