Should Animation Lead Time be considered a Trivia trope?

Posting this here per the advice of a troper (I posted it in Ask The Troopers by mistake).

This has been bugging me for some time. Considering that the trope Animation Lead Time involves behind the scenes stuff (i.e. the time it takes for animated projects to be made, rendering pop culture references dated by release date), should the trope be classified as Trivia or a standard trope?

Probably, yes.

Probably.

Keep in mind, changes like these need TRS.

Yes, but for now it can be added to the TRS Queue, no? (I don't think a wick check is strictly necessary, since the issue at hand revolves around the categorization of the page instead of misuse or complaining)

[up] You should really do the wick check first. We just had a couple of tropes enter TRS without the checks being done, and it turned out one of them didn't actually have a problem, which was revealed by a wick check done after its TRS thread was opened.

A wick check isn't mandatory for Trivia items because it's either Trivia or isn't. A wick check might good idea if usage is varied and/or the trope has a lot of wicks.

It can also be a good idea to see how many links are already on Trivia pages, and to see if it's being used/described in a way that would make it more of a trope than the description/name/laconic lets on. Granted most "this should be trivia" threads seem to be cut and dry cases of trivia things that fell through the cracks somehow.
