While it's been three days, I'm going to let this crowner run for at least one more day because I don't think any of the options had enough votes until after I bumped the thread and ATT bulletin.

All besides one having an unaniumous 12+ in the green should be a good sign and the points are hard to argue against, but I'm not against waiting more in case of sudden shinenigans.

That's taken care of. Is there anything left to do here? My main concern when making this thread was the fact that pages that should go on Definition-Only Pages or No On-Page Examples were placed here instead; if there are any problems with the entries that actually have to do with Playing with a Trope, we can take a look at those as well.

I think the only other thing mentioned is adding notes or a header why each of these are banned for visibility. "Mostly Omnipresent Tropes" at the top makes it sound like there are exceptions.

[up]Yeah, I agree that descriptors would be useful. Maybe the thread that created the index (which I think is on Wiki Talk) could provide some insight as to why each entry is listed the way it is, and if there's anything that doesn't have a clear reason for being listed, we can probably remove it.

Since the problem that led me to make the thread has been taken care of, I clocked the thread. If no other problems are brought up before the clock runs out (well, problems that require TRS, anyway), I'll close the thread.

There are no other problems that need to be taken care of, although a cleanup thread might be necessary.

Just link the mentioned Wiki Talk thread (I couldn't find it) for future reference and the rest of the work can happen there.

Vote up to move a listing to Definition Only Pages (if the entry says "definition-only") or No On Page Examples (if the entry says "on-page examples"); vote down to completely remove the entry without moving it.
