Needs Help: Trope Namers

Go To

To-do list:

  • Trope Namers is no longer Trivia and has instead been indexed on Administrivia (though it is staying in Main/ and not being moved to the Administrivia/ namespace), so remove examples from Trivia/ pages.

    Original post 
Trope Namers should be moved out of the Trivia tag as it's not work trivia. It's just wiki trivia which is the same reason why the Image Source pages were moved off Trivia.

[tup]Move out of Trivia. Make it a Just for Fun page or Administrivia page.

Edit: Actually I changed my mind, make it purely an index. Still move it out of trivia though.

[tup] Move out, just like with Image Source / Quote Source.

This one will take a while to clean up.

I'd like to apologize for all this.

What would moving it out of Trivia entail exactly? Would only the wicks on Trivia pages need to be cleaned?

Yes, moving it out of the Trivia and cleaning all wicks on the Trivia subpages.

[up]It's already in Trivia and most of us want to move it out of the Trivia namespace.

[up][x4]Actually, given how we're mostly just gonna be removing examples from the Trivia namespace, the cleanup might be shorter than you think.

So if it gets turned into a Source/ type page, can it stay linked in-line on work examples?

[up] Probably. Image Source and Quote Source don't get linked because it's bad practice, since pics and quotes get changed regularly. Trope Namers, on the other hand, are changed much more rarely, plus the change usually involves a wick cleanup.

I'd like to apologize for all this.

Double posting because I neglected to mention that the wording about putting it on the Administrivia index after removing it from the Trivia index is only referring to the index and not the namespace. Since Quote Source and Image Source were left in Main/, Trope Namers is as well if only the current option wins. If anyone thinks changing the namespace would be worthwhile, that would have to be addressed with another crowner option; it's probably not too soon to add it to this crowner if anyone would prefer that.

Edit: Eh, went ahead and added it.

Posting this comment to make public that I voted in favor of moving the page out of trivia and index it to Administrivia. I didn't upvote or downvote the other option.

[up][up] Downvoted that second option because it's just extra work that benefits no-one.

I'm just going to remove that crowner option. It probably would have continued to be downvoted, but I feel the arguments against it are strong enough to merit taking it off the table.

Crown Description:

It has been suggested that Trope Namers should be moved out of the Trivia index as it's not work trivia, and is just wiki trivia, which is the same reason why the Image Source and Quote Source pages were moved off Trivia and moved to the Administrivia idnex. Should Trope Namers be moved out of Trivia and added to Administrivia?
