Misused: Added Alliterative Appeal

I'd like a mod to weigh in, but I assume the answer is, "Yes, Change Page Now."?

Does this trope need examples at all? It is pretty self-explanatory, and I feel is so common that we would get a near endless list of examples.

We could just disallow on-page examples, while allowing examples on work pages.

In addition, as we've said before, intention is important for whether something is an example, so that would limit things to an extent. The trope name would be an example, while saying a spider has long legs wouldn't, because the latter is just natural word choice, not proper alliteration.

I think keeping it to examples on work pages would make much more sense.

^ - So, you're saying to make it an Omnipresent Trope?

I think we could make a good case for that, yes.

Well, have we gone to double digits, for "make this a trope", yet?

I'll re-tally later.

Would hollering be a good idea? This thread has been open for months and not much has happened lately.

Add me for the vote to make a trope.

Another vote to make a trope.

I was going to say we should make a crowner, but unless there's some dissenting opinion I'm not sure it's worth worrying about.

Since this was mentioned again, I'll bump. We've got 12 for Trope. Good enough?

I hollered your post to get a mod's opinion on the matter.

New Month Bump?

12 for yes and none for no seems like a quorum. I think you'd be more than justified in just pulling the trigger at this point.

- True. But, on that note, I'm gonna edit the Alliterative Phrasing TLP so it really fits when it replaces AAA.

Should we make an Alliteration Index to take over the index part of AAA?

Remove Added Alliterative Appeal from Just for Fun, the Alliterative Name index for indexes, and place it in the one for tropes...

Does Added Alliterative Appeal have any subtropes, if we're defining it as Alliterative Phrasing?

I'd say Alliterative List, but I know Alliterative List Titles, so, since a title wouldn't count for Alliterative Phrasing, then AL isn't a subtrope?

Cool. Added my comments to the TLP.

Okay, added the stuff from my TLP to the AAA page.

I'm calling the listed tropes SubTropes. Anyone disagree?

What to do with the TLP now? Convert to a redirect and launch? Or nuke?

I'm in favor of both the subtrope idea and the addition of Alliterative Phrasing as a redirect.

Agreed.

Okay, that's happening then.

Lock this up, since it's done, I think.

I hollered for a mod to lock the thread for the sake of helping to get the backlog cleared.

Edit: Removed from the Just for Fun index and changed the page type from Index to Trope (with "Does indexing" checked). There's a ghost wick on Nl.Just For Fun (which is a redirect to the proper Dutch Just for Fun page) that I can't seem to fix (null editing didn't work).

Edit: I think the Nl.Just For Fun indexing might be due to indexing still be turned on for the redirect. Could a mod please look into that?

Edit: I was able to remove the indexing that was accidentally left on the Nl.Just For Fun redirect after the move to Nl.Voor De Lol (the latter contains the proper Dutch Just for Fun index, so the redirect's indexing was redundant with it) by temporarily disabling the redirect, tweaking the page type, and putting the redirect back. The "ghost wick" is fixed now.

- So, we're done now, right?

I think so.

Okay then, calling it done.
