Not that kind of doctor
What determines whether a trope page is supposed to be alphabetized? The page Hilarious in Hindsight/Film is marked as "most examples are not alphabetized," but that's a subpage of a trope, and I was under the impression that tropes were generally organized by medium with newer examples on the bottom. Does that change once a particular medium gets its own subpage, i.e., once it gets classified as "Trope/Film" rather than a folder on the "Trope" page?
E.g., In How to Alphabetize Things, it says that works pages and indexes are supposed to be alphabetized with no mention of trope pages. And How to Write an Example says "Most pages for tropes are sorted by medium[...]If the page is organized by medium/genre, put a new example in as the last example in that medium/genre."

"Newer examples at the bottom" is only one possible sorting style. It's not the preferred one though.

Hi
In regards to Public Domain Artifact - the items that are under each folder need to be organized by the media that use them. It's going to take a little bit of reformatting of the lists, but it shouldn't be terribly difficult.

Hi
Just wanted to say Hello! and thank everyone who's been helping with this page. What I've been doing is hitting the Index page, going through an index, and adding unsorted pages as I find them...no idea what system anyone else is using that's adding pages.

Thanks again to everyone for the work. I've been edit banned for a while, but I'm back in action and will be starting work on the indexes again soon.
Regarding Captain Geographic: I've done a lot, but it could use some more cleaning up, especially on wording of examples.
