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.
Agreed with moving it back to that page. It shouldn't make it too long or anything.
Edited by Piterpicher Currently mostly inactive. An incremental game I tested: https://galaxy.click/play/176 (Gods Of Incremental)Most tropes listed there were on the Wicked page anyway, some with more context, and I've moved the few that weren't onto the page. Adding Defying Gravity to the cutlist.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.Some other songs do have their own page, mostly for documenting tropes in their music videos as well as the songs proper, given the index of Notable Music Videos (which probably needs a rename). The same troper who made Defying Gravity also made Hips Don't Lie for example. However, I've never seen another song from a musical get its own page, which makes sense as they're often dependent on the musical for full context.
Edited by mightymewtron I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.Songs are allowed to have their own pages, per There's No Such Thing as Notability, it's just that most would be stubs if not troped under their performer/songwriter's Music page. Note that songs would have quotes, not italics.
Link to TRS threads in project mode here.That said, there's no point in separating the song itself from the play, as I don't think it's really taken on a life of it's own outside the play's context.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallYes, I was addressing ~Tropers/jandn2014's point about not seeing pages for songs, why they might be rare, and why we might move them onto other pages. They're allowed, just not common because we would get pages worse than this.
Link to TRS threads in project mode here.I'd say generally if the song is part of a larger work (e.g. a musical) then it should stay on the work page for that larger work. Book chapters, for example, don't get their own pages (there may be an exception if the chapters were published separately, but afaik it isn't kosher). The exception would be when the music video, which is itself a separate work from say the album, is itself tropeable. But the "music video" of a musical's song would just be part of the musical and so not a separate, tropeable work that ought to have its own page.
So I guess I'm just saying merge it back. Maybe send a PM to the troper.
Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they prettyCouldn't we just get a mod to move Notable Music Videos to just Music Videos, along with Notable Flash Videos, Notable Original Music, and Notable Fanfiction Archives? They're indexes, not tropes, and thus don't need TRS.
EDIT: Just realized Music Videos currently redirects to Music Video Tropes. Should this be changed?
Edited by rjd1922 Keet cleanup^ It definitely should. The Advertising index was known as Notable Campaigns, but there's no such thing as notability here.

Apparently, "Defying Gravity", a song from Wicked, has its own page. Most of these tropes only make sense in the context of the musical (and a lot of them are Zero Context Examples to boot), so can it just be merged back into the Wicked page?
