An index page, on the other hand, is a tool meant to help organize the wiki by cataloging tropes according to their '''relevance, usage, and nature'''. While tropes on an index often do have similar names, it's certainly not the basis of the index. Especially since [[DarthWiki/FriendsOfReallyKoolSobriquet some people around here like to give tropes really weird titles]].

Note that indexes based on [[EverythingsWorseWithSnowclones trope snowclones]] are often allowed, even if only under the spirit of JustForFun. But they should contain a minimum number of tropes, which is somewhere around eight. It's also okay if a bunch of tropes with a proper index theme also happen to share the same word in their titles, as long as the index is about the theme, not that word.
