It was changed by Underlying Cause in an edit with no edit reason given. I agree that the old wording is better, because the new wording lacks the death connotations Trope Epitaph entries are supposed to have.

That needs to have its original description restored. If they try to edit that again, then that's an edit war.

Also refer to this link when restoring.

I didn't know that Kid Amid the Chaos was about a kid all alone in a major emergency situation. I had no idea that Trope Epitaph talked about how old tropes/trope names "died." But I already know that cut tropes can come back at any time, but that the Permanent Red Link Club is for tropes that will never come back.

I'll be over on DeviantArt if you need me.

"Epitaph" refers to the inscription on a tombstone, and Trope Epitaph is meant to resemble a trope "graveyard," hence why so many examples discuss means of death.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

If you didn't know what the page you were editing was about and you didn't know what the trope whose entry you were changing was about, just why would you make the edit in the first place?
