Is there any way we can get a list of all previous threads on a topic easily? Even better would be if it automatically came up when you launch a thread for it.

For example, someone starts a thread "Clean Up: Xanatos Gambit." Thread does its thing and is eventually locked. Then someone else starts a thread later "Does this need cleanup?: Xanatos Gambit" and they get a link to the old thread.

Search Forum Titles.

Right at the top of the page. It will search on any string you enter. It doesn't have to be a full word. It will find everythread that mentioned Xanatos Gambit in the title if you search on "xana". It's true that it will also return some false positives, threads on Xanatos Roulette or Thirty Xanatos Pileup, but unless you search on an incredibly common string, it's dealable.

Yes, but because of the article-tagging, most repair threads won't mention what article they're about in the title.

It still works on the tagged-format threads if you enter the trope name as a wiki word, or use a partial string.

searching on (xana) gives this list:

  • Just For Fun: My new friends know Xanatos Gambit
  • Real-ish: Xanatos-Gambit driven story idea.
  • Wiki and Forums: Xanatos Gambit
  • Wiki and Forums: How should Thirty Xanatos Pileup examples be written?
