| 14 | * If HollywoodPsych applies, just rename. If DiagnosisOfGod applies, move to Trivia page. If DiagnosedByTheAudience (an AudienceReaction) applies, move to YMMV page. Otherwise, remove entirely. |

| 17 | * Initially, TRS renamed the trope to AuthorityGrantsAsskicking, but since that name was determined to be inaccurate, it was renamed again to RankScalesWithAsskicking. Originally renamed because "equals" made it unclear which way the causality goes, with examples split between the new name and PositionOfLiteralPower because of two separate reasons why someone with a high rank would be powerful. Examples of characters' power increasing with rank go to RankScalesWithAsskicking, and characters gaining access to power directly associated with positions of authority after gaining said positions go to PositionOfLiteralPower. |

| 195 | * "Aristocrat" must be shorthand for "evil" to qualify. Administrivia/{{Zero Context Example}}s should be moved to the discussion page, and "aversions" should be removed on sight. |

| 197 | * MesACrowd is a plot where the main character duplicates themselves. Examples of self-duplication in general should be moved to SelfDuplication. |

| 205 | * Defined as being for a character being voice acted for the first time or voice acting suddenly appearing for a character who can already talk. Any wicks pertaining to TheVoiceless or the like finally talking should be moved to SuddenlySpeaking. |
| 206 | !!ActionGirl cleanup: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/ActionGirl 22640 wicks]] (with 4 as HotChickWithASword) as of 01/25/2024 |
| 207 | * Defined specifically as a female character who's strong and action-oriented, but frequently misused as anytime a girl acts badass. See if the misuse fits one of the subtropes, and if not, cut it. |
| 208 | !!UnfortunateNames: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/UnfortunateNames 1773 wicks]] (with 323 as UnfortunateName and 5 as EmbarrassingName) as of 01/25/2024 |

| 210 | !!AlwaysIdenticalTwins: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/AlwaysIdenticalTwins 1307 wicks]] (with [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/IdenticalTwins 52]] as IdenticalTwins) as of 01/25/2024 |
| 211 | * Redefined as a TropeInAggregate, so only examples that aren't played straight or have more than one set of identical twins are valid. If it's just in reference to one set of twins (identical or fraternal), cut it. |
| 212 | !!BlueIsHeroic: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/BlueIsHeroic 1843 wicks]] as of 01/25/2024 |
| 213 | * The trope was redefined as a TropeInAggregate, with blue having to be a consistent, key part of the heroic character's design. All other examples must be removed. See Sandbox.BlueIsHeroic for cleaned namespaces. |
| 214 | !!PeoplesRepublicOfTyranny: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/PeoplesRepublicOfTyranny 852 wicks]] as of 01/25/2024 |
| 215 | * Only applicable to dictatorships that adopt democratic-sounding names to masquerade as democracies. Examples that are about dictatorships without a democratic-sounding name should be moved to TheDictatorship. |
| 216 | !!HateSink: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/HateSink 9560 wicks]] as of 01/25/2024 |
| 217 | * This trope is defined as "Someone (often a villain) who's ''intended to be hated by the audience''." Remove any examples that are already covered by their subtropes, and check examples for any misuse. |
| 218 | !!FiveManBand: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/FiveManBand 2159 wicks]] as of 01/25/2024 |
| 219 | * Only applicable to teams of five characters. Examples should describe the team's dynamic, and should remain as single-bullet examples without supertrope-subtrope sorting. "Roles" like The Leader and The Lancer should be moved if used properly, and cut if they're misused/shoehorned in. |
| 220 | !!ActuallyPrettyFunny: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/ActuallyPrettyFunny 6378 wicks]] as of 01/25/2024 |
| 221 | * Only applies if a character finds a joke funny despite previously either being reluctant to admit it and/or denying it was funny, or if the joke they find funny is one that was insulting them. Since the trope is Administrivia/InUniverseExamplesOnly, only examples from in-universe characters are allowed. |
| 222 | !! ItWasHisSled: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/ItWasHisSled 2900 wicks]] as of 01/25/2024 |
| 223 | * The work containing the spoiler in question must be at least five years old, so remove examples from works that were released more recently than that. In addition, examples must cover the {{Audience Reaction|s}} aspect (e.g., Everyone/the community knows this because...) instead of just listing the spoiler in question. Keep track of cleaned wicks in Sandbox/TheyWereHisWicks. |
| 224 | !! KnightOfCerebus: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/KnightOfCerebus 6551 wicks]], with 7 at CerebusKnight as of 01/25/2024 |
| 225 | * Only applies to villains whose introduction causes a lasting ToneShift that makes an initially lighthearted work significantly darker. If the ToneShift is short-lived or only occurs in scenes featuring the villain, remove the example. |
| 226 | !! UnintentionalPeriodPiece: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/UnintentionalPeriodPiece 2939 wicks]] as of 01/25/2024 |
| 227 | * Examples are only valid if a work is full of things that make the work firmly dated to its era, such as fashion, topical references, societal attitudes, etc.; valid examples on Trivia/ subpages need to be moved to the corresponding YMMV/ subpages due to UnintentionalPeriodPiece being reclassified as an {{Audience Reaction|s}} instead of {{Trivia}}. Examples that take place in PresentDay without being particularly dated should be moved to the work's main page under PresentDay. Examples that revolve entirely about the technology present in the work being dated should be moved within Trivia as an example of TechnologyMarchesOn. Works that take place in either an AlternateHistory or a completely fictional world do not count for either UnintentionalPeriodPiece or PresentDay and should be removed. In addition, since this is YMMV, examples are only allowed on YMMV pages, per Administrivia/WhatGoesWhereOnTheWiki. |
| 228 | !! RoleEndingMisdemeanor: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/RoleEndingMisdemeanor 1256 wicks]], not including redirects (with [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/RoleEndingMisdemeanour 23]] at RoleEndingMisdemeanour) as of 01/25/2024 |
| 229 | * While an example can cover either on-set or off-set behavior from a creator, they must have actually lost a role. In addition, at least two weeks must have passed before an example can be valid, so remove any examples that are more recent than that. |
| 230 | !! HumiliationConga: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/HumiliationConga 5290 wicks]] as of 01/25/2024 |
| 231 | * Only applicable to villains, {{Jerkass}}es, and other antagonists for whom humiliating events in quick succession would be cathartic. If the character does not fit into any of those categories, remove the example. |
| 232 | !! {{Understatement}}: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/Understatement 4614 wicks]] as of 01/25/2024 |
| 233 | * Has a long history of attracting potholes even after two previous cleanup efforts, and is now Administrivia/InUniverseExamplesOnly. Any wick which isn't an in-universe example should be removed. |
| 234 | !! ShipSinking: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/ShipSinking 1883 wicks]] as of 04/22/2024 '''[[pink:Active TRS Thread]]''' |
| 235 | * Only applies to scenes in-universe that are specific to the characters it is sinking, '''and''' the work gives some acknowledgement to the possibility of the two being a couple. If the example does not have both criteria, or is a YMMV audience reaction, remove it. |
| 236 | !! NeverLiveItDown: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/NeverLiveItDown 3886 wicks]] as of 01/25/2024 |
| 237 | * A TRS thread decided that RealLife examples are no longer allowed. Therefore, all examples and potholes referring to the actions of real people should be removed. Some examples regarding anything that is not the actions of a fictional character might better fit or merge with examples of OvershadowedByControversy instead. For music examples and examples related to individuals in mediums such as StandUpComedy and WebVideo, it's okay to say a musician or creator won't live it down if and only if it's something explicitly found within the content of their work. It has also been decided that the item will have a six-month waiting period, so remove any examples from moments more recent than that. Also, any examples or potholes made in the context of a character not living it down InUniverse should be moved to OnceDoneNeverForgotten. |
| 238 | !! TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot 6197 wicks]] as of 01/25/2024 |
| 239 | * After a TRS thread was inconclusive on how to deal with the item, it was decided that a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=16509479720A72263400&page=1 cleanup thread]] would be made to help rid it of prevalent misuse. While more specifics can be found in the thread, the general rule of thumb involving examples is that they should focus solely on screentime and exposure, not execution, and they shouldn't pitch or speculate on any hypothetical plot threads that do not exist in the work. |
| 240 | !! AmbiguouslyBrown: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/AmbiguouslyBrown 4020 wicks]] as of 04/22/2024 '''[[pink:Active TRS Thread]]''' |
| 241 | * Remove RealLife examples, characters that have a defined but fictional race, and examples that are just "actor has brown skin." |
| 242 | !! MayDecemberRomance: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/MayDecemberRomance 2891 wicks]] as of 01/25/2024 |
| 243 | * This trope is specifically for when the age gap between a couple is large, usually due to an elderly person being in a relationship with a younger person. Examples involving smaller age gaps belong under AgeGapRomance. |
| 244 | !! DeadArtistsAreBetter: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/DeadArtistsAreBetter 380 wicks]] as of 01/25/2024 |
| 245 | * If an example is in-universe, leave it under DeadArtistsAreBetter. If it involves real life opinions about real life creators, move it to PosthumousPopularityPotential, which is YMMV. |
| 246 | !! SoloCharacterRun: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/SoloCharacterRun 119 wicks]] as of 01/25/2024 |
| 247 | * Since this is a YMMV subtrope of SelfImposedChallenge, which itself is YMMV, examples are only allowed on YMMV pages (including both works' YMMV subpages and the pages for other YMMV items). However, if a limited amount of playable characters is imposed by a game mode instead of being a SelfImposedChallenge (such as if a level only allows the player to use one character at a time), leave it on the work page and add an [=[[invoked]]=] tag to it. |
| 248 | !! LowLevelRun: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/LowLevelRun 160 wicks]] as of 01/25/2024 |
| 249 | * Since this is a YMMV subtrope of SelfImposedChallenge, which itself is YMMV, examples are only allowed on YMMV pages (including both works' YMMV subpages and the pages for other YMMV items). However, if a lower level cap is imposed by a game mode instead of being a SelfImposedChallenge (such as if a harder game mode prevents players from leveling up), leave it on the work page and add an [=[[invoked]]=] tag to it. |
| 250 | !! MinimalistRun: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/MinimalistRun 143 wicks]] as of 01/25/2024 |
| 251 | * Since this is a YMMV subtrope of SelfImposedChallenge, which itself is YMMV, examples are only allowed on YMMV pages (including both works' YMMV subpages and the pages for other YMMV items). However, if a game mode limits the player's resources (such as reducing inventory space) rather than it being a SelfImposedChallenge, leave it on the work page and add an [=[[invoked]]=] tag to it. |
| 252 | !! NoCasualtiesRun: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/NoCasualtiesRun 81 wicks]] as of 01/25/2024 |
| 253 | * Since this is a YMMV subtrope of SelfImposedChallenge, which itself is YMMV, examples are only allowed on YMMV pages (including both works' YMMV subpages and the pages for other YMMV items). However, if a game mode limits the amount of casualties rather than it being a SelfImposedChallenge, leave it on the work page and add an [=[[invoked]]=] tag to it. |
| 254 | !! OldShame: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/OldShame 4562 wicks]] as of 01/25/2024 |
| 255 | * Has changed from a trivia item to a trope that is Administrivia/InUniverseExamplesOnly, expanded to be about anything in the past a character is ashamed of. Most examples will likely be moved to CreatorBacklash if referring to a creator disliking their own work. If the creator has taken the extra steps to remove the work from circulation because of their backlash (i.e. close to the intended original definition of OldShame), then it belongs in BuryYourArt. Other examples will better fit BannedEpisode, MissingEpisode, CostumeBacklash, DisownedAdaptation or DistancedFromCurrentEvents for trivia examples or IWasYoungAndNeededTheMoney and OnceDoneNeverForgotten for in-universe examples. Wick Cleaning for this page is tracked [[Sandbox/OldShameWickCleaning here]]. |
| 256 | !! AuthorsSavingThrow: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/AuthorsSavingThrow 2267 wicks]] as of 01/25/2024 |
| 257 | * Now {{Trivia}} instead of YMMV, and requires WordOfGod and/or WordOfSaintPaul confirmation that the changes were made due to audience complaints. Wicks without WordOfGod confirmation may better fit WinBackTheCrowd, CharacterRerailment, ImprovedSecondAttempt, SalvagedStory, WeDontSuckAnymore, or RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap instead. |
| 258 | !! BothSidesHaveAPoint: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/BothSidesHaveAPoint 2426 wicks]] as of 04/22/2024 '''[[pink:Active TRS Thread]]''' |
| 259 | * The definition was expanded so the two opposing sides can come to an agreement on their own instead of solely if a third party points it out. However, since the trope is Administrivia/InUniverseExamplesOnly, in-universe acknowledgement must be present in the work in at least one of those two forms instead of audiences coming to that conclusion on their own. Progress is being tracked [[Sandbox/TheseWicksHaveToBeCleaned here]]. |
| 260 | !! PlotHole: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/PlotHole 3005 wicks]] (including [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/PlotHoles 94]] at PlotHoles) as of 01/25/2024 |
| 261 | * Now a [[Administrivia/DefinitionOnlyPages definition-only page]]. Links to numerous more specific tropes that some wicks could be moved to instead. |
| 262 | !! WouldHitAGirl: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/WouldHitAGirl 6187 wicks]] as of 04/22/2024 '''[[pink:Active TRS Thread]]''' |
| 263 | * Remove examples that do no fit the new definition of "A guy that has no problems with violence against women is treated as morally questionable at best or evil at worst in a work's narrative and other characters." Cleanup is being tracked using the Sandbox/WouldCleanWicks sandbox. |
| 264 | !! StockholmSyndrome: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/StockholmSyndrome 995 wicks]] as of 04/22/2024 '''[[pink:Active TRS Thread]]''' |
| 265 | * Changed from a trope to a UsefulNotes page. The old location now contains a disambiguation page which links both to UsefulNotes.StockholmSyndrome and the trope AMatchMadeInStockholm. |
| 266 | !! ItWillNeverCatchOn: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/ItWillNeverCatchOn 1724 wicks]] as of 01/25/2024 |
| 267 | * The trope no longer allows real life examples. Therefore, any examples and potholes that are just about real life instances should either be turned/moved to AndYouThoughtItWouldFail or removed. |
| 268 | !! VillainHasAPoint: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/VillainHasAPoint 4791 wicks]] as of 04/22/2024 '''[[pink:Active TRS Thread]]''' |
| 269 | * IUEO now. |
| 270 | !! HellIsThatNoise: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/HellIsThatNoise 3429 wicks]] as of 04/22/2024 '''[[pink:Active TRS Thread]]''' |
| 271 | * IUEO now. Cleanup can be tracked at Sandbox.HellIsThatWickCleanup. |
| 272 | !! IKnewIt: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/IKnewIt 2479 wicks]] as of 04/22/2024 '''[[pink:Active TRS Thread]]''' |
| 273 | * Moved from Trivia to YMMV. Cleanup is being tracked at Sandbox.ICleanedIt. If the use is InUniverse, check if it can be moved to KnewItAllAlong. |
| 274 | !! WillTheyOrWontThey: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/WillTheyOrWontThey 2755 wicks]] as of 04/22/2024 '''[[pink:Active TRS Thread]]''' |
| 275 | * Made Definition-Only. Cleanup is being tracked at Sandbox.WillTheyCleanUp. However, references to the FanSpeak term within the text of either descriptions or other examples are still allowed. Clean up wicks accordingly, replacing examples with one of the tropes listed on the page if possible. |
| 276 | !! TyopOnTheCover: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/TyopOnTheCover 395 wicks]], plus 11 at a redirect, as of 01/25/2024 |
| 277 | * Not a {{Trivia}} item, but was mistakenly placed in the Trivia index for almost exactly one year, so most wicks in the Trivia namespace should be moved back to the main work page. Inline wicks can stay. |
| 278 | !! DarkMagicalGirl: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/DarkMagicalGirl 1459 wicks]] as of 04/22/2024 '''[[pink:Active TRS Thread]]''' |
| 279 | * Limited to only examples that are {{Shadow Archetype}}s whose story arc/theming distort, subvert, or twist the ideas of ThePowerOfLove and ThePowerOfFriendship. |
| 280 | !! MundaneUtility: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/MundaneUtility 7594 wicks]] as of 04/22/2024 '''[[pink:Active TRS Thread]]''' |
| 281 | * Defined as the use of any special power used for mundane tasks (such as [but not limited to] housework, regardless of whether it's actually efficient or even useful for the task) instead of just superpowers, and expand to include the use of magical and/or high-tech objects for mundane tasks in addition to to special powers. Clean misuse. |
| 282 | !! NintendoHard: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/NintendoHard 5839 wicks]] as of 04/22/2024 '''[[pink:Active TRS Thread]]''' |
| 283 | * Now YMMV, and with a requirement requiring examples to be at least a month old. Cleanup is being tracked at Sandbox.NintendoHardWickCleaning. |
| 284 | !! AbuseMistake: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/AbuseMistake 310 wicks]] as of 04/22/2024 '''[[pink:Active TRS Thread]]''' |
