So you mean, tag an index, then that tags all the indexed pages?
I prefer the idea of tagging multiple articles to a thread; it could work without an index.
In an earlier thread I suggested that article centric conversations should be made for more forums.

With the sandbox namespace, we can make a temporary page that holds all of the tropes, if needed. If individual artivles are tagged, which one shows up at the top of the thread and on the thread title?

Good idea, but what if the trope at issue is indexing and only that trope has a problem?
One consideration there is that these topics don't usually cover all the pages at once. In case of a stepwise discussion, I would rather use the normal tagging tool.

I said a new banner tool, not changing the current banner tools. My suggestion is of a separate tool used only when multiple pages are being affected by decisions in one thread.
hottips was not being dealt with one article at a time. When Bad Ass and Personal Appearance tropes were coming under scrutiny, they were not being dealt with one at a time. First, a decision was made to affect all of the tropes. Then individual articles started to get analyzed. I'm asking for a tool to use not when projects are dealing with one page, but when they're making decisions that affect more than that page.
Hottips was dealt with a headline. Also, the Appearance topic deals now with articles on a stepwise fashion.

Would there be a way to change the thread between forms? (Normal, Article-centric, Index-centric)
Also, I realized that the sandbox solution of tagging two articles would not work because the sandbox would be linked at the bottom, leading to pther tropes with problems and interfering with navigation and the state the tropes were in.
A Normal centric thread becomes an Article Centric one whenever it's moved into TRS/IP.

I mean, complete thread moves. Do Not Taunt Cthulhu and Bullying a Dragon are not tagged because 1. it's not possible to tag two tropes to one article at this moment and 2. the thread is not physically an article centric conversation.
The reverse happens more frequently, especially for Projects threads. I suggested that the creation of article centric conversations be made for other forums
, but there was no response.

That thread has a blue button that does the tagging when asked.

...huh.
There should be a way to do that outside Trope Repair Shop and Image Pickin.
If there is a need for such a tag, such as in a Projects topic, ask a moderator to tag itSpecific request .

Ah.
Most Projects threads are about an article in the first place, so they should be able to be created as Article Centric Conversations. Also they would add a Projects banner to the page, not a TRS banner.
Hi
I've started a Query Wishlist topic about this general concept and will note this thread there. Locking.
The wiki has grown large enough that we have several projects going on that involve multiple tropes, or multiple works pages.
My proposal is that a new banner tool be created. When a topic is linked to trope page "A", all of the pages indexed under trope page "A" also have the banner. This tool would be used for projects such as the Appearance Tropes cleanup, the Bad Ass tropes cleanup, the Creator Pages In Main fixing, the Wick Migration thread, and would've been used for the hottip markup page.
If this banner tool could only function in one forum, I suggest it be used for the Long Term Projects forum.
