Stumbled across this one while answering a "where is that trope" today. Basically, this article seems like it couldn't decide if it was an index, a sugar wiki entry, or a useful note.

I decided it was an index for standard aesops, since we have the An Aesop index which is types of aesops (broken, space whale, etc) and tropes about aesops, but no list of standard Aesops other than this, which was formerly mostly a list of quotes, proverbs, and truisms with no links. After a lot of typing and cut-and-pasting that is no longer the case, but it still needs more work, including tagging as an index, and I'm done for the day.

Just don't delete this one, if just for the sake of those of us who hang out in the "Where its that trope" thread. Once we get it properly sorted, this index will save us a LOT of tabbing trying to remember which of the 10 or so different "don't be greedy" tropes a particular person's looking for.

I like the folderized version more, although it may be advisable to do the change after a thread has agreed to it, not before.

Second opinion wasn't needed here, the previous version was a shining example of a Signal To Noise Train Wreck. It was either fix it or nominate it for deletion, and I'm a big believer in Repair Dont Respond.

It's in excellent condition now. Does it still need anything?

Apparently not. The clock's up; locking up.
