Not Tropeworthy: Everythings Better With Spinning

Can the crowner be called?

Do we have a trope for "spinning-based superpower"? There are least 2 on that page that I know of: one in One Piece and the other in JJBA.

Made a crowner for the rename. I couldn't think of too many suggestions (and one of them, Spinning Is Cool, was suggested by someone else in an older Garnishing the Story-related TRS thread), so feel free to add more.

I just added "Spectacular Spinning" to the list of possible names.

I actually like that better.

Call the crowner?

Not enough votes. Ten is usually the minimum.

It's 13 to 1 now.

Now that I finally finished one TRS wick cleaning project, I finally did the move.

1658 wicks, including some from another redirect.

I took care of at least some of the indexing. Literary Agent Hypothesis is my main TRS project right now, so I'm mainly focused on that for now.

Edit: Neglected to mention that I fixed the Main.Everything Is Better With Spinning redirect (note the lack of a contraction) to point to the new name.

I'll deal with the no-contraction redirect first, since it's more manageable.

I'm leaving Sandbox.Arial, as it's a Troper's sandbox. I messaged the owner with what's going on, plus some other important stuff. Whenever I finish clearing out the other wicks for the "is" redirect, I'll cutlist leaving a redlink on that page.

Edit to add: What's helping speed up the cleanup are instances in which both versions of the redirect are used on one page. Due to how I set my "find on page" query, I could also correct the one with the contraction, as a head start of sorts.

The "is" redirect is done!

That leaves one redirect to worry about now. 1454 wicks to sort through.

Took a break from this to tackle another TRS project, but now that that was done, plus I finished up a segment of another, resuming wick cleaning.

What was the goal of the wick cleaning, again? Genuine question.

Looking through wicks to Everything's Better with Spinning and replace them with either Spectacular Spinning or a subtrope thereof, depending on context. No context? Axe the wick.

Still got 1145 to go.

Down to 1137. Trying to finish the Main/ wicks today.

To be honest though, most of the wicks I am finding on the related to page better fit Spin Attack or some other spinning trope and the rest are just about something or someone spinning without there being enough context for me to tell if it is for coolness or not. And it's the same thing with the on page examples.

I think a better course of action would have been to just have it has an index and cut examples instead of it being a Rule of Cool subtrope but the ship for that has sailed I think?

Okay, no takers.

Time to migrate to the stalled TRS thread and close.
