History Administrivia / TropesNeedingTRS

* ILoveNuclearPower is not about loving Nuklear Power. It is about getting beneficial mutations and/or superpowers from nuclear material. All of its sister tropes are instead named "X Can Do Anything."

* SecondYearProtagonist: Attracts ZCE examples, as well as examples that are no more than "X is a sophomore." The freshman and senior struggles noted in the description can be tropeworthy concepts if not covered already.

* TurningIntoYourParent: Launched under the assumption that TurnOutLikeHisFather is narrower than the examples actually seem to be. Sponsor held off from crosswicking the new trope due to this concern.

* BigNameFan: Supposed to be about a fan who has a prominent role in the fandom, but most of the examples are about a famous person who just happens to be a fan of the work.

* MisterXAndMisterY: Trope concept potentially overlaps with old definition of ThoseTwoBadGuys (redefined by another TRS effort). Description is brief and vague.

* InvincibleVillain: yep, this gets misused for villains that are fought all the time but have a ludicrously high power level, and are defeated through combat in the end. This trope is not "a super-powered villain who takes a lot of planning and effort to defeat".

* OneMarioLimit: Attracts broad or FanMyopia examples which fail to demonstrate a name limit like Mario (such as "There will never be a character named X" without explanation), similar to the now exampleless SongAssociation. Also, this is mainly defined by what is ''not'' in the work, implying it is Administrivia/NotATrope.

* DidntSeeThatComing is being misused for, well, "a character was surprised by something" or for "a plot twist surprised the audience". Specifically, the trope is supposed to be that a careful plan goes to pieces because of something wholly unexpected. Basically, TheChessmaster who fails at XanatosSpeedChess.

* FalseReassurance: the IP thread on the topic makes clear that people have different ideas of what the trope is about. The name is misleading, in that any old false reassurance is not necessarily an example. Per the description, the trope is "deceiving people by telling the truth in a way they won't believe".

* PricklyPorcupine: While the description clarifies that porcupines (or any spiny mammal) is depicted in a stereotypical manner, it has examples of "porcupines in fiction". There's a notice added, but this trope could use a cleanup.

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: Most examples just describe the work's moral(s) with an implicit (or sometimes explicit) "[[Administrivia/RightingGreatWrongs this is important and more people need to agree with it]]". The "correct" definition (a work is improved by not being subtle about its message) is pretty much "{{Anvilicious}} [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools but in a good way]]". An effort to create a definition-only super-trope called "AnvilOfTheStory" was started and launched (after a very long delay), but it didn't do much for the misuse (yet).

* ViolationOfCommonSense: This is a video game trope wherein the game gives you the option to do something plainly foolish, then rewards you for doing it. Many of the examples, even on the page, are just "this works in a way I personally think is nonsensical".

* ILoveNuclearPower is not about loving Nuklear Power. It is about getting beneficial mutations and/or superpowers from nuclear material. All of its sister tropes are instead named "X Can Do Anything".

* PyramidPower is a mixture of "pyramids have a mystical power", "pyramids were built by aliens", "pyramids were built by ''slaves''", and "this work contains a pyramid". The last of these is obviously PSOC, but the trope description is such a mess that it's not clear which of the first three is meant.
* SchoolForScheming, as the trope description points out, isn't actually a school for scheming. Rather, it means that the school is a coverup for a scheme. So the trope name means something very different than the trope does (and the description is required to point out "yes, the name really refers to an AcademyOfEvil".
* TheScream. Well of ''course'' this page isn't simply about screams. It is instead a highly specific trope of "massively zoomed out shot of a scream". Predictably, a good amount of the examples are "somebody screams in this work".

* TrojanGauntlet: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1596035975056884100&page=1 On Image Pickin']], it was discovered that the page has a CreatorProvincialism issue -- the "Trojan" in the name refers to a brand of condom that's unknown outside the US, so the name ends up sounding like a reference to the TrojanHorse. The actual trope is "Embarrassing Condom Purchase".

* {{Wimpification}}: Name is nonindicative of its meaning (a strong character is turned weak in fanfiction in order to serve the submissive position in a {{slash|fic}} relationship), and can be easily confused for BadassDecay due to the dictionary definitions of "wimp". [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1593612732032518300 An unfinished thread for this, which was moved to the Morgue.]] The trope was originally named "{{Uke}}fication", a more explicit reference to fanfiction practices and terminology, but the name was changed after efforts to minimize the use of Japanese terminology in trope names.

* GenderNeutralNarrator: "Narrator doesn't have a gender because it's not important". If it's not important, is it really a trope?

* TheMaster: This is a list of characters named "the master". That is not a trope; it is a list of unrelated things that happen to have the same name.

* SecondYearProtagonist: Attracts ZCE examples, as well as examples that are no more than "X is a sophomore". The freshman and senior struggles noted in the description can be tropeworthy concepts if not covered already.
* TurtlePower: Defined as "Turtles are Awesome", which would be an outdated "Everything's Better with Turtles" in all but name, complete with a load of "This work contains a turtle" examples and a few examples that overlap with TurtleIsland, WiseOldTurtle, or other subtropes. There are enough examples of "Turtles are powerful enough to be a powerful opponent or ally in battle", so perhaps the trope could be salvaged into "Badass Turtle".

* EditingWorks: Nonstandard design. The concept (applying edits to raw footage) is very broad, like "hand-eye coordination".

* FamousLastWords: In practice, it's just a collection of ''every'' character's last words, regardless of how notable the character is or how famous the words are, or in other words, this is just "character says thing before they die". Additionally, this seems to be objective and subjective phenomena lumped into one, where "famous" could be InUniverse or the [[AudienceReactions audience's reaction]] to the line's "cool-ness." Discussed in [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15794620060A54617700&page=1#16 a Trope Talk thread]] and in [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/query.php?parent_id=88175&type=att this ATT thread.]] There was a previous TRS effort [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1370871959056646200&page=1 in 2013,]] where making it JustForFun was discussed.

* AnimationAgeGhetto ("cartoons exist that are not for children") is essentially the same as WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids ("works that people THINK are for children but are really not") except the former is limited to cartoons and the latter is for any kind of work. And then there is WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids, which ''sounds'' like sarcasm mode for the exact same thing, and it's really "works that ''the marketing department'' THINK are for children but are really not". Oh, and WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForLittleGirls is the same thing but limited to ''female'' kids. So we have four unclearly-named pages dealing with more-or-less the same concept. [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1597010610001425500&page=1#comment-19 This post]] from a mod on ImagePickin, while not marked as being posted with the mod hat on, said that WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids and WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids in particular are overdue for TRS threads, with wick checks being necessary for both.

* OurTimeMachineIsDifferent and TimeMachine: Two versions of "plot-relevant time travel device". The better description is on TM, along with over 800 wicks. OTMID follows the OurTropesAreDifferent naming structure, but only has about 80 wicks. The respective pages don't even seem to be aware that the other page exists.

* MurderersAreRapists: The page is medium-specific in a way that isn't a requirement, off-page wicks attract ZCE, and the name is very similar to our "All X are Y" tropes. It is incorrectly listed on Administrivia.DefinitionOnlyPages.

* {{Featurization}}: A poorly-performing duplicate of CompilationMovie that is incorrectly listed as a {{Administrivia/DefinitionOnlyPage|s}}.

* HigherSelf: The page describes a superego type concept, but combines both "moral" and "objective" judgements. Also incorrectly listed on Administrivia.DefinitionOnlyPages.

* MetroSpecificUnderworld: Just a list of stereotypes of gangs for specific areas, no explanation of the significance of the trope; has a non-standard page format. Also a poorly performing trope incorrectly listed as a {{Administrivia/DefinitionOnlyPage|s}}.

* LongJohnShoutout: Contains a low amount of wicks, pointing toward it being redundant with ReferencedBy.TreasureIsland.

* MiniaturesConversions: Listed as a Administrivia/{{Definition-Only Page|s}}, but it has been pointed out that there may be InUniverse examples.

* BrokenAesop: The trope is listed as an objective trope. However, given it is a bad writing trope, perhaps it would be better served as a YMMV trope.

Have a page you want to TRS, but there's too much backlog? Never fear- save those pages here!
