Somebody help me put Ameritrash Games in the right index, because I find the "How to add an Index" page too hard to understand right now. It's not very user friendly and I would like to contribute more, but am locked out by my inferior coding skills.

What index do you want to put it on?

More importantly why do we even have this page?

Did you run it through YKTTW first? Didn't find it in YTTW

A rename and moving it to useful notes would be more appropriate then as a "trope"

I'm fairly sure that companies/series don't need a run through YKTTW first.

It's not a company or a series. It seems to be someone making an index of 'bad American style' board game.

Oh. In that case, yeah, definitely should've been run through YKTTW first.

It is currently indexed in game tropes. Really do we even need it though? I could see it as useful notes as it pertains to something that actually happened.

Right now it's overly negative and as someone who plays a lot of board games, doesn't really even describe the genre well. You could mention that the genre isn't as popular in Europe without mocking every perceived slight. I honestly think it should just be cut and if someone else wants to make a page about the genre they should take it to YKTTW and make it more than Complaining About Board Games You Don't Like.

that would be other option. I would be willing to let stay if ti was changed up with a rename and rewrite.

Or go the easy route and cut it and make them run it through YKTTW

Well, currently it needs a new everything so cutting it makes the most sense.

The person who does do it should probably include that there was consensus in this thread in addition to the other reasons just in case.

I went ahead and put it on the list listing the reasons and linking the discussion here.
