Added DiffLines:

TheLastTitle is said to be a Administrivia/SearchGeneratedIndex title trope and non-tropeworthy. This wick check will examine its tropeworthiness and number of [=ZCE=]s.

Wicks checked: 55/55.

* '''Quick wick check results:'''
** 43/55 or 78% are just [=ZCE=]s and chairs-y examples with little context.
*** 15/43 or 35% are just "the title/the name" and nothing more.
** 8/55 or 15% are examples that provide context than just the work's name.
** 4/55 or 7% are other unsorted examples.
\\

* '''Long analysis + final verdict:''' A lot of the examples are just repeating the work's title or just stating "the title/name" as context which doesn't add anything new that the reader can't already tell. Some examples, however, explain what "the last" refers to in the title or are an example of a work following this naming pattern more than once. The remaining examples are from descriptions and indexes.\\\

* '''Solutions:'''
** Cut, though it might be too extreme since providing context for the trope is possible and easy.
** Or index-ify it.

# Art.SistineChapel: Borrowing from the Biblical concept, the painting above the altar is called ''The Last Judgement'' and shows the souls of Earth moving to their final positions in the afterlife.
# Art.TheLastSupper: The title refers to the Passover dinner the Apostles are having as Jesus informs them one Apostle is a traitor. It gets the "last" in there because the apostle's betrayal ended with Jesus's arrest and crucifixion.
# Fanfic.TheLastWar: Though, as noted under NonindicativeName, it's unclear as to what the "Last War" of the title is.
# Film.LastVegas: The title refers to the advanced age of the protagonists meaning that the odds are good they won't get to do this again.
# Literature.TheLastHero: The Last ''Hero''. An unusually ambiguous example, in fact; the last heroes appear to be Cohen and the horde, but the title could as easily describe Carrot, a hero for a new era.
# Music.{{Evanescence}}: "The Last Song I'm Wasting on You", a hodgepodge of lyrical bits and pieces over a simple piano track. The "you" is almost certainly Ben Moody.
# MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic.TropesLToP: "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E14TheLastRoundup The Last Roundup]]", "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS9E14TheLastLaugh The Last Laugh]]", "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS9E12TheLastCrusade The Last Crusade]]", and the third part of the three-part GrandFinale, "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS9E26TheLastProblem The Last Problem]]". -- '''Naming follows a pattern'''
