Not Tropeworthy: Some Anvils Needto Be Dropped

Re: YMMV Redirects:

I was the one who added Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped and either Main.Anvils That Needed To Be Dropped or SugarWiki.Anvils That Needed To Be Dropped (or maybe both; I it's been a while since I touched that page) after I turned them all into redirects to Anvilicious. The reason I turned the first of the three into a redirect so quickly is because there were no examples on the main page; they're all on subpages, which can be sorted through using the page I linked to earlier.

Woo! Sub-800! (Technically. 3 are staying. 801 as of this edit)

I decided to take care of the translations and the So You Want To, then moved a couple more to Anvilicious or An Aesop.

TearJerker.Fillmore looks to have a ghost wick. We could add a pothole to some other page to clear it out from the list, though it'll have to be relevant...

I just say that what it is at the top. Like so?

I think I got that ghost wick.

At least that works.

Meanwhile, we're approaching 700. Let's keep it up!

Woo! Sub-700! (Technically. at least 4 are staying. 703 as of this edit.)

Most of the rest are YMMV.

I've noticed two examples that I can't move or cut on my own. The first is on YMMV.Jessica Jones 2015, since the entry has a note from the moderators not to edit it due to some edit wars about its content. I think this entry could be edited to fit Anvilicious, "The show goes to great lengths to show the struggle of rape victims, including the way society often ignores them, with about as much subtlety as a nuclear explosion." The second is YMMV.Mumkey Jones, which is locked at the moment. I could see moving this one to An Aesop on the main page, since it's about a specific episode and the entry details at length what the message is and how it is delivered. It is a little long though

If it's locked, just toss a note on the Locked Pages Thread so a mod knows to fix it.

Do you want to delete it? Or just rename it?

I'd probably re-name to to An Aesop and move it to the main page.

Woo! Sub-600! (Technically. At least 4 are staying. 602 as of this edit.)

Most of the rest are YMMV.

Woo! Sub-500! (498 as of this edit.)

Most of the rest are YMMV.

I moved the example on YMMV.The Dark Side Of The Moon to Anvilicious because it was specifically about the message being unsubtle.

I also removed misuse of Shocking Swerve (which misused it to refer to something being jarring in general and had nothing to do with plot twists) and a violation of Examples Are Not Recent (it said the War in Afghanistan was still-ongoing; I changed "still-ongoing" to "20-year").

Shocking Swerve doesn't exist anymore anyway.

I mentioned in the edit reason that it's a redirect to Ass Pull.

Woo! Sub-350! (343 as of this edit.)

Most of the rest are YMMV.

Woo! Sub-300! (299 as of this edit.)

Most of the rest are YMMV.

The subpages also need to have their examples moved followed by being cutlisted.

I'll see if I can tackle the media subpages tomorrow.

For now, I may see about the work-exclusive ones.

Woo! Sub-200! (196 as of this edit.)

Most of the rest are YMMV.

We're getting closer to 100!

As for the subpages, progress is going well.

We're gonna need to clean up a lot of those Anvilicious subpages made from moving SANTBD subpages — many of them say nothing about how the work emphasizes the morals and would better suffice under An Aesop.

Woo! Sub-80! (Technically. 4 should stay as of this edit.)

Most of the rest are YMMV.

Of the remaining wicks, 39 are to YMMV that have no other entries besides Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped, so the pages either need to be cut or someone needs to add more Audience Reactions to flesh them out. There are also three pages that are locked, so we need to decide as a group what edits to put forward to the locked pages thread.
