Really a Useful Note: TV Strikes

TV Strikes isn't really a narrative device. It makes more sense as a trivia item (mentioning that a work was affected by a strike) or a Useful Notes page.

TV Strikes found in: 50 articles, excluding discussions.

Since January 1, 2012 this article has brought 810 people to the wiki from non-search engine links.

Yeah, I'm inclined to agree that this would work better as a Useful Notes page...if it's kept as a trivia item, it could possibly be renamed to Strike Casualty or Strike Victim and reworked to focus on the works themselves rather than focusing on the strikes.

I'd rather keep the current title, but convert it to a Useful Note anyway.

This might not be a proper trope, but it's at least relevant to work production and their choices in their narratives.

Yeah, definitely not a trope, but as Another Duck says, it's often relevant to works. I'm not sure whether it should be trivia or a useful note, but I think it should definitely be one or the other.

Well, we have the production-relevant UsefulNotes.The Hays Code, and this one can live there as well.

Possibly make it a trivia/useful notes hybrid, if those exist? If not, just make it trivia.

If it was to become trivia rather than usefulnotes, how would it be utilized without being just a specific form of Troubled Production?

Subtropes are specific forms of their supertropes. That's not inherently a problem. Troubled Production is very general about what kind of troubles, and having specific subcategories isn't an issue any way I see it.

I agree with AmourMitts on keeping the title while making the page a Useful Note.

Useful Notes works best here since it's typically pretty disconnected from specific works. The Trivia trope of Strike Casualty that Willbyr brought up is better off as its own thing.

I'm on board with turning it into a Useful Notes with the current name.

I'm still fine with either useful notes or trivia, but the arguments presented have me leaning towards useful notes.

Seems like there is a consensus to go with useful notes.
