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.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
I say it's TRS worthy.
Contains 20% less fat than the leading value brand!
you said the misuse was extensive in the ZCE thread, which suggests a TRS thread is needed. wick check?

^ I can certainly supply one, but it's gonna take a lot of time.
Still, most examples blur the line between a ZCE and misuse, which is why I gave up on my original cleanup attempt. Wick Check will take a bit just so I can try to sort things out.

^if you'll give me an hour or two, i can help you out with the wick check once i get home

^ That'd be appreciated ~ Though it's only got 621 wicks, so we only need to look at 50 of 'em. I always just do the "throw numbers into a randomizer and use the wicks it provides" tactic, though, so I'm unsure how to do it collaboratively.

okay, im home now.
^looking at the wicks, a disproportionate amount of them are on Characters and Recap pages, and i think that's also likely to be where most of the misuse is. i think we should do 15 character pages, 15 recap pages, and 20 random pages. that also makes it easier to split up.
sound good to you?

It'll probably be fine, I just prefer to go as random as possible, as even the Wick Check page says:
"As to randomly picking wicks, this is because going in alphabetical order is more likely to run across the results of some clean-up attempt, and generally taking a wick's attributes into consideration will likely skew the results."
That doesn't mean the wick check won't randomly provide us with mostly Characters and Recap pages, though...
IDK. To keep the results as genuine as possible, I'd prefer to just do 25 randomly chosen wicks for my half of the check, as it's just what I feel safest doing.
Current Project: Incorruptible Pure Pureness
fair enough then. PM me the list you get so i can eliminate overlap in my half.

No problem. I'll also make a sandbox to collaborate on, since we need somewhere to post our results :P
Anyway, since we're doing a wick check this most likely will go to TRS I guess.

I'm wondering if I should take Drink Order to the TRS (When some of the backlog clears up and I've had time to do a proper wick check and all that). The trope seems to be being horribly misused on-page; while the trope is "What drink a character orders says a lot about their personality", most examples are "Character likes to drink beer" or "In one episode, character ordered a glass of wine", with nothing being said about their character. In essence, it's decayed to Trademark Favorite Drink.
However, I'm unsure if this problem is something that needs TRS to resolve, or if the misuse just needs to be axed, so I'm looking for a second opinion.
