^ ...Well-Intentioned Extremist?

I think that's a subtrope (to wit, it wouldn't have made much sense if I'd said the OP was a Well-Intentioned Extremist; nobody suggested we choose the most disruptive troper of the month and execute them). Anyway let's not derail the thread...

Pretentious quote || In-joke from fandom you've never heard of || Shameless self-promotion || Something weird you'll habituate toThat's not the point. Honestly, what good or productive value do you expect to come from tropers giving out dubious honors for user activity and generated content? How does that actually sound like something that would be fun?
Like I already said, I (and I'm sure other tropers as well) don't create content here or pitch in on the fora to help out around the wiki for the sake of getting awards; I do it for love of the wiki. How would a handful of tropers deciding to shine a special light on one particular contribution out of over 80,000 other pages actually enhance the fun around here, and why isn't just making an honest contribution not satisfiable enough?

Edit: Seriously? How Did We Miss This One?!
Because we don't have a page on every saying that has ever existed, ever? Seriously, is that even tropable? It might be an index containing Well-Intentioned Extremist, A Simple Plan, Three Is Company... hell, a metric buttload of sitcom tropes, to the extent that even as an index it might be too inclusive to be useful. /end derail

"Good intentions lead to disastrous consequences" is very much a trope.

This is one of the temptations
that just has to come up at one point in a community's lifespan. It sounds like a good idea, but nothing good will come of it.
