It's time to play Guess That Trope Definition! Link's up above.

Ready... go!

Back? Hands up if you were expecting something closer to Catapult Nightmare and/or rudeness on the part of the person actually waking up the target. Perhaps a title closer to Armed Awakening would work better here.

For the record:

Rude Awakening found in: 5 articles, excluding discussions.

This title has brought 14 people to the wiki from non-search engine links since 20th FEB '09.

I dislike the current Rude Awakening name because I think it is too broad for the actual trope itself and is somewhat confusing since the person who is being rude per se seems to be the one who just becomes awake rather the wakener.

I made a single proposition rename crowner here.

That's a bad name.

I agree that the name is too broad. I thought of Instant Attack Mode, but that's too broad too. :/

Given that there are no votes against renaming in the single proposition crowner and it has been a few weeks, I made an alternative titles crowner here. Feel free to edit it, add titles, and point out any errors I may have made in constructing it.

I also added the name, Attack Your Awakener, since from what I can tell, awakener is the correct term to use.

Calling the crowner at +8 (yeas:10 nays:2) 5.00 : 1 in favor of renaming to Wake Up Fighting.

This thread will not be locked until the actual move is complete.

That means that all of these things are done:

  • The Main Page needs to be moved to the new name, and the old name made a redirect.
  • The Discussion page needs to be moved. Holler for a mod once the new name page is in place and we'll moved it.
  • The wicks need to be corrected. All 8 of them.
  • It needs to be added to Renamed Tropes.
