Needs Help: Seen It A Million Times

OK, this is kind of a "what do we do with this" thread.

Basically, Seen It A Million Times is a Predefined Messages page. These pages are being namespaced to Administrivia/, but this page in particular seems to be a hybrid trope trope/predefined message page judging by the way it's being used in trope pages, and I don't know for sure whether these ought to be put in Administrivia/ as well - the thread above linked wasn't very clear and is dead now.

So I would like to ask the Repair Shop whether this page should be namespaced, or changed in some other way or left alone. Opinions?

I would say:

1. Namespace it To Administrivia
2. Make it only a Predefined Message
3. Limit it to use in YKTTW; make it clear that it's not to be used as 1) a general example on trope pages or 2) to mean "It's really common" in trope descriptions.
4. Clear out wicks that use it as a Stock Phrase Trope, or as either of 1) or 2) in the previous point.

Seconding that.

Seems like a reasonable fix proposal. Anyone else?

Bumping for input before it gets buried.

I also support Maddy's proposal.

I agree, only YKTTW and the repair forums should be using it.

How much additional discussion before implementation? Single-prop crowner?

I also agree with that motion.

So is there an assumption/immediate decision that the trope part of the "hybrid trope/predefined message" isn't worth keeping?

Yes. "This happens quite frequently" is a poor basis for a Trope Trope.

Madrugada's proposal is sound. Make it so.

Bumping. I am good to go for the implementation, but it needs a description rewrite and I currently don't have one.

OK, let me try to write a description for the new page:

Comments?

Seems good.

Any more input, or can we go ahead?

Sounds good to me.

Make it so.

OK; I'll implement it this evening at home.

And it's done. Tagged, wicks cleaned and new description in the new page.

Nice work. Locking this up.
