The answer to your question is "yes."
It's a plot trope if it just happens once or twice. It's a character trope if it regularly happens to a character.

Thank you. I would move the trope from various skips to just the Foundation's folder.
I'm still clean up Characters.SCP Foundation from time to time. There're several examples of The Worf Effect across those pages, about various skips that the Foundation is simply unable to do anything meaningful with it.
The question is, is The Worf Effect a plot trope (the defeat of strong character) or character trope (the strong character that keep get his ass kicked)? The laconic page of The Worf Effect suggest that the trope's focus is the character, but the trope description seems to indicate that the focus is the event itself.
