It seems to be an Administrivia thing.

Yeah, that's what I thought too, but the description does not actually say so. Do you think it should be moved to Administrivia? Though I don't see why that page is needed at all. The only use I've seen so far is for funny potholing, which does not justify its own page. After all, if you feel the need to pothole your second mention of something, we do have the Department of Redundancy Department. Or the Department of Redundancy Department.

It's a somewhat jokey Wiki Trope, really.

So... shouldn't it be indexed under Wiki Tropes, then?

It seems to have some formatting issues as well, as well as improper Example Indentation.

Sandbox a properly laid out version, ask in Edit requests locked pages for a switch, if mods approve of it?

^^ Example indentation? Those aren't examples. If I'm going to look at it as an article, those are variants of the trope, if anything. There's no example list.
