It's the related page. Which trope are you looking at?
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallDid you try clicking at the bottom of the related to page where it says “Page 1 of (number)” to see the next pages of results?
Join the Five-Man Band cleanup project!I did! There are often many pages but they all seem to be other tropes rather than pages the specific trope appears on, if that makes sense! In the past I was able to find a list of characters the trope was mentioned under (for example) but I'm a little lost again now :')
EDIT: I do start to see some characters where the trope is mentioned if I go through ~20 pages haha so maybe that's the best I can do? I thought it was a little different in the past but I might be wrong! If there's no alternative way to accomplish what I was asking about in my first post then please disregard this thread. :D Sorry!

I think I understand! So for example, there wouldn't be a way to search for a list of 'Faux Affably Evil' characters under a certain media category? I'd have to go to the Related page, search the 'Character' groupname at the top and sift through the list of series, then search through the series pages to find which character it is? 😅
So sorry for being so slow with this, just not super familiar with how the site works and thought I remembered it being easier :') Thanks for your patience!

Mostly correct. Keep in mind:
- Character pages don't always exist. Sometimes all trope examples, including characterization tropes, are on the work's main page. This page will be found under the work namespace.
- Some works might be in a different namespace than you would think. If a property has an original version, and then a "faithful" adaptation, sometimes both are troped on the same page, under the namespace of the original work, with a few examples marked as "In the XYZ adaptation" or so. This is particularly common in newer Japanese media, where a Light Novel might get cookie-cutter Manga and Anime adaptations fairly quickly. These might be under Literature/, Manga/ or Anime/, depending on which version came first. See Spice and Wolf for an example of this sort of layout.

You could use the Excel Wich Check Tool
, place a high number for the wicks and wait for all examples to load.
Hope it answers your query.
At least it makes things easier to search.

Kirby is awesome.I see! Your first point explains why I'm mostly seeing pages for the series rather than the character even when I search 'Character'
That makes sense!
I wish it was a bit easier to find characters who share a particular trope, but I think I have the hang of how to search now. :D Thank you!!
EDIT: I'll look into the Excel Wich Check Tool too. Thanks!

I'm looking for examples of a specific trope, but the examples included on the trope's page are very few. I know the trope is listed on many character pages across the site, so I was wondering if there was a way to somehow get a list of those pages to see all the instances where the trope was named, if that makes any sense at all! Thanks for your help! ♡
