Built like an index or useful notes.: You Fail Law Forever

This page came up in Natter Alert and rather than simply clean it, I was curious what to do with it since it's built like an index/useful notes hybrid.

Dump everything that doesn't fit with the idea of "Artistic License - Law", as it is about to be renamed to that.

Okay I cleaned most of it out, there's no examples and it's still set up as an index as they're all subtropes of one kind or another. The new page is over at Artistic License – Law. I do have a question, should we set up separate ones for non-American laws?

Soft splits should work.

Okay, I'll make a pass to try and make some sections for them.

We have a new page at Artistic License – Law now, but the original "You Fail Law Forever" namespace still exists separate from this.

Instead of being made a redirect, the old page was just given the following as a custom title in place of the original wiki word: You Fail Law Forever.

Okay, I added a section for Eagle Land Osmosis. I think I got most of the useful tidbits out of You Fail Law Forever onto Artistic License – Law. Should I turn the old page into a redirect or what?

Bumping.

Odd, the old page got wiped, I suspect it was when the You Fail tropes got moved. Should I do restore the old one?

^The old page wasn't wiped; the phrase "You Fail Law Forever" was just given the custom title You Fail Law Forever, and the new page that was created at Artistic License – Law has been made a redirect. The "old page" is still the "existing page", albeit with a radically different custom title.

I meant the one where I copied over the stuff.

Yeah, I think that was merged with the page that has the more history here.

Only it's being listed as an index on trope pages twice.

That might have been my fault.
