What index(es) should this go on?

Urban legends don't really have to be mysteries? They're just myths people think are true.

Hmm.. okay, I see now. I don't like referring to it with anything else, but the description effectively says it's pretty much any scary story.

"Pop!" Goes the Human links to it, so that can be indexed with Soda being used in explanation as one of the forms.

Humans exploding in general isn't an urban legend, though; the specific variant in which consuming soda and Pop Rocks is. It originated from the rumor that Little Mikey from the Life Cereals advertisements died from consuming soda and Pop Rocks (of course, he didn't). Many of the examples on the page involve the simultaneous consumption Pop Rocks and soda causing one's body to explode, and some (Urban Legend, Megas XLR) discuss it specifically in the context of it being an urban legend.

My initial question still stands, however: should it be listed under "Deaths and disappearances" (because it originated from a death rumor) or "Other urban legends" (because not all examples involve injury or death)?

Where should Military and Warfare Superindex go?

Why is Funny.Fan Works partially a duplicate of Funny.Fanfic?

Would a video game mod be fitting to go in a video games of *decade* page? Would there need to be a separate one for mods if not?

If Nehrim a guide, then yes they go on the Video Games year pages.

Oh alright thanks

Some Minecraft servers have the video game namespace, do they also go anywhere, what about those with the roleplay namespace

You want to give them Years-type indexes? Because otherwise you could follow the examples you have?

I'm pretty sure Minecraft servers are the only servers with pages and I haven't seen any examples of them going in by years indexes

While you could argue that means they shouldn't be at all

It could just be that nobody bothered to

This is why I am asking

Eye-Dentity Giveaway is on Mind Control because the controlled has the controller's eyes.

Not sure the description allows that?

The body is still the same?

That's too narrow a description of Eye-Dentity Giveaway, yes.

So, Eye-Dentity Giveaway still fits on Mind Control, but the description should be more like this?

Or do we need to change Eye-Dentity Giveaway's description?

The former, I think.

Ummm, how can I index a video game trope page? Like Big Buck Hunter (Which I set up, I'm surprised it took THAT long for somebody to make a page for this hunting game!) I just simply have no clue how to do so.

Just try to look up pages for similar videogames. Video Games is a minimum, as a genre with others are options.

If you mean how to add to one, you just open the index and insert the wick to the page into it (alphabetically).

See How Indexing Works.

How do I connect one recap page of an episode to the next at the bottom?

It should be done automatically if the episodes are listed in order on the series' recap page.

UsefulNotes.Rhetorical Phrasing

I was looking at UsefulNotes.Tenses, but it's a Useful Notes, it shouldn't be on Language Tropes, should it?

Bay 12 Monster Girls shouldn't be on Platform/4Chan because it's Bay 12?

Putting Playing Sick on Infidelity Index seems like a big stretch. Only a fraction of examples are the "not tonight honey I have a headache" variety, and only a fraction of those involve infidelity.

• Playing Sick: For the version of the trope where one member of a couple (normally, a man) is in the mood, but the other (normally, the woman) feigns a sickness (normally, a headache) in order not to have sex. Usually, this will happen repeatedly, and it's implied (if not explicit) that she doesn't really love or isn't attracted to him, or even that she's having an affair with someone else.

I agree, it looks shoehorned.

Should Shadowed Face, Glowing Eyes go on the Mystery Tropes index, since it can be used to hide the perpetrator's identity from the audience?

Since that look brings an air of mystery to a character,

Should The Trap Parents go on Escape Tropes and Index to the Rescue? The description makes it clear that the adopted character should escape or be rescued. However, maybe this trope shouldn't go on Escape Tropes because the adopted character is sometimes rescued instead, and maybe this trope shouldn't go on Index to the Rescue because the adopted character sometimes escapes instead.

Neither necessarily happens, though since the obvious goal is getting outta there, perhaps Escape Tropes is fitting enough.
