Same place as Arbitrary Maximum Range? This doesn't seem like rocket science. And by the way, the grammar in that trope description sucks. I can't believe nobody called you on it during the YKTTW.

Not that easy. Max range is a mainly space trope, while min range is not. Will look through other similar tropes to see if any more apply.

I'm fairly sure that Cape Busters, Demon Slaying, Mage Killer, and probably some other "anti-X" tropes that I forgot about can easily be placed under a single index, if not made subtropes of a single supertrope. On the off case that 1) Lost And Found cannot determine what would be the supertrope for those tropes is, and 2) it's determined that there's no good reason to create such a supertrope, I'd like advice on good names for an index for "anti-X" tropes.

I want to say "The Hunters" for such an index. It's common that a mage-hunter is also a Mage Killer, that a werewolf-hunter is a Wolfs Bane, even if they aren't specifically employed as such, the narrative purpose of the character is the "anti-X", as you put it.

Actually, I was describing that trope, in index form. Your suggested name sounds good, and after creation, should be cross-wicked with The Hunter.

Wait, it seems like there is an index for this: Big Trope Hunting. Not really sure if Mage Killer fits in there, though, since AFAIK it's not specifically about hunting mages.

Read the definition again: they may not be from an organization of Magic hunters, but they're very much used to hunt mages in the story.

I found a number of pages that are only on one or two indexes at most, and I figure they could use a few more.

Creator.Nicholas Sparks needs an index.

[up]Authors

EDIT PS: Sorry, that is wrong. He should actually be under Screenwriters. Also, the page should be rewritten to describe him as such instead of an author.

What about It Began with a Twist of Fate?

[up] Perhaps in Television, Creativity Leash or Production Process. I'm not sure, check if they could fit there.

Shouldn't it be on YMMV or Trivia, anyway?

It should be in YMMV, really. That was one of the old indexes, as well.

Ad Dissonance is listed on Absurdity Ascendant, but that index doesn't appear on the page and I'm not sure it belongs there. Where can it go?

Where could The Blizzard Of Odd go to? I can't seem to find any indexes for general Irish works.

I launched Signature Item Clue, after the original author had gone MIA for several weeks, and added it to the Mystery Tropes index. I didn't see anywhere else it would fit right away, but I didn't dig down too far due to needing to crosswick it once I'm done here.

Are there any other indexes where it would fit?

What kind of index does Heroes of Ardania belong on? I am not familiar with video game indexes.
