Yeah, just took a look. Seems fine to me. None of the pages are especially short.

The only possible question I can see is the "Other Media" subpage, which became a catch-all for all the short categories. If memory serves, one usually sees such folders directly on the trope page by category instead of in an "Other Media" blue link.

Yeah, using "Other Media" as a catch-all page or folders is frowned upon. The media with not enough content to warrant an individual subpage should be left on the main trope page. That's a very bad habit of some editors, which needs to be quished whenever spotted.

Really? I always thought that the whole issue of creating an other media subpage vs. leaving the folders on the main page was something that depends on who you ask and has no defined standard. Even How to Split a Page says nothing on the subject, instead implying that only work pages would ever need to be split.

If Complete Monster put their Other Media examples on the main page, it would probably be too big to edit.
