There isn't, well there is, in that the former is about errors and the latter is about a setting.

There isn't a difference according to the description through and even if it was, Prehistoria is just a broad term for works set in ancient times. One Million BC is more specific, and Hollywood History is more broad. Prehistoria is redundant, I'm putting it on the cut list.

Well, if Somewhere A Paleontologist Is Crying is one of the You Fail tropes (I assume it is anyway) shouldn't we split off a Cavemen And Dinosaurs setting?

Fight smart, not fair.

Prehistoria is supposed to be a video-game only setting trope, as in a level with volcanoes, jungles, and dinosaurs as enemies. Like Dinosaur Land in Super Mario World.

I'm sorry for not mentioning that earlier but yes it was supposed to be a video game trope, but the description became about historical inaccuracy and what people believed in real life then started adding non video game examples, becoming the same thing as One Million BC which also has video game examples, so the pages are functionally the same. Why keep two?

In that case, chop Prehistoria back to being strictly about the Video Game Setting. Same as we put general inaccuracies about the use of lava in Convection, Schmonvection, but the page for the Video Game Level setting is Lethal Lava Land.

Fixed the entries, moved the Lost World and One Million BC examples to their respective pages. Reworded the heading and description to make it clear this is a video game trope. If anyone can do a screenshot montage of such levels like on the other video game setting pages, that'd help too.
