Crown Description:
The Cretaceous Is Always Doomed is about time travelers having a tendency to arrive on days of famous events. However, a lot of people take the name literally and use it to refer to any depiction of the end-Cretaceous extinction, even when there's no time travel involved. Similarly, the description takes several paragraphs to mention that this trope isn't just about dinosaurs. What should be done?Split into two tropes — one about time travel, the other about plots involving the K-Pg extinction — and disambiguate the original name between those and UsefulNotes.Dinosaurs (which covers the real life event). The names would be decided with separate crowners.
