Me's A Crowd has evolved, should we split Self-Duplication power from it?: Mes A Crowd

So at this point, we have Self-Duplication and Me's a Crowd. The first is about self duplication in general, and Me's a Crowd is just about a specific plot involving it. However, Me's a Crowd still has tons of misuse, and no one bothered to move any of the examples over to Self-Duplication.

Seems like we just need to clean everything up before we think about doing anything else. We definitely don't need a rewrite, and that crowner should be ignored.

400+ wicks. Do you it needs to be taken to Special Efforts?

I have a question about this one... what's the difference between this and Send in the Clones. I feel like these three are easy to mix up now.

That one is a popular character gets dupes in the sequel series so he can appear more.

IE: Misaka Mikoto of To Aru Majutsu No Index is an absurdly popular in later novels she has 20k clones for an army, a loli clone and a shy one.

They dont have to be literal clones though like the Mortal Kombat Palette Swap ninjas.

For the record, Misaka's clones, while starting at 20K, were reduced later on after no less than half their original number was killed off by an antagonist, leaving them at less than 9,900-something clones.

There's 456 wicks left here.

479 wicks. It's growing, not shrinking.

502 wicks now.

... How the heck? Okay, we seriously need to make this a Special Efforts job, if only so we can track down the cause for this wick growth.

I've added to the Special Efforts thread for abandoned TRS cleanups, but there are a lot of them and only a handful of volunteers.

526 wicks left.

Ok, assuming that this is about multiple clones of each other and Self-Duplication is about the power of creating these, I checked all A-C wicks.

Me's a Crowd as about a certain way of using such clones, actually.

Through magic or super-technology, the main character decides to get a large number of chores done via copying himself.

So, is this the definition of Me's a Crowd? Because this thread is rather ambiguous on that. And the name sucks, if so.

Yes and yes (IMO on the name sucking).

I wonder if the best solution here would be to remove that trope from the page and use it for any form of self-clones.

I thought that's what we were doing.

Ok, seeing through this thread I found this crowner, but someone rather arbitrarily declared it invalid.

Do we want a rename crowner? It seems like the easiest solution (plain renames work better than wick cleanups) and Me's a Crowd would fail the dialogue trope name rules as well.

Clocking, since this hasn't been touched forever.

And locking.
