How about a tool that shows you pages with commented-out tropes? Might be useful to lessen their amount.

The trick with this would be, to my knowledge, finding tropes that have been commented out but not tags at the top of a page that have been commented out.

I think this would be particularly easy: Just program the wiki software to recognize potholes within commented out bullet points (that is, the parts of the article that are prefixed with "%%*") as "commented out examples".

I know this isn't impossible as I believe there are tools for programming language that are designed to obtain meta information about the code from comments formatted in a specific way.
