Does that have a parent article? Because we don't allow orphaned subpages.

So, er, I think I fucked up a bit.

I was trying to put examples of Spider-Man What An Idiot examples into its own subpage since there were a bit of examples scattered through multiple series and I thought that'd be a better way to both cut down on the massive space over there and making it easier to find Spider-Man What An Idiot Examples in general. However, I seemed to have made the namespace Spider-Man in general instead of specifically What An Idiot -Spider Man Western Animation. Any clue on how to fix this, or should that just be an area for What An Idiot moments from other spider man works (like movies, or video games) to go as well, just under their separate folders?

[up] - Well, Page Types by Namespace - S has nothing on a Spider-Man namespace, so I think you're good?

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF52pLQxbc073wRQvh9-7p18E51sVqvv- I´ve created a trope page for this web series yesterday, this one to be precise https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WebOriginal/TheMANLYAdventuresOfMokeyMokey And I´m not sure which type of web original belongs to it.

Video Game Genres?

Question? Lately, many Out of Focus posts are now disappearing because "it's not for characters who end up with less screentime than the rest, it's for characters who haven't been seen for ages with no reason for their disappearance."

So I thought of Put on a Bus, but the main characters are still there, they just have less screentime than the rest.

And Demoted to Extra doesn't work since they're main characters, they're just there with nothing to do or storylines to progress.

Not demoted but not used, not disappeared but just there, and not focused on but can't be out of focus despite.....the obvious.

So what trope do we use?

[up][up] It's not a genre, though. It's an index for online games that aren't supported by their creators.

[up] - Hmm... Is it any different in any important way from Freeware Games? Which is on Video Game Genres and Video Game Tropes?

Hey everyone. So I just launched the trope Beacon Of Hope, and am not entirely sure where to put it. My thoughts were either with Lighter and Softer or Reverse Cerebus Syndrome, but I wanted to ask.

Read "Ghost Stories of Remnant" here.

[up] Hope Index would probably work. Thank you.

Trying to index Sexual Euphemism. We don't have a Euphemism Index, do we? ... Should I make one?

How is this different from Double Entendre? Anyhow, you can lift indices from that entry.

[up] - Because sometimes it's a Single Entendre, but still not speaking plainly, and Double Entendre doesn't have to be sexual... Fixing its entry on Sex Tropes...

Not Double Meaning, because there's usually only one sensible meaning, but I'll take the others.

It should have the same indexes as Deadly Euphemism, except for ones that relate to the Deadly part...

So, we really don't have a index for euphemisms? Language Tropes just seems too broad...

Well, Sexual Euphemism has 4 indexes now, so that's good.

Currently Ambiguous Allegiance is only listed on This Might Be an Index (AlliterativeName.Tropes A To E doesn't count). What other indexes are appropiate for this trope? Perhaps Loyalty Tropes?

I created a new index page, Virtual Reality Index, and I'd like to add it to the Index-Index. However, I do not seem to have the ability to edit that page.

Any article typed as "index" gets added to the Index-Index automatically. You should put it on another, lower level index as well, like Video Game Systems.

Your mistake is that you didn't do that first step.

I don't think it fits in Video Game Systems, seeing how the page contains both systems and media and doesn't organize them by creator. I'm not sure where else it could go, unless Cyberspace were to become an index.

I believe so. The first and third are even already on said index.
