Well first off, this Trope was called But Your Wings Are Beautiful, and I feel the that name did a better job describing what the trope was about, ie. An abnormal trait that a character is ashamed of being admired by another char. The new name fails to to get across the "another char likes it part".

Normally, I would not complain about a trope rename no matter of much I disagree with it. But there is no mention of the justifcation for the rename on the Renamed Tropes page nor is there any record of a TRS discussion. Making me think that this was just some guy's unilateral decision. So, if nothing else, let's discuss this.

  1. You need to enter the name in CamelCase.
  2. This was done by Fast Eddie, a few days ago, prolly to get rid of the stockphrase.
  3. Seems like a good rename, even with admin fiat (and shoddy rename procedure: The old page should be deleted to remove ghost wicks and the wicks need to be moved)

Alright than. If Fast Eddie did it, I shall drop the subject.

Alrighty. I'll do some of the remaining work.

Hmm, actually on second look it seems the new name lacks a key bit of the trope. I'll ask a mod to look into this.
