It was suggested at some point, but that's all.
An Ear Worm is like a Rickroll: It is never going to give you up.However, there's several proposals in the works. The punctuation is added by the Custom Titler (which has a bug or two) which isn't really usable for this. The YMMV mimicry is an interesting idea, but we've already got a pile of things we listed that could make use of it as well (Trivia, redirects, disambiguations).
Fight smart, not fair.Um, I'm honestly not sure if someone mentioned this (so if they did, please put the link to the post), but what about splitting TRS? A section for renames, a section for splitting, a section for description work (since the description thread is getting a bit backlogged, like the old image picking thread), and a section for multiple issues. And a thread that gets changed from one type can be moved to the appropriate one.
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.It was mentioned last year, when we were trying to clean out a mega-backlog in TRS. Here's
one of the reasons against a split.
How about tagging the threads to denote whether they are "Rename thread", "Rewrite/fix description", etc., and the tags manifest as icons on the TRS thread list, where you can also toggle the view to show only threads of a specific tag?
Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.Seems good, but who gives said tags?
Anyway, I think that allowing the threads to be stacked by wick number could make it easier to take the execution phase of a TRS thread.

What I mean is we can only start a new thread in the unsorted. If it's valid, then what is asked to be repaired gets moved by a mod to that section. If the thread changes, we can then ask a mod to move it again.

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.Actually, splitting of the split section seems like it would be the most effective.
Fight smart, not fair.That's interesting — TRS could have a dropdown box so you can tag a thread according to the type of problem the article has. Then we can have a matching view dropdown to show only those threads.
An Ear Worm is like a Rickroll: It is never going to give you up.I'm liking the tag idea. If that could show up on the TRS banner that shows up on the page too, that might be helpful.
Writing a post-post apocalypse LitRPG on RR. Also fanfic stuff.Like Madrugada sad in the thread linked to a few posts up, the favored solution for a particular page often changes once or twice over the course of the TRS thread. I don't really see that tagging specific threads will help anything. If I'm interested in the trope that's linked to the thread, I'll get in there. If I'm not, I won't.
Besides, usually people write "Rename" or "Clean up" or "Cut" or whatever as the thread title. We can enforce that practice, and mods can be asked to change thread titles to reflect changing solutions.
I think that splitting TRS into sub-forums will just make the whole process more work for everyone involved, and more opaque for new users. As it is right now, it's a one-stop-shop for all significant actions proposed for trope pages and occasionally works pages.

"Did anybody invent this stuff on purpose?" - Phillip Marlowe on tequila, Finger Man by Raymond Chandler.As said earlier:
People could title the threads with a "why" instead of a "what." Then use a check/drop-down box to signify what action has been decided on. There would be only one forum that you can chose to sort/search by action being taken.
At least, that is my interpretation/combination of the last few posts.

Trope obscured
Shows wrong trope
Fight smart, not fair.Does "Suggestion" cover "this image illustrates the trope better"? What else does it cover?
Also, what does "Trope obscured" stand for?

Bad quality

PS: Breaking this conversation, I think that the create conversation screen in TRS could use an explanation of what doesn't go in TRS.

"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanSuggestion includes anything where somebody believes they have an image that would unseat the current image, or lack there of.
Trope obscured is basically bad image composition where the trope is off in a corner compared to being the central part, which is where the image is focused.

Just finished catching up. Nice to see that the "feed" idea is sticking around.
There was another suggestion that I think was mis-interpreted but would work well. Frank 75 (554) asked if "it'd be possible to highlight links to to-be-renamed tropes somehow, just like YMMV tropes on main work pages." I have no idea what the coding would be like, but is it possible to make it so that "if the linked to page has a TRS banner, then the bullet point associated with (or the color of) the link is [insert noticeable change]?" Sort of like how
works pages are italicized, special characters are added, and the different color bullet points for YMMV tropes?I don't know if the temporary status of the TRS banners would make this be a major change in coding and it still would not be seen by everyone, but it is another way to solve the issue of alerting the general reader to major trope-name/trope-page changes without requiring them to go to the TRS thread or put every trope they are interested in on their Watched list.
EDIT:added the strike and corrected spelling
