Idea: Death count subpages for horror movies

If this isn't the right board for suggestions, feel free to move this thread and/or point me where I can make this suggestion. :3

I was thinking that perhaps pages for horror movies could have a subpage for death counts, cataloging how many deaths are in a given horror flick and how the characters buy the farm.

Sound like a good idea to anyone?

Seems fairly pointless to me, honestly. I don't feel that it has anything to do with tropes.

Maybe as a Just for Fun type of page or pages. But as a specialized sub page I have to agree it would serve no real purpose other then amusement.

It would fit on a trivia subpage. But a dedicated subpage? It's kind of going off mission for the wiki...

I actually like the idea of doing this as a Just for Fun page. I've already begun working on one. XD

Maddies suggestion is also a good one.

I don't see why we can't do both. X3 I'm focusing on the JFF page, though.

I already have some work done on the page. Feel free to contribute, if you want. :)

Why not have both? Because it

1) It will be confusing if some works have the death count on Trivia and some have it on a Just For fun page.

2) Some pages will probably get duplicate, with the information in both places, because someone put it on the trivia page and another editor didn't see that it was there and made the Just For Fun page (or vice versa).

3) it's pointless and a waste of storage space to duplicate the same information in two places.

I've indexed and pagetyped it.

May as well. Doing it that way, add a link to each works pages pointing at it.
