If you don't know what Whoa Bundy means already, take a guess before looking.

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.

I'm guessing it's something tangentially related to Married With Children. Beyond that,I have no clue.

ETA: Hell, "tangentially? No. It's somewhere on the same homework paper, but not even close.

I knew what it was because I'd seen Married With Children. Needs a rename. I don't know much of anything about sports, but I assume there's a name for this. Go Team would be the only suggestion I could make.

Fight smart, not fair.

Go Team is a much better name, commonly used for this in sports both in Real Life and in fiction if I'm not mistaken. Plus, I initially misread it as Whoa Buddy, like someone holding someone back from doing something stupid "Whoa there buddy, I wouldn't do that if I were you."

I say, let that YKTTW launched, then merge the Whoa Bundy examples under the new name, image pic, and description, with a note that it can also include saying "whoa"

"saying Whoa like a sports team" and "stacking your hands on each other" definitely shouldn't be different tropes, but in the current forms, they sound exclusive.

Definitely needs to be named "Go Team".

Split the difference between Hand Stack which could be the romantic gesture (like this), and Go Team which could be the stock phrase — It's a Team Hand-Stack

Seconded; I was originally thinking something along the lines of Huddle Shout, but go with Team Hand-Stack

The Repair Shop Notification on the main page isn't working... or is that just for me?

No, the new widget that adds the notification automagically when the trope name is linked in the thread title appears to have broken the old-style ones.

^ I just made a small list of these that are on the trope pages. Should I do something with them?

Make a thread in Tech Wishlist. I'm sure there are quite a few, and that way other folks can add to the list when they spot one.

Launched Team Hand-Stack. Should we follow through with Superior's idea of merging the two? Maybe make Whoa Bundy a redirect or something?

Yeah. they aren't substantially different, the description on Team Hand Stack is better, and it has a more complete example list. Whoa Bundy has 10 wicks total, including an entry in the Title Bin, five indexes, and itself. And it has 17 inbound links since February of last year — less than one a month, on average. There's no need to even keep it as a redirect.

^ Though Team Hand-Stack has only one wick, and even if someone would cross-wick the current examples, it still wouldn't have that much, so those 10 more could help.

^Team Hand-Stack was just launched an hour ago; number of wicks shouldn't be a concern for it at the moment.

And it should be on four of the same five indexes; the only one it shouldn't be on is TropeNamers.Live Action TV
