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.
Or at least could be moved to List.Brows Held High
OH MY GOD; MY PARENTS ARE GARDENIIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!!!
I'm pretty sure the List/ namespace
is deprecated. There have been other articles in that namespace that have been cut in the past.
I have never seen the web show and couldn't care less about this dude, but there is a page at TV Tropes dedicated to Brows Held High. If there's a work page devoted to the show, it does not seem to be that crazy to have an index of movies he's reviewed.
A list like that is better off in the description of Brows Held High and without indexing.

Well there are other such lists, not only for review shows, but for even Mystery Science Theater 3000, so this might be broad enough for a whole forum thread discussing them.

^ The MST 3 K list would also need to go. That isn't evidence that the practice is good or on mission. Moreover, there's been dozens of similar pages cut already and mods have already commented on the issue in ATT, though I can't link to the specific thread atm.
Such content is fitting for, say, Wikipedia or a fan Wikia site.
Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they pretty
although MST 3 K is definitely more list-worthy IMO
OH MY GOD; MY PARENTS ARE GARDENIIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!!!
I've actually always felt the MST3K list is somewhat problematic, because it seems to encourage the habit of people to trope the MSTing of those movies rather than the movies themselves, which (IIRC) we don't want.

Troping MST 3 K episodes should be fine as long as it is done in the right place. Which is not the original work's page, but rather in Recap.Mystery Science Theater 3000 . Also, I might add, that recap page pretty much makes a list of MST 3 K episodes redundant.
This signature says something else when you aren't looking at it.
It's meant to list the movies featured (which is what this thread is about), not the episodes that showed those movies.
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.
Listing the episodes featured is one thing, and listing works reviewed is yet another, but making that list into an index is something else entirely. It's completely arbitrary and unhelpful.
Unless there's merit in something like Referenced by... or Shout-Out except it's more like Reviewed By. But I personally don't see the point in that.

Someone obviously feels it is useful and helpful which is why the list was made in the first place, and why people have added to it.
Because of precedent, I would rather wait for a mod to comment. I mean, we don't seem to be going anywhere.
Also, fans would add to the list whether it was helpful or not. The question of helpfulness is whether the index is helpful for most readers looking for those works. Obviously, the answer to that question is no, since there's no real way of being aware of that reviewer's work unless you've already heard of them.

I don't see value as having a List/ namespace page devoted for chronicling what works are reviewed by another work. What value is taken from the review is tropeable material, which can be covered in regular subpages, especially Recap.
I agree. Yes, I proposed the index for the films on MST3K, but that was years ago, and like the reviewed by lists, there doesn't seem to be a real reason to connect those works.

Oancitizen List is an arbitrary list and should be cut. It is just a list of works reviewed by some guy on the Internet, as opposed to an official list or published list of some sort. There is precedent for removing this content from the wiki, as seen here
at the page type corrections thread, where we cut 19 lists that were similar.
