The video games are more than half the whole page. I think we should do something like this:

Video game examples

(folders by genre: FPS, Strategy, Platformers, Other seem a minimum)

Other

(folders for other things)

Or maybe we should outright split the page?

Um, the trope is primarily about video games. So of course they would take up most of this.

Yeah, this is primarily a videogame trope.

I never said that was a problem. The problem is that the video games part itself is a scrambled mess and could do with some internal organization.

"The video games are more than half the whole page."

That is the first thing you wrote, and implies the size is the problem. If you had a problem with the organization, you should have stated that, not that it took up most of a page that is a video game trope.

[[quote]]"The video games are more than half the whole page." That is the first thing you wrote, and implies the size is the problem.[[/quote]]

Actually, it was just a statement of a fact. It didn't "imply" anything, even out of context.

Moving along... Medinoc's first idea sounds good to me. I don't know about splitting it — how long does a page need to be before that happens, usually?

Actually, the context is what leads it to imply something, namely, the context that it is the first thing stated in a TRS thread.

Yes. TRS threads, like any post, are frequently expected to state the most important thing first and upfront.

I didn't even realize there were non videogame examples.

Alrighty. I've sorted the page, so unless there's anything else anyone wants to say, we can close this.
