Unclear Description (description crowner 6/6/19): Altum Videtur

Well, renaming has been basically unanimous, so here's an alt names crowner. People can add to it if they like, though there's only been one real suggestion so far. Then we'll have a formal consensus or whatever.

Crowner is at 5:0.

Note that a current bug in the system is preventing some tropers from voting in crowners.

Crowner is at 7:0 for Gratuitous Latin. Can we move forward?

Still at 7:0, can a moderator change this thread to Final Action?

Added a vote to make it 8:0.

Can the crowned be called?

It looks unanimous and it's been up since October, so I'd say so.

Edit: Hollered to get a mod to look into it.

Managed to get in that 18th vote. Teehee.

Page moved and indexing carried over. I removed it from indexes for trope names in foreign languages, due to that no longer being true.

Edit: Dewicked the Everythings Better In Latin redirect (which only had one wick), and added it to the Cut List because it's a barely used Everything's Better with X snowclone.

Edit: Done with Quicksand Box's TRS thread, so this might be my next project.

Edit: Posted a notice on the old discussion page.

• Quotes.Altum Videtur to Quotes.Gratuitous Latin

Done.

Edit: Main/ wicks changed except for ghost wicks, which need mod assistance to fix. There's also a Characters/ ghost wick.

March 3 update: 343 wicks left. At least three of those are ghost wicks, but I can't fix them because one is for a redirect that I can't open the edit page for (to do a null edit), and the other two are for cut Main/ pages.

Update: Down to 60 wicks. At least three are ghost wicks and the rest are in the VideoGame/ namespace.

Turns out there was stuff on the redirect itself.

Huh, that's the first time I've ever heard of a redirect being able to contain non-ghost wicks.

Are the ghost wicks fixed?

Main.Joel Reynolds and Main.Morgulion are for cut pages in Main/, so only a mod can fix them. Those may be the only ghost wicks left.

Dewicking complete except for ghost wicks, which I can't fix myself because they're from cut Main/ pages.

Does the description still need any modifications? That was brought up in the original post.

I'll say that this isn't the worst description I've seen, especially when the Latin words and phrases are usually accompanied by either a translation or a pothole to the subject, and the new name conveys the basic meaning better than the old one. I think Hostile Show Takeover's description is far worse when it comes to being a Self-Demonstrating Article in the Main/ namespace, due to the amount of scrolling needed just to see the actual definition, which is piled under a buttload of Bold Inflation, Caps Lock, and line breaks.

I mean, I'd be fine if the description stays where it is, since the ambiguity has been cleared up somewhat.

Or maybe not. It would help if the first sentence was a laconic, for one.

And yeah, I'd much rather have the SDA for Hostile Show Takeover be its own thing.

OK, the self-demonstrating bits can stay. As for Hostile Show Takeover, it seems like multiple other people took issue with that, which I only discovered after I split those bits onto SelfDemonstrating.Hostile Show Takeover.

If the self-demonstrating bits on Gratuitous Latin are considered acceptable, is everything complete now that the page is moved and wicks were moved over?

It does need a better description. The latinate words are shoehorned in their respective sentences more often than not and it isn't clever at all because of that. But that might be a project for the description improvement drive, rather than TRS.

Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they pretty

I'm still waiting for the OP's blessing.

If you have an idea for how to modify the description, I have no objections to that being done. I think citing this thread in the edit reason would be sufficient.
