Skyline Gang has no indexes, and I'm not sure where to put it.

Seems like Theatre of the 2000s is appropriate, maybe later decades as well.

Fanfic.Drifting also has only one index. And 8 wicks. I guess I'll be doing indexing today.

I have way too many tabs and threads.

Index of Fictional Creatures lists The Imp, but that's not about anything named "Imps" but a Character Trope, right?

Remove or TRS?

Why are those the only two options lol. Remove, they probably mean Our Imps Are Different, no need to assume anything worse right away.

If you mean the genre I'd assume the same one Yandere Simulator page is at, so it's the Stealth-Based Game folder near the bottom.

Ah. And it's there already. ... Since it's a sub-page, shouldn't it be indexed at the top? And would that mean that Stealth-Based Games gets its own subpage?

Yes, pages that "has its own page" shouldn't be in a folder, and it's not indexed properly exactly because its line has two links.

Somebody look at the bottom of Nintendo Switch page. Video Game Systems, The Eighth Generation Of Console Video Games, Nintendo, and ImageSource.Photography should be the only indexes there. Please tell me it's indexed incorrectly 10 times because people don't use wikiwords for games in franchise lists. Every Video Game Systems page has this problem, but I thought I'd bring up how Egregious can it get when people don't add holes into index formatting and they catch unwanted pages.

I admit I laughed when I saw the Playstation index. [lol]

But yeah, the number of indexes has to be trimmed.

So, the new Good Bad Bugs subpage... Stealth-Based Game, or Stealth-Based Games?


[up] - And the Pikmin one is at least indexed wrong. I fix. And Pikmin 1 is a redirect. Nnn...

[up] - Ah. Miscellaneous Games is the only plural. I wasn't analyzing properly. Making GoodBadBugs.Stealth Based Game now.

And done cleaning Nintendo Switch.

Taking my time today to clean the indexing of the rest of Video Game Systems pages, because they all have the "*Game name (not redlinked): A Usefulnotes/Console game that..." somewhere, which captures the wrong page.

I am done with that and oh my god I am very tired.

I need to remember go through it a week late to see if someone moves the formatting incorrectly.

Creator.Melchior Wankowicz is on the Non-Fiction Literature index...

Probably should remove him. We don't have a page for Non-Fiction authors...


And Janusz Zajdel only has 1 index...

Status Effect-Powered Ability probably should go on Status Effects, but where? It's not a Status in and of itself... "Other Status Effects" perhaps?

Make a new category, "Other Status Effect-Related Tropes"?

Malady (Not-So-Newbie)
#1747: Mar 4th 2022 at 2:34:17 PM

Hmm, makes sense. Any ideas on what other tropes could go in that section? Hydro-Electro Combo perhaps, since either of its components could be a Status Effect.

Possibly Defend Command, since "Defending" is sort of like a Status?

Made that section since no one disagreed...


Most works should have at least 3 indexes, right? How to Create a Work's Page doesn't say, but I think so? Year of Creation based on Medium, Genre, and Nationality?

Exceptions being works of Art, since we don't have enough to split by year of creation or anything other than Medium?

Anatomy Arsenal has a bunch of weird ones with no context for their inclusion:

  • Electronic Eyes: Not necessarily weapons themselves, and shouldn't Eye Beams cover any weaponization of this trope?
  • Magical Accessory: An accessory by definition is something you put on or wear, not part of your body. I'm most confused by the inclusion of this one.
  • Powered Armor: Isn't this also just something you wear?
  • Rubber-Hose Limbs: Not a weapon, just an animation style. There's already Rubber Man in this for characters who literally have rubber bodies and fight with them.

I think maybe Electronic Eyes could remain with added context, but I dunno about the rest of these.

[up] I agree only Electronic Eyes in the list should stay on the index.
