Only 4 wicks and 41 inbounds in at least six years of existing. No examples. On top of that, I can't make heads or tails of the description or why it's useful to the site. Recommending a cut for this one. Thoughts?

Did you mean Timestamps Are Your Friends?

It looks to be one of those things like Egregious or Data Vampires where it's more a forum/wiki occurrence with its own page than an actual convention in fiction. Might warrant a namespace shift, though.

I think it's fine, just needs some crosswicking, perhaps to some administrivia pages?

Yeah, it just needs some administrivia crosswicking and possibly a namespace shift.

I agree with the proposal for Administrivia crosswicking and possibly a namespace move.

I agree as well.

Health sure is versatile. It's possible to be both light-headed and dim-witted. At the same time, no less.

I think we all agree with crosswicking with Administrivia pages, but do we need a crowner to decide whether the page itself gets moved to the Administrivia namsepace? At most, people have said to possibly change the namespace (which I did myself), but nothing definitive regarding whether to change the namespace.

Similar forum tropes mentioned elsewhere in this thread are in main, I don’t think it needs a change.

[up]Where were other forum tropes mentioned in this thread? I see Data Vampires and Me Too! (the latter wasn't even given as an example, but merely said to indicate agreement), but those aren't forum-specific.

Almost every page in fora is in Main.

[down]Ok, but my point still stands. Similar tropes are in the same namespace.

[up]You're the first person to link to fora in this thread, hence why I asked.

Edit: I didn't say that was a bad reason to keep this in Main. I was asking because I wasn't sure which tropes you were referring to.

At least six votes in favor of crosswicking with Administrivia pages. Do we need any more consensus?

Bump for votes.

Edit: I think moving to Administrivia has enough consensus, but since crosswicking with Administrivia pages isn't mutually exclusive with that, it could probably still be done.

Page moved. I cutlisted the Main/ redirect, and the page still needs to be added to the Administrivia index.

I did as much Administrivia crosswicking as I thought was necessary from going through the list on the main Administrivia page, and since everything else is done, I think we're done here.
