For a list of bad laconics, see Sandbox.Pages Needing Better Laconics.
For generally accepted guidelines for laconics, see Sandbox.Laconic Wiki Template.
Today I found out an interesting fact from troper Ironeye:
Don't ever make the mistake of using the Laconic version as the canonical trope meaning—the laconics are often written by people who don't actually understand the drop. In this case, the laconic only corresponds to one possible cause of Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy.
The Laconic Description for DIAA states as follows:
The thing is, these descriptions are supposed to make it easier to understand what the page is about. If they can't be accurate as well as short and sweet, then there's a problem.
So for starters, what would be a better description for DIAA?

If the color-coding is back, then it should be fixed on Laconic.Everything Fades, because the loss of the "super secret spoiler" white-out markup means that the last bit of the word ruins the fading illusion.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Well that one's also messed with by the fact that dark mode is a thing.
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.

Yeah, it's not night-mode friendly at all.

Uh, the fading effect Mew mentioned like, five posts up.

Laconic.The Witch Hunter has a very poor laconic:
Except, that isn't the trope.
From reading the trope, a witch hunter needs to be ideologically opposed to the very existence witches (or whatever magical beings they hunt) and therefore hunts them on the basis of that ideology. This makes them hard to dissuade, distract or defeat, as they'll keep on hunting for as long as their ideology drives them. I'd therefore like to propose the following:

Looks good to me. ![[tup]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Thumbs_up_emoticon_3268.png "[thumb up]"){kind=small}
Maybe it could be shortened?

It was changed in February from this:
It’d revert it, but leave out the “infamous” part.

Please do, the current one is not kosher at all. And this comes from someone who had a very bad time playing that game.
135 - 169 - 273 - 191 - 188 - 230 - 300
"Infamous" potholed Obvious Beta. I looked on the page and I believe it should be YMMV.
Also, does the laconic for Narm match with the description?

At its core, yes.
Though personally I'd like to run Narm through TRS sometime to get a better idea of what constitutes "drama."

It seems like it needs it anyway.

Cowboy Be Bop At His Computer’s laconic seems to believe that it is about official sources. I might have fixed it now though.

Laconic.Those Wacky Nazis makes the trope sound like Adolf Hitlarious; while Laconic.Adolf Hitlarious is recursive and just links back to Those Wacky Nazis.
I recommend "Common stereotypes of the Nazis." and "Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, Played for Laughs." as replacements.
I'd like to apologize for all this.
Like ‘em both.
Swapped them both.

Laconic.The Simpsons S 7 E 5 Lisa The Vegetarian seems to be complaining.

It's also misuse of Establishing Character Moment...
How about something more like "Lisa's trip to a petting zoo convinces her that eating meat is wrong"?

I support pulling it. No idea on a replacement.
Good suggestion.
Clearer too.
Oh. I could've sworn they were locked to prevent the color from being undone. Must've been a relic from Locked Pages.
