Tough call. If the examples fit the subtropes, then obviously they should be using the appropriate subtrope, but if there are examples that don't, then we should probably redefine this as a supertrope.
(And the reason I say "tough call" is because it's going to require work, rather than guesswork, to find the right answer.)
Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.I think using it as a supertrope could be fit, although it would definitively be Trivia then.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanAlso, some of the tropes, like Killed Off for Real, isn't necessarily because of any Real Life events. That means it's not a supertrope to all of the listed tropes. But would the index still cover them as well, or should they be removed?

Real Life Writes the Plot is an index with no examples. However, it is very widely misused as a trope.
What should be done to fix this? Rename or add examples?
