It would mean we'd split those examples into a new trope if possible, otherwise we'd send them to the Trope Idea Salvage Yard.

Posting this comment to make public that I voted in favor of "Expand the trope's definition to include structures that aren't tall and thin (mutually exclusive with splitting off examples for structures that aren't tall and thin)". I didn't upvote or downvote any of the other options.

Calling in favor of the following:

  • Expand the trope's definition to include structures that aren't tall and thin
  • Split off or Yard misuse for wrestlers using an agile, aerial wrestling style
  • Rename I Have The High Ground

What are our name options?

Split off. It needs it's own trope.

[up]You're too late for that. We already decided to only split off aerial wrestling moves while expanding the trope for characters standing on high surfaces.

[up]I already explained what we're doing, and it hasn't been that long since I did so, so there's no need to keep posting about splitting. Please stop before I have to start thumping posts.

Huh, looks like no option has consensus even after three days. I'll bump the ATT bulletin.

I think I'll let the crowner run two more days so it has a chance to build up votes.

It would have been preferable if those were suggested earlier in the crowner's life since it was hooked three days ago, but since I'm already running it for two more days since the original options didn't have enough votes (which is why it wasn't called today), I went ahead and added them.

Calling in favor of Dramatic High Perching. Standing On High Ground will be a redirect.

Edit: Oh, right, I should probably explain why I called it a day early. It's because only two name suggestions were within consensus range regardless of vote count, and one of them (the one that became a redirect) was just barely within consensus range.

The page has been moved, and I made the redirect, noted the rename on the old name's discussion page and the Renamed Tropes page and thread, and turned the old name into a disambiguation page since it was frequently confused with Geo Effects. I didn't need to make too many changes to the description, so I don't think we need a sandbox, but on-page examples might need to be cleaned since I didn't work on that.

Should we start wick cleaning now, or wait until the Aerial Wrestler trope gets launched?

Is Aerial Wrestler even in TLP? If it's not going to be launched any time soon we don't need to wait for it. Unless someone wants to sandbox a description right now to gather examples.

We could run a crowner for what to call it, and then sandbox it.

Let's see if any of these names are good. We can always go back to the drawing board if they aren't.

I unstarred the thread since we don't currently have a home for the wrestling examples the wick check picked up. I'll star the thread again once it's time to make that page.

Edit: I also bumped the ATT query since we don't have enough votes.

Calling in favor of Aerial Wrestler for the trope for wrestlers using an agile, aerial wrestling style. Get a sandbox ready.

Once the page is moved to Main/, we'll be putting it on the I Have The High Ground disambiguation page.

Got a little creative with the epitaph with a Star Wars reference. Now to take care of any non-wrestler wicks.

Crown Description:

16% of I Have The High Ground examples referred to wrestlers using an agile, aerial wrestling style. Those examples are going to be split off into a separate trope, but what should it be called?
