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?

Laconic.Slippery Slope Fallacy: "Anything is a slippery slope if you are an idiot. (e.g. Speed limits mean they are coming for our cars!!11!!!!)"
What's that supposed to mean?
Suggestion, correct me if I'm wrong:
"An argument that if an action may have a non-zero chance to get From Bad to Worse, despite higher chances of ending positively, such action should be avoided."

It's less condescending, so I support it.

(x4) I'd cut the bit about Toilet Humour because the main page didn't state that (it just suggested it can be part of it). It otherwise looks pretty good to me and is definitely a step up from the current.

A while ago (EDIT: namely back in 2022), someone removed a bunch of details in Laconic.Screw This Im Outta Here that are part of the trope.

Big Catch, Sparkle Edition
Except those aspects aren't part of the trope anymore: TRS expanded it.

Okay, good to know. However, while the description is different, the main page still states this involves this being unplanned, which was part of the original definition. Moreover, the current Laconic doesn't mention this. So, can I change it to this?

I think that's better. I heard this is a somewhat complicated series story-wise so erring on simplicity seems wise.
Looks good to me.
Here are some laconics from my sandbox:
- Maria Watches Over Us
Bait-and-Switch Lesbians, the series.
- Shadow Hearts
- Lycoris Recoil
- Lyrical Nanoha
- Ouran High School Host Club
Twelfth Night: The High School Anime.
- Saints Row
- Saiyuki
Should I cutlist Laconic.The Reader?
“Boom! Boomboom! Boomboomboom! Bakuage Tire! Gogogo!"
I'm helping!
Given that it's copied whole cloth from another writer, yeah sure.
Unless you can think of literally any other laconic to replace it with.
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.

The current Laconic for Amoral Attorney isn’t very good. Suggestion.

The laconic for Sci-Fi Horror got cut, but before I go to Ask The Tropes, how's this?
- A horror story using common elements of Science Fiction, often times using futuristic settings.
the Retromancer
As you can see, Laconic.Sci Fi Horror was cut with a reason, which in case you didn't know, is a part of this cleanup.

Because it's getting buried and several days have passed, any more thoughts on my suggestion for Laconic.Screw This Im Outta Here?
Any thoughts for these guys?

TroperWall / WikiMagic Cleanup Ah thank you!
5, had no idea it was primarily an index, I could it was just describing what the genre is.
Any thoughts on changing the laconic of The Danza back?
