  • It's not an index - at least, it's not functioning as one.
  • It's got no OPEs, but also does not appear to have been given an Example Sectionectomy.
  • Pretty much every wick I've checked so far has been just a pure ZCE, some with an added count (often outdated) of how many other works are using the same episode title.

"What is Stock Episode Titles" - a TRS candidate...

It seems to document numbers of episode titles using certain terms, but there very few actual examples listed. Someone could go in there and add some to make it more like Stock Subtitle.

It has an archived discussion and TLP/YKTTW draft https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/discussion.php?id=j2g59i4v&trope=StockEpisodeTitles

What it is is a legacy of the bad old days of the wiki when you could just throw lists of random stuff that happens a lot on there without regards to whether it's a functioning trope page or even an actual trope...

Well, I made Sandbox.Stock Episode Wick Check to give us an idea of what we're looking at. Since it came up, I looked over Stock Subtitle and it's wicks. Ended up making Sandbox.Stock Subtitle Wick Check because I ended up with questions... and Oh, dear. It's as bad, if not worse than Stock Episode Titles from a wicking standpoint.

I'm now considering running them through TRS as a matched pair, since they are very much Fraternal Twins. My first feeling is that they want to be indexes. Thoughts/feedback?
