Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.

Should be a Super-Trope, imo.

I guess if we want to change it that sharply, might it be a TRS? Well, there should be a slot open.
Anyone agree with crazysamaritan?

Looks like a supertrope to me. Not sure if anything needs a change.

I think it's probably similar to the question about The Undead — it's a supertrope with enough subtropes that we don't have any examples atm that wouldn't be better placed elsewhere. And yeah, I don't know that it warrants a TRS. It seems to be working as intended.
Low wick count isn't an issue if this is a very broad supertrope like The Undead. Based on what Fighteer said in the thread for The Undead, it seems that in this case, The Undead has too many wicks.
Edit: As I pointed out in my next post, it seems I jumped to conclusions on how the broadness is affecting the wick count.

I'm not sure about that — in The Undead's case, it could be tropes linking to the supertrope because they do have all kinds of different undead in the setting, which I think could be an appropriate use.

^I checked the related tab
and there are indeed a buttload of Main/ wicks that could either be subtropes or could potentially be combined with subtropes; so many that I had to scroll several times to reach the end of the list. The first wick listed for The Undead is A Nazi by Any Other Name; perhaps that trope could be combined with Nazi Zombies.
Oh for sure. I didn't mean that none of them could need repairing, just that some could be legitimate and it could still be quite a high number.
Is Shadowland an index, or a trope? Describes like a trope, looks like an Index...
And given its 55 wicks
, seems to be used like a Trope too...
