Opened.
Since the curly braces don't work with workshop threads, will remove them so the page can be tagged.

Yeah...this as a trope needs to die. It's one of, if not the most subjective trope ever (and it burns so well too!)
Merging Trigger with Trauma Button sounds like a good idea. Any discussion of triggers in regards to popular media is already serviced by the UN page.

I agree with Morgenthaler and crazysamaritan on this one. Given the serious nature of the subject and the fact that we don't want to have a Flame Bait, I think this trope should not be used on wiki pages.

Merge it with Trauma Button.
Yeah, Trauma Button seems to sum up everything trope-worthy about it. Seconding the vote to merge.

A merge sounds like a plan. Adding my vote for that.

Ditto. Wondering if we have a Trigger Warning trope, though - not for the In-Universe aspect but for those on works, such as the one mentioned in the Worm example.

splice it like a teleportation experiment gone horribly wrong!
I agree with Merging (and possibly going with Trauma Trigger as a name instead of button since it's the real life medical term).
The situation now just seems like a case of the same trope page somehow getting made twice under differnt names.

A month with no dissenting voice? Beginning the merge.

Page moved (indexes pointing at Trauma Button and examples on that page). Wicks, discussion, and Trope Rename thread yet to be done.

Looks like nobody's changed the wicks yet...
Should I make a TRS about renaming or should we do that here?
I'm still in support of changing it to Trauma Trigger since trigger is the actual medical term and makes the intent more clear to avoid this kind of misunderstanding.
It'd be its own thread. And you'd need to provide evidence of an actual issue.

I think the the fact the confusing name lead to Trigger being made an entirely different trope constitutes the issue and the change would be proactive to stop something like that from repeating itself.
If there's an actual term we should be using it to avoid those snafus.

I've been idly working on the wicks in dribs and drabs, and I've found a moderate amount of misuse for Berserk Button as well as...one other trope which I can't remember at the moment, but as soon as I do, I'll add it to this post for future reference (for me, if no one else
).

Well, with the exception of one ghost wick, all the wicks have been moved over to Trauma Button.

All right then. Calling this done.
Edit: I have noted the merge in the discussion tab.

The similarity between Trigger and Trauma Button were brought up in Ask The Tropers. As it stands, Trigger's description tries to be about the narrow application of the word to Post-Traumatic stress response, while acknowledging the word is much more flexible. Trauma Button, on the other hand, is written more from the storytelling perspective of character reactions.
Trigger has apparently been under review in the past; see page discussion and the fact that most of the old description has been moved to Useful Notes, where it explains the various types of triggers and their Real Life effects/connections.
~Fighteer's opinion in the ATT thread was that we should not be using the term for this trope, given the serious nature of the subject and the Hollywood Psych treatment in fiction.
