Got a request to call the crowner, but I see there are two mutually contradictory options with identical ratios (15:6 and 10:4). Does this call for a runoff? The third option with consensus is compatible with either of the two contradictory ones.

[up] Yeah, let's do a runoff for those two options and call for merging Bullet Index.

Okay, that merge is done; only one item wasn't on the Guns and Gunplay Tropes.

Setting up a single prop for the runoff.

"Artistic License" meanwhile has a history of causing confusion as it's not clear whether it's about any error or about errors that benefit the story.
I was under the impression that this was deliberate because knowing the difference requires knowing authorial intent, which is problematic to impossible. So AL is about any error, and the error is assumed to be intentional in order to tell the story.

So would the next step be to copy/paste the off-page examples that don't fit a subtrope onto the index page in order to make it a trope page?

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

You know, I was thinking about a trope about that screams "THAT'S NOT HOW RELOADING WORKS AT ALL" regarding certain firearms such as shotguns. Which trope fits?

I've done the crosswicking and expanded the description. I'll going to lock this as "done" unless objections arise.
