That depends on how much misuse there is. If it's just here and there, remove the examples as misuse (and remember to also remove the examples in the relevant work page while you're doing that). If there's a pattern of misuse that suggests that, for example, the name is misleading, or that people are using the trope for complaining or whatever, it might be time to do a proper wick check and send it to the TRS queue.

Currently drafting a wick check page and I see that from what I've seen, there are indeed a lot of misuse and such compared to correct usages. Guess I'll put that on this wiki.

^^ There is no TRS Queue anymore, it was cut.

If there's a problem, consult Trope Repairing Guidelines and see if it's worth TRS. If so, just start a thread.

^ Huh. I remember there being the reform thread but I stopped following it long before anything concrete happened. What changed?
