That's a sometimes bug, but the problem here is that the Truth in Television subpages are not tagged as "does indexing" in the page type, and thus shouldn't be indices at all...

If they are indeed supposed to index tropes, the solution is to frame the content of each subpage with the [[index]] and [[/index]] tags.

If you didn't fix it already, I think I did, with just resaving the page type, even if I don't change anything.

Truth in Television has a long standing bug in its page type mechanism.

I've always been confused about them, tbh. Are they meant to be indexes, or are they not?
