Soft Split Cleanup

I would prefer to un-soft split them.

Never Gets Drunk has three subtypes: too stoic, too silly and "just never gets drunk". Remove?

Yeah, those divisions aren't necessary.

Home and Garden's current examples categories include some subgenres, an "others" section, parodies & homages, non-TV, and "off the wall" (whatever that means). In short, it's an incoherent mess that doesn't follow the wiki's policies. I think it should be sorted by media just like every other trope.

Agreed.

Yeah, looks like the soft split should be removed.

On a related note, Immune to Drugs is similarly soft-split to "inexplicable immunity" and "justified immunity". Also remove?

^ I think we can stand to remove that soft split

Agreed to removing the soft split of Immune to Drugs.

Great, I'll proceed to do that.

Bringing this up again:

Should some of the sections under Blow That Horn be hardsplit or should the soft split just be undone?

It should be undone and each type's description should be added to the trope's description. I don't see any good reason for them to be categorized, since there's overlap sometimes.

Breather Boss has folders for some specific game series, and then lumps everything else into an unfoldered list at the bottom. Should folders be added? If so, should the top folders be moved to subpages?

I'd rather remove the folders, by making the subpages preferably. Tales one is kind of short, so it can be inserted to the main list.

Okay. I'll go merge the Tales section and move the rest to subpages.

Phoney Call is split into "the four varieties"... and a fifth folder for "other", because every time someone decides there are exactly N subtypes of a thing someone comes up with a counterexample.

Yeah, I'd de-soft split that page.

I removed three of the Pop-Cultural Osmosis Failure subpages, but does the page need to be split in the first place?

^Probably not.

Does Black Comedy Rape need 8 sections? Does it matter who the rapist and victim is? I feel like this was brought up before

Since we already have Ass Shove, Bestiality Is Depraved, and rape double-standard tropes, I don't think the split is necessary.

I asked that in a previous page, but didn't get a response so nothing was done.

Ohh,looks like I missed your post somehow then.

EDIT: I created Sandbox.Black Comedy Rape for the un-split because there's a lot of examples and categories to go through.

Okay, it's taken me a while to get around to doing this. However, as per this post, I've removed the soft-split for Horse of a Different Colour.

There were so many duplicate entries, it was unreal. Anyway, I think I've got everything. I haven't alphabetised every folder, but I did manage to get several of them (including some of the really long folders). The question is now whether some of the folders should be turned into sub-pages. In particular, Literature, Tabletop Games and Video Games might be worth splitting out.

YMMV.Shadow Of The Colossus has a really weird soft-split related to specific characters/elements. Is this allowed, or not?

Robot Names is soft-split into eight sections based on different naming patterns. Macron suggested merging the sections here and I agree.

Always Identical Twins is split into straight examples and aversions.

Since this isn't an omnipresent trope, the aversion section should be removed right? Otherwise we just have a list of every twin that shows up in media, no?

It's not omnipresent, but it is a trope in aggregate, so.

But yeah aversions seem unnecessary.
