I moved the page and discussion page to UsefulNotes.Qipao and turned the main page into a disambiguation page, and posted a notice on the disambiguation page's discussion page.
Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.

It helps it already had three Useful Notes indexes.
Anything left to discuss here, like if it needs the example list?

I don't think there would be any problem with having a list of appearances in fiction, but I won't complain if we ditch the example list.

Well, UsefulNotes.Kimono has an example list so there's that. It's fine for UN pages to have example lists. I don't feel strongly either way about it.

I'm going to cut the wick check sandbox since the thread should end up closing soon, since I've been chipping away at the wicks.
Here's the wick check, for archival purposes:
open/close all folders

- Manga.Boruto: Kishimoto saw Sarada as a female version of Sasuke and he chose to give her a a ninja outfit that resembles Sakura's from her childhood, to emphases their similarities more. ZCE, Outfit is also linked elsewhere on the page as a qipao
- Recap.Food Wars S 1 E 22 The One Who Surpasses The Ordinary: "Miyoko is in her usual Qi Pao hitting Shingo Andou like a kung fu fighter."
- VideoGame.Hong Kong Ninja: Female triad mooks are dressed in this attire. ZCE
"Character wears a qipao for sexiness/fanservice" (10/50)
- Characters.A Certain Magical Index Dark Side: She wears a revealing red one along with a cowboy hat. ZCE, but uses 'revealing'

- VideoGame.Pokemon Type Wild, Cute Monster Girl entry: the various winning animations takes this trope a step further; putting her in different clothing inexplicably, including a bride outfit, nurse attire, Qipao, even sleeping garb for when she gets put to sleep.
"Character wears a qipao because they are Chinese or influenced by Chinese culture" (12/50)
- Anime.Time Bokan: Mun Mun often wears this dress as a civilian outfit. Justified, because she is chinese. ZCE

- Characters.By The Grace Of The Gods, Anime Chinese Girl entry: Li Ling, especially emphasized with her Qipao dress.

- Characters.The Last Sovereign Allies: As Erosia is based on Asian stereotypes in pop culture, Dari wears this along with detached sleeves indicating she came from the area that would've represented China. ZCE
- Franchise.Street Fighter, National Stereotypes entry: the original Qipao-wearing, acrobatic Chinese action girl.

- VideoGame.Onmyoji, Culture Chop Suey entry: with the appearance of such things as Qipao, swimsuits, Ancient Egypt sarcophagi: Qipao represent China in this chop suey
Entirely ZCE + Other Usage (6/50)
- Characters.Canaan folder indicates character is Chinese
- Characters.High School DXD Devils: Siris and Xuelan.
- Characters.Red Alert 3 Paradox though it's under an Anime Chinese Girl's folder
- Literature.Journey: Since their world is a mix of European and Asian, most of the dresses described are in this style. Not generous enough to count this as "Chinese"
- Main.The Flapper description: The modeng xiaojie would likely wear high heels and high-slit, figure-hugging dresses called "cheongsams" in reaction to the painful foot binding and the antiquated loose robes of the Qing dynasty.
- UsefulNotes.Hong Kong: Notable in that numerous secondary schools have adopted cheongsam as the school uniform for their female students.

Qipao
25th May '22 7:57:25 PM
Crown Description:
Qipao just seems to be listing of characters who wear qipao which isn't a trope. What should be done to fix the page?
Total posts: 33
Calling crowner in favor of the following:
I dumped the contents of Main.Qipao into Sandbox.Qipao in case we want to do any revisions. Not sure if the page is good as is to move to Useful Notes/
