Crown Description:
Another Chekhov snowclone subject to misuse. What do we do?- Actual definition: Educational lesson delivered in a mundane manner (i.e. school) that saves the day later.
- Observed misuse: Any Chekhovs Gun that is delivered via dialogue.
Rename it
Standard rename proposal, includes wikilink cleanup.- Pro: More common in Edutainment than elsewhere, potentially splittable from Chekhov's Gun in general
- Con: ____________
Cutlist it
Merge good examples back to Chekhov's Gun and kill the rest.- Pro: Discredited snowclone family, misuse for Chekhov's Gun in general.
- Con: It has 150+ inbounds that would break. That's bad.
