We've had a discussion on the meme stuff here but there's no actual consensus to do anything about it.

1. Memetic Mutation are weird, but recognized exception to Example Indentation in Trope Lists. They follow own formatting of "* Meme ** Successor memes / further mutations". We don't have sufficient discussion yet to enforce one format or the other besides of what's standardized currently. Since it's been brought up a lot, it probably has to be addressed in the forums and the result put at Example Indentation in Trope Lists.

2. These are indexes and not examples. I don't recall there being a standard for those. But Franchise.A Song Of Ice And Fire is not a Memes page, so it shouldn't be on Memes.Live Action TV. Should there be Memes.A Song Of Ice And Fire, grouping would be reasonable to me, but otherwise I'd prefer to keep it alphabetical.

Thank you both for the answers. I'll have a look at the thread.

Well, listing examples from works and listing works in an index should follow the same logic. The administrivia page does say it's a widely-accepted style standard.
