From a quick glance through the links, I see only one page (Call the Midwife) that actually lists this in the trope list, and even then it's done as though it were a Trivia entry, rather than talking about the role of any in-universe showrunner. Every other page that I've looked at links to it in-line — sometimes in the context of the actual showrunner, sometimes in the context of an in-universe character who works as a showrunner — as if it were already a Useful Notes page anyway, so if anything I think this page just needs properly namespacing and having the links to it updated.

It's definitely NOT a useful notes page. There are only a couple if sentences of a description there and then the page is a giant list of examples. What it's not is properly formatted and cross wicked.

That said, Trivia might be the best place for it.

Yes, this seems like a trivia item. There are in-universe examples, but not too many of them.

+1 for making this a Trivia page.

You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"

There's a separate thread for deciding if things are trivia. Perhaps this discussion should move over there?

Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.

Yeah, the trivia thread in long term projects is the best place to decide if this is trivia or not. I'd say go ahead and bring that up there and close this

Okay, posted in the Trivia thread, so we can handle it from there.

Since no other option was brought up, closing.
