Easy suggestion: Can we correct the name to Right Justified Fantasy Map and have Left Justified Fantasy Map map to it, rather than the other way around as currently?

As a graphic designer I always cringe when this page comes up. Left justified means aligned (justified) on the left side, ragged (bumpy) on the right; also known as aligned-left, flush-left, or ragged-right. That's the opposite of the phenomenon being depicted on this page. The correct term should be right justified, flush right, or ragged-left.

Picayune to some, but to me it's like saying red is the same as green (they're both colors, you know, just get over it).

First of all: We do not rename tropes to cater to one person's gripes. This is not fair to anyone.

Second of all: Right Justified Fantasy Map does exist as a redirect and Tropes Are Flexible, making your proposal moot.

Declined.
