Mary-Sue Hunter is only listed in the "Contrast" section, and listed because it has "hunter" in the name.

I don't think simply having "hunter" in the name is sufficient reason to even mention it, since this trope is specifically not about hunters in general; that's why we took out Nazi Hunter.

I use "Contrast" to mean "despite the similarities, these are not the same". You're right that Nazi Hunter was removed, so I'm going to add it to the "Contrast" section as well.

Description doesn't seem to be updated. It still lists "non-supernatural hunters".

We are discussing the phrasing I wrote in post 45. I'm wait for consensus on it before removing the current description.

- 45: You gotta mention Absolute Xenophobe to that list. Otherwise it looks fine.
BTW, does this count?
- Azure Striker Gunvolt: Copen, a muggle, has dedicated himself to hunt and slay Adepts around the globe due to his belief that they're abominations who will ravage the earth if left unchecked. If one of the drama tracks is to be believed, Adepts really have done so, turning most of the earth into lawless regions. This causes him to clash with the titular Gunvolt, who's among the few heroic Adepts in the world.

I think that's a Mage Killer and Hunter of Monsters.

The Hunter is now down to < 400 wicks.

I'll have a second go at the wicks when I have some time.
As well, the Hunter Archetype
TLP needs some actual examples.

Down to 300 wicks, tossed two examples that weren't Hunter of Monsters onto the draft.

Hey, I just found Who You Gonna Call?
How would that relate to The Hunter? The page explicitly states "when there are disturbing stuff, there'll be people who hunt them".

Sometimes they're hunters, sometimes they're detectives. Looks to be a more general trope than Creature-Hunter Organization.

So it seemed like Who You Gonna Call? is the more general trope that The Hunter used to be...?

Late to the party, but I agree with the trope-splitting solution.
@Morgenthaler: I thought the revamp of The Hunter is going to be an exampleless supertrope.
^ I don't think we ever agreed to that. The proposed options were either for a Super-Trope or Disambiguation page. An explicitly exampleless trope? I don't think that was even on the table.

Exampleless supertrope, to be precise. And yes, it was on the table since the beginning; it just seems to have been glossed over, without even a "No, it's not an option" response. [1] [2]

I was checking the status of this thread today, and saw there was only 11 remaining wicks (so I took care of them).
The Hunter Archetype is still in TLP.

Two wicks were added for The Hunter, so I got rid of them. ~Morgenthaler is still an active troper, but their draft doesn't seem to have the shepherding I'd expect (no examples added, 10:0 in votes saying to launch as-is).

We never did decide whether Hunter Archetype was to be an example-less supertrope or not. If we did, the TLP draft is ok. But if not, the TLP has some issues. In my opinion, similar issues to the original trope this was supposed to fix. To quote the original post from this thread.
The hunter is an ancient archetype common in fairy tales and fantasy based on them - the heroic woodsman who lives off the land, whose contact with nature and martial skills makes them perfect to receive the Call to Adventure. Evil Poacher and Great White Hunter are twists on this, the evil Shadow Archetype and the "modern"/19th Century reboot of it respectively. So I think this should be a supertrope, with examples.
The Hunter already redirects to Hunter of Monsters; no reason not to cut it or at least not worry about it. "It's just a show; I should really just relax"
Classical Hunter was launched, The Hunter is now a disambig with only 1 wick. This thread can be closed.

How sweet it is

Crown Description:
What would be the best way to fix the page?
The Hunter is now down to < 600 wicks.
Some other suggestion for the description rewrite: I'd take out Mary-Sue Hunter, which doesn't really seem related (well, unless the Mary Sue in question is literally magical I guess, which usually isn't the case), and add a line about Cape Busters, which is about people who hunt superpowered individuals.
