History Administrivia / TropesNeedingTRS

* HeroHarassesHelpers: The title makes it seem like this trope is about a hero pushing around {{the everym}}en or BadassNormal characters who get swept up in the plot, but it actually concerns the hero passively ''rejecting'' help, usually for pragmatic reasons (not wanting to endanger others, worrying that they'll be too much of an enabler, etc).

* UhOhEyes: Supposed to be a subindex, but there's no indication of that in the title; as a result, many have treated it as a trope. *

* WhyWeCantHaveNiceThings: The description and examples can't seem to decide whether the trope is "misbehavior that has collective negative consequences for a group" or "valuable object gets destroyed". *

* MysteriousAnimalSenses: The page only allows aversions and subversions, but it's not listed on Administrivia/NoStraightExamplesPlease. As discussed [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=17032774440.22554600&page=1#comment-16 here]], the original draft was about two distinct concepts: animals having senses that were on par with humans, and animals having better senses than humans in all regards. *

* IAmNotShazam: Is about when the main character in the work is mistakenly called the title of the work. Was named after a character formerly known as Captain Marvel, but now that the character's name is actually Shazam, it makes the title confusing. *

* ProtagonistTitleFallacy: Supposed to be for when audiences correctly identify what character the title of the work is referring to, but wrongfully assume said character must be the protagonist because they're in the title. However, it gets misused as a Administrivia/TheSameButMoreSpecific version of IAmNotShazam that is about people misidentifying the name of the protagonist as the name in the title, even on the main trope page. *

* ProtagonistTitleFallacy: Supposed to be for when audiences correctly identify what character the title of the work is referring to, but wrongfully assume said character must be the protagonist because they're in the title. However, it gets misused as a TheSameButMoreSpecific version of IAmNotShazam that is about people misidentifying the name of the protagonist as the name in the title. *

* HappyBirthdayToYou: It's unclear if it's supposed to be about birthday songs in general, or if it's specifically WritingAroundTrademarks for the specific song "Happy Birthday to You" (prior to a lawsuit invalidating its copyright claim in 2015). *

* SchoolForScheming: The trope name reads like it's literally about schools for scheming. It's actually about schools that are ''coverups'' schemes. In fact, the trope name reads so ambiguously that the description is ''required'' to point out that it's not about any [[AcademyOfEvil Academies Of Evil]]. *

* TanLines: The description implies that this is some sort of characterization trope, but the title just indicates "tan lines exist" and tends to attract examples that aren't very clear on the trope's meaning. *

* DeadHorseGenre: The description refers to "a music genre critics hate on principle", but the name leads to a lot of examples about genres considered overexposed, as well as "dead horses" that were beaten to death years ago and are not very well liked nowadays. The "genre critics hate on principle" thing can probably be merged into CriticProof, and the other one is likely redundant with CondemnedByHistory. *

* PublicDomain: A lack of copyright isn't really a trope, but it's still useful information to have on TV Tropes since the wiki has plenty of pages for works whose copyright has expired, along with some of the images that were chosen by Administrivia/ImagePickin not being copyrighted. Thus, it would probably be better suited to UsefulNotes than Main. Note that, if the page ''is'' moved to UsefulNotes, then it would need to be expanded and/or rewritten because it primarily focuses on American copyright law and doesn't sufficiently discuss UsefulNotes/FairUse. *

* PanderingToTheBase: Whether this is about a cycle among creators who renew/{{retcon}} properties to sway audience opinion in general, or the audience ''themselves'' preferring ContinuityPorn and other story breakouts is unclear. If it's the latter, it may be redundant with AscendedFanon and WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants, and if its the former, it may need to be split. "Public domain works were OnceOriginalNowCommon in regards to the once-limited focus on shipping, and the creators omit historical accuracy to increase that focus" seems like Trivia, and "The audience will pay attention to retcons, but won't react to them unless they're in sync with a revival/renewal" seems more in line with what [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/discussion.php?id=yficepja&trope=PanderingToTheBase the YKTTW]] had in mind way back when. *

* MandelaEffect: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13543987200A54420100&page=883#comment-22053 Noted]] as attracting nitpicking misuse, along with being poorly-defined. Check 50 wicks. *

* Level1MusicRepresents: Seeing the first level's music as the game's main theme (displacing the title screen's music in the process) is squarely an AudienceReaction, even in cases where later installments officially ascend the level 1 theme to main theme (as this is simply a response to the audience reaction). Even the page's own description acknowledges this as an audience driven process: "After all, chances are that people will spend more time on the first level learning the ropes rather than admiring the title screen".

* DiggingGame: No on-page examples have any context, so this page could easily be turned into an index. *

* DramaticHalfHour and DramaticHourLong: Both have been around since 2008, but only have 23 and 31 wicks, respectively. The latter doesn't even have any on-page examples!

* LongFormPromo: Failing to thrive (created in late 2009, only 3 wicks), may be a ForgottenTrope due to most examples of it occurring before 1990. Making the definition more general would likely make it collide with SuperBowlSpecial; as written, it could probably be merged with StationIdent.

* BackstabBackfire: Meant to involve a ''literal'' backstab that backfires--more specifically, the villain taking another swing at the hero despite the former sparing their life, and getting immobilized/killed, but some on-page examples/the majority of examples off-page use it in the ''figurative'' sense (i.e. ChronicBackstabbingDisorder or ILied without any involvement of mercy), even if the backstabbing spans the whole story. It's also been used in cases where the villain is just a CombatPragmatist]=/=]CorneredRattlesnake, and isn't necessarily trying to get one last shot at the hero so much as trying to usurp them for a title or breaking out the big guns. The root issue seems to be a combination of the name not being indicative enough, and a Administrivia/MissingSupertrope, where a villain tries to invoke the role of a KarmicTrickster, but fails for obvious reasons. *
