In uffish thought
The listed thread about laconics is a morgued one. Please add Laconic Description Improvement, either as a second one or to replace the current link.
Wandering...
Is there a thread for Artistic License pages cleaning projects? or those pages' wick cleaning projects? I noticed there's a lot of wicks to the old names and there's even a few AL pages that still reference the "you fail" naming pattern that was deemed not-okay.
There was one, but it was archived in early 2013 during the Special Efforts split.

BFG is still getting misused as any ol' big gun after I sent it to the TRS and added a whole additional paragraph to the description. I've been zapping misuses when I see them (for example, just killed one in the image caption for Awesome, but Impractical), but since I've seen people adding new ones I'd like to start a full wick cleanup to discourage it. Is this the right place?

A wick cleanup is generally a finite project, so it would go to Short Term.

I want to make thread about cleaning about the Weapon Of Choice subtropes. Would that belong on long term projects forum?

Fixed.

You want "Long Term Forum", and I would say yes.

Please ignore this post.
How do I get Hollywood Tactics unlocked so I can edit the description involving Frontline General, if not just potholing that?
By asking for an edit in the Frequently Asked Questions "edit requests for locked pages" thread.

Remove Supertrope/Subtrope Example Sorting from the directory? 'Cause that's been locked?
Or is this not maintained anymore?

What should I do for a page (specifically Animesque) whose examples are messed up in multiple ways?
I read through the examples and they are full of Zero-Context Examples, 404 Errors in the potholes, and it's all in all just a disorganized mess with examples in the wrong order and wrong folders.

I guess, sure? I will do that actually.

Where would you go for an example that's... not really an example, just "this isn't used much in this medium but could be used in something similar to X work/series"?

Gentleman Troper!
Evil Overlord List is in the main namespace, but it's not a trope; it's a work. As in, it is the literal transcript of a Web Original work of the early internet era, complete with copyright notice at the bottom. Is it possible to move pages to a different namespace, without having to go through TRS? If so, where?
Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!
^ - Yes, the mods can do it, if you know where you want it to go.
The Locked Pages Request Thread is where you put the request:
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=gsjp7dldjh2dwdelcha2hu17&page=946#comment-23647
Bonnie's Artistic Cousin
...Or you can just manually cut the page and move the content yourself while losing the history. Just sayin', the mods aren't required, just useful.
Current Project: Incorruptible Pure Pureness
That would be Removing Gushing From The Wiki.
