So, we now need an Alt Names crowner as well as a YKTTW (?) for the "wrong word number" version, yes?
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanVotes bump!
Two Words: Added Emphasis is the only one in green with 9-2 yea/nay.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanHang on, in what way is "Two Words: Added Emphasis" going to be any less prone to misuse than "Two Words: Obvious Trope"?
The particular misuse this is getting is people potholing it whenever they do it. That's the kind of problem I Am Not Making This Up had and Incredibly Lame Pun still has. It's not a problem with the name: it's a pothole, the name doesn't even display. Even Word Count For Emphasis would still get potholed the same way.

Actually, trope names do influence the potholing thereof. And the old trope name does carry an "no more context necessary" undercurrent that promotes sinkholing.
Bumping btw, because I am not really up for starting a YKTTW.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanNot every instance of the word trope in a trope name is an instance of that word being used as a placeholder. (I am still sort of annoyed about Gonna Need More Trope being changed for "that reason"; there were other reasons to rename it but that wasn't one of them, it is a play on "Gonna need more rope".)

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.Yep. Stealing the miscount version from the current page, and moving them to https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/discussion.php?id=5lw4n5gqtnv408lenqamg29j

Link to TRS threads in project mode here.Looks like we may have our work cut out for us, if we are changing all those redirects.
Meanwhile, there's the double redirect on top of that (Two Words), which I'm going to resolve in a moment.
Working on the redirect Two Words, and I got a question:
How are we handling wicks in Headscratchers and WMG?

With 10 votes? That's a leetle bit too little.
