Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
The usual is to break them down alphabetically. Exactly how in this situation, I'm not sure.
That is a long description (at least on mobile.)
One way to help until the page can be split is to clean it up. Natter, Conversation on the Main page, Word Cruft, and such can add a ridiculous amount of text.

I thought a forum thread had declared "current decade" retrospectives verboten on the basis that, we can't look at the current decade objectively.
Link to TRS threads in project mode here.
That sounds vaguely familiar, but I don't remember more than that.

I considered splitting the trope list regarding sociopolitical tropes and pop cultural tropes, but with the clusterfudge of political events of 2016, the overdosed trope list overwhelmed me, so it didn't came to pass.

That compared to the Turn of the Millennium page.

Would it be fair to say then maybe at least make pages for "works made during this decade"
There's already a bunch of "works from this decade" subpages (with links hidden beneath probably-redundant folders), including Films of the 2010s, Literature of the 2010s, Series of the 2010s, etc.
One thing we might want to sort out is if Anime of the 2010s should be renamed to Anime and Manga of the 2010s... That would allow a bunch of examples to be moved.
Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.
>.<
Yeah, pull those links out into the light of day and nix the folders.

My specific concern was that i was trying to add a web video work that came out in the 2010s but it doesn't seem like their is a Web Original of the New Tens made yet. Do you think it would be a good idea to make pages for mediums that don't have newten pages yet (replace those particular folders with a link to the medium page).
That's generally discouraged unless the Main page is strictly an index. Splitting off larger folders into their own pages, or alphabetizing into subpages, is more the norm, to allow room for the smaller folders on the page.

So don't make a Web Original of the 2010s page?
Not if it's going to be one example.

One example? There is whole bunch of web originals listed on the page
Ah okay, I read 'no web original' as no folder, not no page.

so does that mean you would be ok with a "web originals of 2010s" page then since there are definitely enough examples to start one?
This calls for a TRS.

I -my non-mod- self, would be okay with it.

What are the exact grounds for taking it to TRS?

This was also being discussed in the Too-Long Page Repair thread here
Splitting the discussion to ATT, TRS, and the projects thread seems silly...
Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they pretty
It can be taken off ATT and to one of the other threads, though. This threads getting long.

Yes, please take further discussion elsewhere. Locking.
I noticed when clicking edit on The New '10s index that a message comes up saying the article is too long and should be broken down into multiple. Should we make the "works made during this decade" folder into a series of pages? Alternatively, pages for "works set during this decade"? Or Both or some other option
