If someone outlines what exactly needs to be moved, I can do it.

I think we still need to come to some consensus about what to rename the Tailor-Made Prison trope. I do not believe that everyone agrees on that name.

A crowner about whether to rename to that specific name, maybe?

For the record, I like Tailor-Made Prison.

Tailor-Made Prison and Custom Made Prison both work for me. The latter might be a good redirect to help searches.

I do think that Thrown In A Pit And Forgotten would be a good trope for the current name to point to, if only someone were ambitious enough to YKTTW it.

Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.

I like Custom Made Prison personally.

Personally I prefer "Tailor-mad" to "Custom-made" because of the connotations: "custom-made" tends to be used in reference to the purchaser, "tailor-made" tends to refer to the user.

If he wanted to, Batman could buy a custom-made prison built that is tailor-made to keep the Joker in.

I think we have a winner.

Well, there are only 11 votes, which means about 5 people participated. Maybe wait a little longer.

And are we still splitting off Oubilette into its own trope, more consistent with what the word actually means?

I think actual Oubliettes are covered in Thrown Down a Well, although the description could need a little more detail.

Let's just say and leave it at that.

Calling this one with the crowner at +14 (yeas:15 nays:1) (15.00 : 1) in favor of renaming to Tailor-Made Prison (custom displayed as Tailor-Made Prison.)

Let the scutwork begin:

  • Copy over the page to the new name
  • Holler for a mod to move the discussion, if there is one.
  • Move any subpages
  • Fix the wicks to point to the new name.
  • Make the old page a redirect.
  • List it on Renamed Tropes.

I was going through the wicks, and about a third of them might be intended for Thrown Down a Well instead. Should we make it a redirect to that, or a disambiguation, or what?

No, it's not the same thing as Thrown Down a Well. That's the plot. Oubliette is the thing. Correct them to point to that page.

I didn't lock it yesterday because you said you "were going through the wicks". Threads don't get locked til all the work is done.

Is everything done?

Yes, and I thought I gave a link to the related to in the holler. I guess that's my mistake. Here it is.

The rest are artifact wicks.
