Why isn't AWinnerIsYou an ending trope?

I apologise if this is in the wrong forum; it\'s my first post here. I did search before asking, though!

I was looking at A Winner Is You today and realised that there were spoilers marked. I was a bit surprised at this as I figured that it would be an ending trope (in which spoilers go unmarked), but it\'s not listed there, and nor does it say that on the page itself.

Is there any particular reason this isn\'t an ending trope? Or is the fact that there are spoilers marked on the page an indication that that game itself shouldn\'t be on the page?

It's the right place. Don't worry.

It is listed on Ending Tropes. Did you look on A, rather on W? Articles (like "a" and "the") aren't included in the alphabetical ordering.

My guess about the spoilers is that while it is an ending trope, it's about something that pretty much lacks any substantial plot, so there aren't as many spoilers there as it would be in other ending tropes. There's usually no revelation in the end. Just that you've defeated the enemy you've always known was there. For that reason, there's not a lot of spoiler text that would make the page messy, and spoilering the spoilers that are there isn't a problem.

Fair enough! Yes, I did look under A; my mistake!

Thanks. I thought that might be the reason for the spoilers, but I wasn't sure.

Is that really the case? Because it's super inconsistent.

They should not be, and indeed our policy on alphabetization says this. A lot of tropers seem to fail at alphabetization, though.

It is consistent within how English typically alphabetizes titles.

It is also why I try to avoid giving tropes a name that begin with an article.

It's also an easy mistake to make when you're just ordering without actually reading the words.
