Agreed. If you don't know what the term means, introducing it before explaining the actual trope is just going to be confusing.

Stars Are Souls reads like a laconic. Can someone expand it a bit, please?
Chilly Reception has four paragraph of Example As Thesis. I'm think of replacing the whole description with the three middle paragrahs of it's ykttw
It's probably minimally better
Ramming Always Works seems to be a bit too analytic
The Other Troper
Can we drop the color text in Good Colors, Evil Colors? White just washes out, although others have problems.
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.

IMO "white" should make the characters white-colored but with black borders.
Where there is Distress, therein lies a Story. Where there is a Story, therein lies a Will. Where there is a Will, therein lies a Soul.
Remove the colours. Fast Eddie has repeatedly stated not to colour the text like that—people know which colour is which.

So why not just disable them? Or are there specific kinds of articles where we can use colors in?

That too.
That too.
Your troper page, for one.
I meant other than such pages.

Should there not be some official notice of this policy other than "Eddie said this in a few places somewhere at some point"?

Colours were once disabled in the past due to abuse, they just came back because they were popular.
You don't need an official policy for everything. An entry saying Red once is one thing. Having an entire page telling you which colour is which is tacky.

I'm going to disagree that it's tacky to sparingly use colored text when invoking Color-Coded for Your Convenience and its subtropes, but my opinion doesn't really play into this.
If the policy is not to use it at all here, then it would be appreciated to state as much instead of relying on value judgements not universally shared here.

The description on Moving the Goalposts is egregiously long. Who wrote that?! I suggest to shorten it.

DC, there is no policy to not use colors at all. We expect people to use their common sense about it. We are not going to start writing policies for every little thing. If using colors makes the page difficult to read, don't use them. If the only reason you want to use colors is because you think it's cool, but they don't actually make the page better, don't use them.
It's simple, really. Think.
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.
In that case, anyone else think we should put the colors back? I hate the colored text when it's in the middle of a paragraph, but I think it looks okay when it's all in a single column like that.
I made it 3 paragraphs shorter. It's still huge though.

Can anyone come up with a better opening for Warrior Therapist because
"Implausible Fencing Powers meets Hannibal Lecture."
doesn't make any sense.
School of Seduction needs a better description
Hi.
So, Web Video's description seems over-analyzed, and most of the analysis in question sounds complainy. I say we should cut out the complaints and move the bulk of the description that's left onto the analysis page.
[Insert seemingly profound or amusing phrase here.]
Massive Race Selection was written by some well-meaning ignoramus who doesn't know jack about the medium that uses this medium-specific trope. Namely, me. We split it off of Loads and Loads of Races in TRS, and no gamer stepped up to write it, so I did... sorta.
I'm still looking for a well-versed computer-and-tabletop gamer who can help polish this description into what it deserves. Apparently this is a trope not only of RPG s, but also "strategy games" and maybe some other types.

I tried to flesh out Stars Are Souls a little.
Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.
Justifying Edit seems to be three pages stuffed into one. Personally, I believe the first paragraph can stay, but the rest needs trimming.
The Other Troper
Not sure if this was brought up, but Teleport Cloak is a stub.

Humanity's Wake is rather incomprehensible.
Ditto for Aren't You Forgetting Someone?
Welcome, traveller, welcome to Omsk
Humanity's Wake is one of those Self Demonstrating Articles for a trope that doesn't actually require one. I'd prefer for it to just get a description.
