Is there somewhere I can go for Informed Wrongness? There's an entry I found that I'm debating on deleting because it misses an important detail that, as far as I'm concerned, undeniably proves the "informed" wrongness with little to no room for doubt. The last sentence also starts with "Unfortunately", which makes me think it's stealth complaining, but my concern is the "objective incorrectness" and I don't know where to go for that.

Hey, can someone please update the directory? There appear to be some long-term, large-scale threads that aren't covered here. The Ban Evader Reversion Thread comes to mind.

I just took a look for pothole and sinkhole-related stuff as part of a query on Wiki Talk, and I noticed that the Sinkhole cleanup thread isn't here for some reason. That's strange… sinkholes are one of the more common problems IIRC. (There is the general cleanup thread, but that's… well, general.)

Is there any thread where I can bring up entries that seem like they're trying to make the Big Bad seem more sympathetic than in reality?

Is there any kind of project thread for Character Shilling misuse? Came across an example that I want to discuss but I'm not sure where the best place would be.

I guess you could start a thread for Character Shilling cleanup if it’s misused enough.

By the way, maybe there should be a thread for cleaning up misplaced YMMV (and maybe Trivia) entries. Sometimes moving them is straightforward, but other times I’m unsure what to do.

Do we have a thread for Zero-Content Example identification and concealment/repair? I could have sworn we did, but I can't find it.

Is there a thread for cleaning up badly foldered pages? Literature.The Boxcar Children is separated out by book.

Is there a page to discuss potential works to add to TV Tropes? Also, is there a place on New Media to talk about general internet stuff (like how there's a Youtube thread for general stuff there)

The Finicky One was created in 2012. I can only assume that the standards were different back then, because it's literally 2 sentences long and would get bombed as TLP first draft today.

I'm not prepared to fix it myself at the moment (to walk it through TRS, or to write a proper page from nearly-scratch). Is there any, like... list of "crappy pages that need to be reviewed when someone has time" that I could put it on?

[up] It's already on Tropes Needing TRS. If you want a thread to talk about it, you could start a Trope Talk thread or bring it up at the Trope Repair Shop meta thread.

i would like to ask a question: where do i propose lumping certain tropes into one? i have a list of certain tropes that i feel are way too similar for any differences between the two to matter (eg. Tae Kwon Door vs. The Door Slams You, Absurdly Sharp Blade vs. Sharpened to a Single Atom).

Is there a general long-term project for Adaptation Tropes, specifically types of Adaptation Deviation? I think something like that could be useful, since people can debate the extent of changes in an adaptation. Is an Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole actually a plothole? Is a case of Adaptational Ugliness actually in effect? Has a character gone through Adaptational Villainy, or Adaptational Heroism? Maybe a Short-Term project instead?

Should the Complete Monster and Magnificent Bastard threads still be linked in the header? I mean, both tropes are indefinitely locked for new examples, and the threads were locked accordingly.

Bumping this. I’d add that misplaced YMMV/Trivia entries may need to be reworded if moved, and occasionally YMMV potholes come up on main work pages that I’m unsure what to do with (What Goes Where on the Wiki says Trivia potholes on main work pages are okay).
