| 1 | These trope names contain the word "[=MacGuffin=]". |
| 2 | |
| 3 | This is a potential source of confusion. For example, listing X as a DismantledMacGuffin may cause someone to think that X is a MacGuffin, even if X is really ''not'' a [=MacGuffin=]. A MacGuffin must be a device that does nothing except drive the plot. The DismantledMacGuffin trope doesn't care whether X did something more than drive the plot. |

| 5 | "[=MacGuffin=]" can appear in a trope name for different reasons: |
| 6 | |
| 7 | # The trope really does require a [=MacGuffin=]. |
| 8 | # The trope frequently happens with a [=MacGuffin=], but also works with {{Plot Device}}s that aren't [=MacGuffins=]. |
| 9 | # The trope uses "MacGuffin" as a fancy word for any important object, which doesn't match the rigorous definition on the MacGuffin page. |
