[up] Yes, I did. I was just teasing though. Most of the edits I've been making I use a boilerplate for, but now and again a page comes up that I do something unique with to break the monotony, and seeing your name gave me that opportunity. Especially given that the page was Made Of Lose and was all about teasing people.

Ended up cutting 70% of the Anime/Manga page due to misuse. What a nightmare. Natter and justifying edits galore.

[up] Thank you soooo much. It's insane, isn't it? This trope is vastly out of control but seems to have gone unnoticed for quite some time.

104 wicks left, but I've done all I can. All the rest are locked pages, false positive Just Bugs Me (links were removed from actual Headscratchers page) or Crowning Moment (ditto Awesome/) and some bizarre cases where they show up on the "related to" page but have no link at all on the actual page itself.

I cutlisted the two old unused redirects to the old page title, Missing Moment Of Awesome and Missed Moments Of Awesome, but the cut requests were declined for unkown reasons. Do you think they should be cut? I think keeping those old redirects around encourages the misuse of the old title.

[up]Of course they should be deleted. After all, I recently cut If You Get My Drift and You Know What I Mean for encouraging misuse of If You Know What I Mean.

I'll lock this up after I go through the wicks for locked pages.

62 wiks left. Bumping for completion.

I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.

And that's done. All wicks remaining are truly phantom wicks or refer to the trope being under its old name. Locking.
