Most of them look fine. The break of alphabetic ordering and the subbulleting of the subtitle thingy makes me think we'll have to fix that at least, though.

^Agreed. I actually think some of those are amusing. Fix the mechanically problematic ones, leave the others.

I, on the other hand, think that the SD format is detrimental to comprehension on that page. The wiki's goals are, as per Fast Eddie's forum sig, "Clear, Concise and Witty", in that order. The current format puts "witty" ahead of "clear".

I actually think the SD format makes it more, not less, comprehensible by showing what the trope is without even having to click the link to it. It's fun, and in my opinion it serves a purpose.

Most of them seem fine to me, but the ones that turn the trope name into something completely different seem a bit excessive (especially the one for Counting to Potato).
