I added Badly Written Index.

EDIT: Morgan Wick really has a good point here.

Also, I could totally get behind requiring every non-supertrope index to have Tropes or Index in its name to discourage misuse.

[up]I was thinking of something like that too - but it's either Wiki Talk or Special Efforts business, where do we propose this?

Calling crowner in favour of Bad Writing Index. Make it so, number one.

I always wanted to say that

Moved Bad Writing and its subpages to Bad Writing Index and fixed the indexes, but I need help for the wicks.

Honestly, most of the wicks smell like misuse to me.

Got A-B done except an archive page. Now 170 wicks to do from now on.

Doing some wickwork, C-D done. Mostly I'm removing the wikiwords or changing potholes to a more appropriate trope. Most of the usage doesn't call for direct replacement with Bad Writing Index. I'm trying to avoid just changing 'Bad Writing' to 'bad writing' if I can help it, but in some places it's not worth the effort when I'd just be replacing it with weasel words that imply the same thing.

Got it done down to O, except for Double Standard which is locked.

I finished the wicks, Renamed Tropes and the FAQ thread. Got to close this now.
