As long as those 21 tropes have context, you're solid.

Given there are Fanfic, Film, Wrestling, and even Troper pages, all of which appear unrelated to one another, you may want to tack release year onto the page you make to avoid future subpage crashing.

In other words, rather than VideoGame.Supernova, you'd want VideoGame.Supernova 1980, or whatever year it came out in if that's not the Supernova you're out to trope.

I agree with adding the year. (Ideally, the other other three non-Troper pages would have some sort of disambiguation as well.)

Edit: VideoGame.Supernova 1987 is where it would go. The history for what used to be there says it was released then.

^ Ah. I found 1980 when I did a quickie search.

I've asked for help on the other pages on the Making disambigs for works that share names... thread.

^Maybe it's a different game. I know that the game called Creepy Castle we have a page for isn't the only game with that title — there was also an unrelated black and white Apple Macintosh game released I think in the '80s.
