Not sure if this has been purposely listed in such a way, but the trope list in Namespace Index: Playing with contains a lot of duplicate entries from redirect, which makes things rather confusing, especially with regards to renamed tropes.

For example, the Improbably Female Cast takes up 3 namespaces: Improbably Female Cast, Pink Bishoujo Ghetto and Pink Bishojo Ghetto

Wondering if those duplicates can be removed because it's making the page needlessly cluttery.

The bigger issue with having Playing With pages be redirects is that they break the auto-indexing mechanism. I would cutlist them, especially if they don't have inbounds.

Well, most playing with pages have no inbounds, so is it safe to cutlist them all?

Yes, I believe cutlisting all Playing With pages which are redirects would be fine. If there are any odd cases where this might not be the case, bring them up here.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Huh, I see some cut pages are still listed in the Namespace Index (although the link would lead to a blank page). Is that a problem?

The only one I can find is PlayingWith.Pink Bishojo Ghetto, and that one is a redirect to a now cut page. I've cutlisted it.

Recently found several more duplicate Playing With pages and tried to cutlist them, but some of them got declined. Is there a reason why this may be?
