It's done like a Search Generated Index right now.

[up] You missed the fact that the index is just the examples of the trope on this site. I think the index bit should go. It's making it hard to see it's a trope.

Just move it to a "TV Tropes" folder in the example section.

So the page isn't even about "doom tropes"? Then we might not even need that list. And the page type should be "trope".

I think that the page type is probably a hold over from the days before we had Trope + Index.

I mean it shouldn't be an index at all, as the list falls under a search generator, not a proper index.

[up]Right. We do not need an index of "tropes with doom in the title."

And any tropes about doom itself would be covered under Death Tropes, I think.

I've also seen this misused to make a lame joke out of anything with "doom" or similar words in the title.

The tropes listed here are certainly examples of this trope, but I don't see any need for it to be an index.

Rhymes with "Protracted."

So... should we just cut out that part.

Well, I mean, they are examples. So we could put them in an examples folder. Wiki.TV Tropes is a work.

Well is just slapping "doom" in a trope name an actual example? That just could be done with "Even on this very site, 'Doom' is used in the names of some tropes for the meaning it conveys."

The first paragraph of You Fool! applies pretty well to Doomy Dooms of Doom as well. If that helps.
