Needs Help: More Dakka

Nearly every trope with a name that included a stock phrase or quote from a work or piece of media was renamed. Why not "More Dakka"?

Warhammer 40K is much less well-known than other properties that had tropes renamed. As a test, ask a group of six to ten people you know, who are not tabletop wargamers, if they have ever heard of the term "more dakka".

My sense is that the main page is curated by dedicated Warhammer fans. I understand that, as a huge ttrpg fan myself. But the tropes named from that game were changed, weren't they?

Having a trope with a name that is a stock phrase goes against the revised naming guidelines from way back. This one slipped through—it's about time it were changed to something less work-specific, like Wall of Bullets or Machine Gun Storm.

Pardon, ~Mattachine, but for a trope with over 4700 links on-site and 45500 off-site we need a better argument for renaming.
