Trope Namer Syndrome ahoy!
I wasn't the one bumping the YKTTW, but if it got relaunched against consensus then that is asking not just for a cut, but a speedy cut and/or lock.

Too bad. It's an interesting trope, but it Needs More Love for sure.

Yeah, but not as written. A "This is the Trope Namer" page quotation, unnecessary "The" title, never (can't tell for sure) got hats for launching.

So, cut the trope and keep hammering out the YKTTW?

Looks like it's been cut. Close this thread in favor of YKTTW-age?
Zzzzzzzzzz

Yep

This trope was brought to TRS a few months ago
and sent back to YKTTW, where it received almost no improvement before being relaunched. I like what this trope is about, so I added two examples and some redirects. However, I don't know what else to do to prevent it from just... sitting there. The trope name might be an issue.
What do you guys think? Would renaming help at all?
EDIT: Hmm, looks like Stratadrake revived the YKTTW
for it recently, which should help with example-gathering and related tropes. Not sure if the name can actually be changed from there, but still.
