Line #36 Sandbox/SoftSplitCleanup


1	This a sandbox for the Soft Split clean up thread. Tropes will be split into three categories: "Problem tropes", "Ongoing projects" and "Completed"
2	----
3	[[foldercontrol]]
4	[[folder:Problem Tropes]]
5	* ArcFatigue: Differentiates between "Arc Stall" and "Myth Stall" - are these separate tropes? Or distinction without a difference?
6	* TheGlassesGottaGo: Soft split between "Straight" and "Played with" examples. Why?
7	* TwoFirstNames
8	* BizarreAlienLocomotion: On first glance, some of these might be sub-tropes?
9	* BigEater: Category subpages have been split into thin/fat/average characters, for no discernible reason.
10	* BlackComedyRape: Split by gender and/or species affiliation of each end of the assault. May also need a general clean, as not all examples seem to be played for comedy.
11	* TheTonsillitisEpisode: Soft-split between removal of tonsils (Sort of a forgotten trope, as this operation is now uncommon) and removal of wisdom teeth. Perhaps needs a rename?
12	* StockYuck: Split by food groupings. Has degenerated into a list of foods that have non-fandoms in their native areas. May need description cleanup as well.
13	* NearlyNormalAnimal: Soft split into fine gradations - This may be a symptom of issues with SlidingScaleOfAnthropomorphism.
14	* NoBiochemicalBarriers: essentially already hardsplit - maybe just [=TLP=] the split segments into full-fledged tropes?
15	* AlterEgoActing: Subtypes, may overlap with existing tropes...
16	* AcCENTUponTheWrongSylLABle: Split between "Intentional" and "Accidental" --but how can we tell for sure? Plus, accents are a thing...
17	* NoPartyGiven: Has a a separate example list for Aversions and Subversions. Not sure if averting this trope is in itself tropeworthy.
18	* ICantReachIt: Separate folders for various companies.
19	* RaceLift: Example sub-pages for various flavors. This split seems to have existed back in the mists of time, with no justification other than "For the sake of organization". Not clear if these distinctions have a use, and they have prompted discussions on how to categorize certain examples in the past.
20	* HostileHitchhiker: On-page hard-split with the {{Inversion}} of the person doing the pickup being the dangerous one. Needs a sponsor to run the second definition through TLP to see if it stands on it's own.
21	* TheExecutioner: 7-way soft split. Many look like "Executioner Meets X." Parts of the page might be better as UsefulNotes. Tropeworthyness has been debated since before the launch, not sure if there are viable subtropes here.
22	* CurseCutShort: Seven sub-pages, some of which might actually be different tropes.
23	* OurPresidentsAreDifferent, whose example section is not soft-split but contains lots of category labels, seems like a good candidate for hard-splitting into separate tropes. I think some of them need not be limited to national leaders; for instance, "President Playboy" could accumulate more examples if it were something like Playboy Politician. See [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1370868121047376200 previous TRS]] on the subject.
24	* {{GASP}}: This has a soft-split between straight and played with examples. There are too few examples in each section and folder to justify this.
25	* GoodHairEvilHair: Sub-split over a dozen ways based on style and moral association.
26	* CapitalLettersAreMagic: Very odd set of thematic sortings that seem to encourage ZCE and the wrong kind of potholes.
27	* AnimalTesting: Split between "Pro-Animal Testing," "Anti-Animal Testing" and "Ambiguous Examples."
28	[[/folder]]
29	[[folder:Ongoing Projects]]
30	* {{Fainting}} Started as a 9-way soft split that drew lines between "Monster Faint" and "Girly Man Faint" for example. We're not sure it's really a trope, though a couple of subsets are obviously tropable concepts. Other bits may simply be indicators for something else. Will re-evaluate as we go.
31	** FaintInShock was launched and its examples cleaned from the page
32	** FakeFaint has been cleaned from the page.
33	** Sandbox.HeyTheWickCheckFainted shows that around 60% of wicks should be categorized FaintInShock, with another 20% ZCE. Has it's own [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=16230833060A41189700&page=1#1 cleanup thread]] to move wicks. Once that is finished, we will re-check usage.
34	* BigEater: subpages are split into Thin and Fat subheadings, with no narrative difference shown. Alphabetizing in Sandbox.BigEater. Feel free to drop by and alphabetize a few entries - This one will take a while! Subpages to work through:
35	** BigEater/AnimeAndManga --Currently in the sandbox (Copied 07 of June, 2021)
36	** BigEater/ComicBooks
37	** BigEater/FanWorks
38	** BigEater/AnimatedFilms
39	** BigEater/LiveActionFilms
40	** BigEater/{{Literature}}
41	** BigEater/LiveActionTV
42	** BigEater/TabletopGames
43	** BigEater/VideoGames
44	** BigEater/WebComics
45	** BigEater/WesternAnimation
46	[[/folder]]
47	[[folder:Completed]]
48	* AsianAirhead: First type was removed from the definition entirely via TRS due to being irrelevant to the inherent StereotypeFlip.
49	* CatGirl: Media folders were soft-split into "Biological" and "Costumed" sublists. Catgirls do not take well to being categorized, perhaps due their feline flexibility? De-split to standard media folder arrangement.
50	* {{Constellations}}: Suspected of not being a trope, Several loosely related concepts are listed here. Has been turned into a disambiguation per [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1614791525053892800 TRS discussion]], with wick cleaning nearing its end.
51	* EpicRace: Had been split by mode of transportation. This may have contributed to [=ZCE=] and decay.
52	* NerdGlasses: Was soft-split by glasses style. May have issues beyond ZCE.
53	* QuestionableConsent: Type A/Type B subsplit, maybe a distinction without a difference, but Type B may be a poorly phrased "YMMV" or audience reaction. '''Subsplit was not being consistently applied, so removed it. Other concerns outside of this project's scope.
54	* FurAndLoathing had several "Related Character Type" folders, all of which have their own tropes. Not really relevant to this trope as used. The description may need a (Separate) cleanup.
55	[[/folder]]
56	[[folder:Retained Softsplit]]
57	* TeacherStudentRomance: HotForTeacher and HotForStudent are on-page hardsplit, and the wicks for the page show that they are being used correctly. In absence of major narrative differences in how these variants are handled, splitting out separate pages seems not to be indicated. Some cleanup of OPE might be necessary.
