It's not about popularity per se but about sheer number of examples.
Four is not that many.
i think trolls might be suffering from a bizarre form of Entry Pimping; it seems one particular user, Inky100, is insistent on making subpages because it's possible even if it isn't necessary. besides LogoJoke.Trolls, here's a rundown:
- Analysis.Trolls is blank
- DarthWiki.Trolls and SugarWiki.Trolls are just used to list YMMV tropes—and Not Safe for Work, for some reason. isn't NSFW supposed to be a definition-only page?
- DrinkingGame.Trolls and its subpages are clearly stretching for things to "drink" for—"Whenever you get a Squick, Narm or Tastes Like Diabetes feeling" is on all of them—and also, oddly, provides non-alcoholic alternatives
- FanficRecs.Trolls is blank; FanWorks.Trolls only has one entry and multiple blank folders
- Haiku.Trolls is blank
- WhatCouldHaveBeen.TrollsWorldTour has been brought up before as not exactly being necessary given that there's already a tenuously-necessary WhatCouldHaveBeen.Trolls page
- GravityIsAHarshMistress.Trolls is probably the strangest of all, since Gravity Is a Harsh Mistress is such an omnipresent cartoon trope you don't have to single out every single instance of it on its own subpage
there's a few other oddities besides that which are still valid but definitely read like someone hoping to pad out subpages to make the series look more important than it really is, like Recap.Trolls (which has subpages for all of the individual entries in the series, kind of defeating the point), Timeline.Trolls (the extensive and confusing timeline of the trolls universe?), and Memes.Trolls (most YMMV pages have longer "memetic mutation" sections than this). i'm not exactly sure what to do with all this, but it's really strange.

All of those blank subpages can just be cut, including FanWorks/ because an index should never have only one item on it and Memes/, the content of which can just be put on the main YMMV page, and the two What Could Have Been pages should be merged.
And on the subject of Not Safe for Work, DarthWiki.Trolls actually links to DarthWiki.Not Safe For Work, a joke page that almost looks like it's meant to mock people who misuse Nightmare Fuel and Getting Crap Past the Radar.
No, FanWorks/ is like YMMV, where you only need one example. Most of the the others are still problematic, although I admit to not spending the time to fix them yet.
Link to TRS threads in project mode here.Okay, it's been corrected now. Thank you for hearing me.

Is Trolls popular itself to deserve that treatment? Or is it something to be corrected?
