Well, seeing as people don't use The Urkel off the page for anyone other than the trope namer, there might not actually be a trope here. If we can't describe it as a common thread that ties the examples together, then it might just need to be cut.
Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. DickMy dictionary merely says "extravert" is a variant spelling of "extrovert". I don't think we care which spelling psychologists may or may not prefer (which may vary by country or region). We want the spelling that isn't a variant — the common spelling — so people don't have to check their dictionaries to figure out that it's not misspelt. We also want people to be able to find it in the first place, which is far less likely with "extravert".
I already fixed up a bunch of on-page examples that were X Just X to show how they match the description, and also tweaked the description (in reference to in-media depictions, changing "most", which is untrue, to "many") in the hopes it will cut down on the overbroad shoehorning. The name is probably the biggest reason it's not used in wicks; the trope itself seems straightforward and fairly common, at least to me.
edit: p.s. current standings: +9 (yeas:12 nays:3) 4.00 : 1 for Extroverted Nerd, +1 (yeas:3 nays:2) 1.50 : 1 for Nerdy Extrovert, everything else red.

Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.My psychology texts books all say extrovert for the record.

Crown Description:
I've had quite a few discussions about the definitions among "Nerd", "Dork" and "Geek". I don't want to go into all of that right now, but I added Social Dork just in case people wanted to head in that direction with this.
