One thing I've noticed is that for all how the page for They Might Be Giants claims them to be the unofficial official band of this wiki, there's relatively few people on this site who seem to ever reference them.

I just remembered this one.

I remember that The Complainer Is Always Wrong once had a page image, and it was of a guy looking a bit dramatic.

I remembered when NightmareFuel.Western Animation had an example presenting this short as Nightmare Fuel because, according to the original editor, dogs foaming at their mouths are inherentely scary.

Someone added a spoiler-tagged entry to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet even though they only came out a few hours ago in the eastern hemisphere. That was quick.

If I were to give the benefit of the doubt, I'd suggest they ordered the game online and it shipped early. Somehow, though, I doubt it...

On the matter of surprise shows which don't see much discussion here, CoComelon seems to be everywhere, yet it was only this year that it even got a page.

I only heard of Cocomelon because Kiryu Coco's modified nursery song was tagged by Youtube as a children's song for a while, and it was thought the two might have been confused.

Stories don't tell us monsters exist; we knew that already. They show us that monsters can be trademarked and milked for years.

Kid's works on this wiki are hit or miss. Either they're made by a troper who's lowkey obsessed with that show and thus they get fleshed out and pimped like mad... or the entire troper base ignores them.

Worst on ZCE work pages are works that are old and nobody cares about, like 00's cartoons.

We Named the Monkey "Jack" might need to go through TRS, since the description admits it's two tropes in one.

Observation: People don't notice Aliens of London if the alien in question has a Received Pronunciation or generic non-regionally-specific American accent. Anything other than that is weird and needs to be commented on. Same goes for The Queen's Latin.

[up]What separates that trope from Aliens Speaking English, whose description doesn't even reference it? I could understand if the trope were restricted to the use of accents that are considered "non-regional" in the countries that made the works (Received Pronunciation for British works, General American for American works, etc.), but it seems like any accent can apply, which is why I don't see why it's separate.
