With that many wicks, we are not going to open a thread without a wick check.

I was tempted to list this without a category but I felt like this one was the most appropriate even though it's a rather special example of duplication that appears as more of a consequence of Trope Decay than anything else.
The trope in question is With Friends Like These... which seems to have ended up becoming more or less a duplicate to Vitriolic Best Buds as a consequence of many slightly misguided examples.
The tropes' descriptions and associated pages seem to explain that the former is the exaggerated version of the latter, however as examples are being added it seems like this distinction is becoming less and less true, at least from a wiki point of view.
The most critical example of these blurred lines that I found is seeing both characters represented in the illustration of Vitriolic Best Buds also being cited as an example in With Friends Like These.... There is as well a sizable amount of examples in the latter page which also mention simply bickering which fits Vitriolic Best Buds just as neatly if not more.
With Friends Like These... was chosen because of its lesser amount of wicks and inbounds in comparison to Vitriolic Best Buds at the time of writing this post:
Both tropes represent a rather significant amount of wicks in the entire wiki so I believe merging both pages at this point in time would be a good idea to avoid issues with modifying wicks on the later run and such.
