Something something de-index it.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?
Yes. That would help. It looks like part of the problem is that there was a trope transplant where the trope that was here is now Attack Its Weakpoint. Chances are, the trope people are looking for is there.

Okay so the indexes it's on are Trope Names from Memes, Example as a Thesis, and Video Game Effects and Spells on the "related" tab.
Delete it from the first two?

Yeah. That sounds about right.

Doing that in the morning, it's late and my computer needs to be restarted.
There's also a redirect just called Massive Damage that probably needs to be cutlisted. It has 0 inbounds and ~30 wicks.

x4 odd because the trope Attack Its Weakpoint is about things that can only be damaged in certain locations and such and already has MASSIVE misuse.
This all from just the meme? Ugh.

Filthy casual
I deleted it from the two indexes mentioned.
Though I shouldn't try typing when I can't see the keyboard properly. The edit reason for the second removal is a little bit garbled, I'm afraid.
(Annoyed grunt)
How sweet it is
All the Massive Damage wicks have been eliminated now. Some of those pages also link to For Massive Damage, so those are taken care of in the same edit, lessening the load a bit.
Will go and cutlist Massive Damage, since the redirect is unneeded.

I think the description needs a rework to specify that it's an Index and to remove the meme use.
Something like this:

Seeing how For Massive Damage is frequently confused with a trope as opposes to an index, I propose it be renamed "Use This Index For Massive Damage" or something with index in the name, that should fix the ambiguity. Any Thoughts?
The 'for video games' I think is unnecessary restrictive when 90% of the tropes are not video game only especially stuff like No Kill like Overkill and such.
It should be any huge damage trope really including stuff like Nuke 'em.
Matter for the repair shop?

I think part of the issue is the name. It's a meme-name that's broad enough to be a Pothole Magnet.

Bump for to say that the current wick count is about 560.
Also, I mentioned in the Critical Hit TRS thread that this may need a rename to avoid the meme potholing/sinkholing. I suggested Huge Damage Index since it gets the index part across and no longer uses a meme for a name. If we do change the name we'll probably need to preserve the old one due to having over 1,000 inbounds, so it'll probably have to be a Red-Linked redirect to discourage potholing.

That sounds viable. Gets the index part across better than the current name. ![[tup]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Thumbs_up_emoticon_3268.png "[thumb up]"){kind=small}
Huge Damage Index seems a little plain, something like This Index Hits for Massive Damage or This Index Hits Like A Truck sounds better, but I completely support the idea of renaming.
A Repair shop thread can kick around the actual new name while a vote goes for renaming?

Wick count is down to 500.
Anybody else have an opinion on the rename?

458. Could use some help.

Can't help with the dewicking psart right now, but I agree when space opens in TRS we should rename this.

I've started changing wicks, but I only managed to change 3. Agreed that we should start a TRS thread to rename this in January (since we can't have any new threads until after the New Years' Purge).
Also, alt names crowner

I'm pretty sure indices don't get quote pages, so I'm cutlisting Quotes.For Massive Damage. It's probably contributing to the the fact that people think it's a trope and potholing it.

I noticed that For Massive Damage also has a Laconic. I'm not sure if it should be cutlisted or not.

I tried, and it was rejected.

Lots of pages allow Laconics and I declined a cut request on the Quotes page two days ago for the same reason.

Crown Description:
For Massive Damage is not a trope. It is an index of things that do lots of damage. Despite not having a description other than listing the Trope Namer it's got about 1000 wicks. This is a project to dewick the index and move links to the appropriate trope.
