|| '''2500+''' (unaffected by age) || '''[[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome The truly awesome]]''' || Stand back and stare in fear and/or awe. || The [[OverdosedTropes really popular tropes]] as well as [[JustForFun/TropeOverdosed super-popular works]] like ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'', ''Series/DoctorWho'', ''Franchise/MassEffect'', and ''{{Literature/Discworld}}''. ||

|| '''57-282''' (15-70 if newly made, 29-141 if 1-3 years old) || '''Healthy''' || None, just let it grow naturally. || A good {{Series}} entry will have this many references around the wiki. ||

|| '''0-23''' (0-11 if newly made or 1-3 years old) || '''Starvation''' || Complete Administrivia/{{Crosswicking}} if it hasn't been done yet. See if the {{trope}} needs expansion. Link it to related tropes and series that give examples. May require [[Administrivia/LumperVsSplitter lumping]] with similar tropes. If this is a newborn trope, ask on the [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13544789560A75740100 TLP Crash Rescue thread]] for it to be unlaunched. If it's been around for four years or more, further investigation into why it's failing to thrive is in order. Start a Administrivia/TropeRepairShop thread under "Not Thriving". If it can't reach the standard in either condition, add it to Administrivia/PagesNeedingWicks (exception: indexes). || A lot of administrative and policy pages like this one have very few wicks. They are something of an exception as they are either referenced within discussions or specifically sought out by people looking through the indexes. Some tropes are also unpopular not because they're Administrivia/TooRareToTrope but due to a lack of work pages with them, often due to being AdvertisingTropes, FanficTropes, or {{Forgotten Trope}}s, in which case you probably don't need to concern yourself with them. ||
|| '''24-56''' (12-14 if newly made, 12-28 if 1-3 years old) || '''Standing''' || Further refining and linking. Try to avoid letting [[Administrivia/LumperVsSplitter splitters]] have their way this early. || This is the minimum level for a healthy trope. ||

|| '''283-999''' (71-999 if newly made, 142-999 if 1-3 years old) || '''Renowned''' || No action needed, though discussion may deem a split necessary -- renaming a trope in this range should be done only on good evidence that there is misuse or confusion (this means bad wicks -- wicks that are incorrect. Like links to {{heroes}} if ''Series/{{Heroes}}'' is meant.) (The Funny, Heartwarming, and Awesome Moments don't count.) Enough work has gone into it and it has too much name recognition (perhaps even outside the wiki) to screw around with it. || One of the better-known tropes or works on the wiki. Expect a lot of discussion and effort to have gone into the page, and people will be watching it like a hawk. ||

|| '''0-23''' (0-11 if newly made or 1-3 years old) || '''Starvation''' || See if the {{trope}} needs expansion. Link it to related tropes and series that give examples.

* '''On a nonexistent page:''' Go to the [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=gsjp7dldjh2dwdelcha2hu17 Locked Pages]] thread and make a request to recreate and cut (re-delete) the page. A [[Administrivia/KnowTheStaff moderator]] there will take care of it. This bypasses the usual CutList process--recreating and cut listing the page yourself also works but takes more steps. The thread is also the way to recreate and cut pages in the Main Administrivia/{{namespace}}, since pages there (i.e. tropes) cannot freely be created.[[note]]Unfortunately, some nonexistent pages with invalid characters cannot be handled even by moderators. These will have to be left alone.[[/note]]

The number of pages that internally link to a page, as seen on its "related to..." button. These are the lifeblood of our trope articles--they place an article within the {{troper}} hivemind's awareness, channeling the [[Administrivia/TVTropesGlossary Wiki Magic]] in its way.
