Horrible inbounds, dialogue title, and generally unclear: Got A Bigger Problem Now

This is a trope about when one plot element is quickly resolved to make room for a new one. It's not impossible to pick up on that from the name, but it's not terribly obvious, and it sounds like dialogue, which is frowned upon. Furthermore, it's got an appallingly low number of wicks and no inbounds at all. It looks like the YKTTW (in which it got relatively little help) is partially to blame for this, but overall it's a very unhealthy trope.

A rename is probably in order - my first idea was Make Room for the New Plot.

There is now a single proposition rename crowner for this here.

I agree with renaming the trope given how poor its inbounds are, especially since it seems to have been launched in 2010.

Got a Bigger Problem Now found in: 9 articles, excluding discussions.

The crowner favours Make Room for the New Plot by 7 points. Should we wait a little longer to see if others add more options or call it?

It's not there are any other suggestions to begin with. I'd say call it.

Got a Bigger Problem Now is now a redirect for Make Room for the New Plot, the wicks should be fixed, and there are notes about the change on the Renamed Tropes page and in the renamed tropes thread. There was no archived or regular discussion for Got a Bigger Problem Now so I did not send a report to move that. There was an archived YKTTW though and I linked to it in Make Room for the New Plot's discussion page. If there is a better way to handle old YKTT Ws when renaming a trope, please let me know.

Looks like the old one had no subpages.

Lock?
