I've noticed several people correcting misuse in edit histories, and have done some correction myself in passing whenever I notice misuse, but I don't know if anyone has gone about it systematically yet.

I think the consensus here is to make a new long term clean up thread. Do we have any volunteers to do so and to lay out what we're looking for as far as clean up?

Go forth then and make the thread in Long Term Projects. When you have it set up, post a link here, and I'll lock it.

Crown Description:
This is an advisory crowner to determine whether further discussion is necessary Does the inclusion of the following paragraph in the current definition of "Genre Savvy" make the trope too broad?There are two finely-distinguished varieties of genre savvy. The first comes from being familiar with fiction. A good example of this is the Scream series, where the genre savvy characters are savvy because they've watched horror movies. The other kind comes from being a character in some sort of serial fiction, and having a good memory. For example, many modern comic book superhero characters exhibit a lot of savviness, simply because they can remember all the weird things that've happened to them, and thus are not surprised when yet another evil twin shows up.
Background information: That paragraph was added in December of 2011 with no discussion anywhere that I can find any record of.
Please vote UP if you believe that valid arguments can be made for keeping that section and that discussion should continue; DOWN if you do not.

Seems like a good idea for such a perenially misused trope.
