This is despite the fact that the Administrivia page itself explicitly says that users are still welcome to use the TropeLaunchPad for work pages, it just ''isn't mandatory'' to do so.

* GenreKiller: Stock phrase titles were never good trope namers to begin with, but two tropes can be traced to this titling convention's ultimate downfall: '''I Eat Metaphor For Breakfast''' and '''WhatYearIsThis'''. [[Administrivia/TropeRepairShop TRS]] threads for both ended up [[MinorCrimeRevealsMajorPlot uncovering a massive epidemic of]] Administrivia/TropeDecay involving stock phrases. As a result, in mid-2011 it was decreed that Administrivia/NoNewStockPhrases would be used as trope titles.
