How much more than the laconic, "A type of Mook that is considerably stronger than the average mook", does it really need? Which also is included in the title.

The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.It pretty clearly states that they are upgraded mooks usually with palette swaps, new armour bits, etc. Read the whole thing it tells you what makes an elite mook. Granted I find this Trope Co stuff to be more of a needless distraction. They could make a just for fun page and we could make this one more straight forward.
Who watches the watchmen?Actually there is a Trope Co namespace for exactly this sort of gag, so if someone's willing to rewrite the description in a straighter fashion we can transplant most of the current one over there.
Rhymes with "Protracted."Sounds good to me.
Here is the sandbox for it.

Who watches the watchmen?Since no one took up the mantle of fixing this I went ahead and did a tenative write up in the sandbox. A copy of the current description is in there to.
My current write up needs a bit of help would someone be so kind as to go over it and do some of their own work.
Who watches the watchmen?Shall I redo the description?
Check out the sandbox link for the new one. Rewrite tweak it etc.
Who watches the watchmen?It looks a little stilted to me.
Many short paragraphs.
It doesn't make for a good reading experience.

The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.Then change it. That is why it is a sandbox. Instead of complaining offer something useful. In fact in the post above I asked for someone else to have at it.
Who watches the watchmen?If you use a . instead of a / in the link, the namespace isn't hidden, e.g. Sandbox.Elite Mooks.
Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.Thanks for the tip Rodney.
Who watches the watchmen?I might change it, if I get to it, but I didn't have the time before. I'm not exactly encouraged by your response, though.
Edit: Just tossed around the lines a bit as a quick-fix. I think it looks better.

The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.Sorry if I came across too harshly. It does look better now. Still seems to be lacking a bit more Substance. I have been trying to write up a better intro/description.
Who watches the watchmen?No worries. My "help" was rather terse anyway.
As I said in my first post of the thread, I don't really believe we need much of a description here. It's not a complicated trope.
What do we need to address, though?
The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.I was thinking of an example of finding an elite mook then going into the technical explanation.
Who watches the watchmen?Wow someone already put it up.
Who watches the watchmen?Looks like we're done. Locking up.
Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.
It's one of those Trope Co descriptions that are full of marketing hype but don't actually tell you what the trope is about. I thought those were deprecated, or at least belong in a different namespace?
Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!
