Needs Help: Acting For Two

Acting for Two is heavily being misused as a trope instead of an index, and it looks more like an index to me.

Is this just a case of Missing Supertrope Syndrome, or is there some other way to fix?

It's a trope+index. Check the page type.

(This probably means it should have an example section, and index tags to limit the indexing, but that all may be optional.)

So if it's both trope and index, why does it not have any general "acting for two" examples?

Because...nobody has set up an example section and index tags to limit the indexing? It's being wick'd like a trope, so finding examples should be no problem if you really feel they must appear on the page. Certainly seems like a reasonable thing to do to me, but I'm not sure we need TRS to do that.

I don't that's a problem, but the index is itself problematic. It sounds like it's supposed to be about one actor playing multiple roles, but Strong Family Resemblance is about drawn characters, The Other Darrin is an inverse and Suspiciously Similar Substitute is about a similar character that is played by a different actor. They don't belong.

Also, You Look Familiar seems to be about when an actor plays multiple roles in the same franchise by coincidence, but in practice seems to have basically every situation where an actor played multiple roles including things where they were supposed to be identical, which makes it the same things as Acting for Two, but with examples.

Clocking due to lack of activity.

So would anyone object if I just removed all the tropes that weren't about one actor playing multiple roles from the index? At a glance, that would be The Other Darrin and its subtropes, Strong Family Resemblance and Suspiciously Similar Substitute and its subtrope. You May Remember Me From is highly questionable.

no objection

It's taken care of

Anything else to do here?

I don't think so. I'm for closing.
