Just to be sure, did its meaning change at some point? (was it misused, etc.)?

Because last I checked the original trope, it was about Happy Ending Override (or possibly Sequel Reset, I'm not sure of the difference, these may be duplicates), rather than Was It Really Worth It?...

Should the redirect be changed?

Meta Four changed it one day after it was created.

Now I'm confused, because what is linked is a redirect to another trope. Is this something that was created recently and dealt with summarily in another thread or what?

EDIT PS: Does anyone have a what was on the page before it got turned into a redirect so we can compare them and decide if it is really the same thing or not?

No, it was dealt with in September 2011. Medinoc is asking why the redirect was changed.

[up]Anyone have a link to the old page pre being turned into a redirect and/or the conversation where the decision was made to do so?

Thanks.

So Happy Ending Override is the official new name, but the old name was deviated to Was It Really Worth It? due to rampant misuse. I got my answer, then. I guess the thread can be closed now, and free a valuable TRS slot.

Thank you very much, all.
