To-do list:

The Badass in Charge index has been merged with Authority Tropes because the former was being misused as a trope. Move wicks for Badass in Charge to a fitting Authority Trope if possible, or remove it if there isn't a more fitting trope.

Original post

Badass in Charge is an index of tropes about badass leaders, but its name makes people think it is a trope, and it has collected 700+ wicks, most of which are on character pages. Fixing this should be pretty simple: rename it to something along the lines of Badass Leaders Tropes, and dewick/move the wicks to the tropes listed on the index.

I mean, why shouldn't we have this as a separate index? I don't think it's redundant with Authority Tropes. A rename would be sufficient, I feel.

Personally, badass (or coolness I guess) is inherently associated with a lot of leadership tropes so I personally don't see why we would have a specific index for badass leaders. Also, badass is a meaningless qualifier at this point so I am not sure what ground we would cover if we decide to rename. Deadly Doctor, Silk Hiding Steel, Klingon Promotion, Dimension Lord, etc don't have that much in common besides the subjective "coolness" factor.

To be honest Deadly Doctor and Silk Hiding Steel seem to be shoehorned in (and I'm not sure about Badass Preacher either).

Calling in favor of merging with Authority Tropes.

Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.

OK, a lot of index entries were duplicates, so merging the indexes themselves wasn't hard.

The wicks still need to be cleaned up, and there are 755 of those.

Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.

Below 600 since most wicks were in the Characters/ namespace (and still are, since I was saving the largest namespace for last).

Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.
