I wasn't sure how to reply in the "Trope Repair: Complaining" workshop thread (if possible), but I went ahead and removed the paragraph explaining why this trope can be annoying as it wasn't adding much else anyway. (that paragraph hasn't changed much, if it all, since launch)

If anything, all this page needs is an improvement in the description, and there's already a forum thread for this.
135 - 158 - 273 - 191 - 188 - 230 - 300
There are a lot of examples here that have nothing whatsoever to do with Unlockable Content. As I understand it this trope is not about "you need to do more than one thing to get this item/skill/spell/whatever" so those should all get deleted.
Just thought I'd ask for opinions before gutting the example section. Anyone disagree?

Your reasoning is sound. Repair at will.
See you in the discussion pages.
Done. Left a few where I wasn't sure. Like the Kirby/Smash Bros challenge thing that from the description sounds like "unlocking" level 2 by beating level 1 but I haven't played the games so I can't say.
