Ah. Right. Although I got permission, I'll maybe should take this to TRS again, for all the fixes it'll need.

Dunno though. It's basically, Fix Laconic. Move Wicks.

I didn't know you got permission. If you got permission, then it should be OK to sort the tropes.

Yeah, but I'm not sure precisely what to call the folder, or if it should actually get a page to itself because it's so long...

Check the pages' character counts. Anything between 300,000 and 400,000 combined indicates is probably better to have separate pages -since with those counts, you'd be splitting sooner then later anyway.

Yeah, the character count... should be pretty big... ~200,000 words, meaning its about 1,000,000 characters now?

I just need to figure out what to call the Alliterative Name subpage. Either "TV Tropes Wiki" or "TV Tropes Itself", and what letter ranges to use.

And give Indexes a separate page as well.

One million?? Please tell me that's a miscount/type... that's asking for Data Vampires and crashes on slower/less bandwidth connections, never mind how some browsers react. (Badly.)

Whoops. It's actually about 20,000 HTML words. So, if 5 letters a word, then 100,000 characters.

And just checked... it's around 374,642 characters?

So, what do I call the Alliterative Name subpages?

AlliterativeName.Tropes maybe?

^ Nice! ... I guess making Sub Sub Pages is okay... AlliterativeName.Tropes A To E or something.

And Alliterative Name.Indexes is clear enough. Not like there's any other kind of indexes of note.
