Should I take silence as a lack of objections? If nobody's got a strong view on this and it doesn't break any rules, I'll try to get something set up in a day or two.
CG for short
Where's the cleanup thread for Ambigious Disorder/Diagnosed by the Audience again?

Where's the thread that deals with trope sub pages that are too short to be split off?
Yeah, that's it, TY!

Is there a thread for splitting work pages that cover multiple works into pages for each individual work?

uwu'd too hard
Is there a thread for character page cleanup or something? I just found a very bad one that I want cut.

Where's that one thread based around establishing potential trope connections? Like saying one trope is actually a subtrope to another?

lmao
What's the thread to discuss which folder on a trope page an example would go?
I started crosswicking for Laughing Jack and put examples in the Literature folder, but as I come across Magical Clown, there's already an example for Laughing Jack in the Web Original folder. Say if I move/reword it to go in Literature instead, where would the other example in the folder (SCP Foundation) go?
Edit: There's an LJ example on MonsterClown.Web Original too but it's zero-context so that can go lol
Edit 2: I'll go with Pages that need crosswicking for now.

No child should have to think of selling medication for food. Are you afraid?
Do we have a thread for questions on minutia of how the site works?
Like "Which namespaces interact differently with Related Pages? For example, Tropers/ doesn't broadcast its wicks."

Do we have a thread for Website cleanup? Website.Find A Grave doesn't seem narratively tropable?

Do we have a thread to talk about stub pages? I wanted to talk about Literature.Underworld 1997, but that linked thread is for custom title talk, so it seems off-topic?
And the Pages Needing Wiki Magic thread is about that page / index itself, not its contents, I think?
- Ah, right. Got that thread in my Follows so I know it.

Looking for a thread about creating redirects for works, or possibility of a work needing/having a redirect.
CSP Cleanup Thread | All that I ask for ... is diamonds and dance floors
the Retromancer
I don't think it needs one, because redirects for alternative / foreign work names are free launch. For any other questions just the normal thread is enough.
Where do I go to talk about what to name a page? I wanna make a page to gather IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming.Video Games examples from The Reconstruction, I Miss the Sunrise and The Drop under one series.
Not sure whether to call The Reconstruction Series, because Sunrise calls itself plain Reconstruction Zero, no "The".
