I think that we should move all individual tropes for individual [=SCPs=] to their character entries, leaving the main trope pages with tropes relevant to the greater setting. Individual [=SCPs=] are more like individual works in a larger franchise than characters in a single work, and I think that more effort should be spent on adding these tropes.

Not quite. It sounds like it, but while the \\\"H\\\" in [=SHADO=] does stand for \\\"Headquarters\\\", the acronym actually refers to the entire organization, while \\\"SHADO Headquarters\\\" refers to the actual headquarters of the organization.

So the second \\\"Headquarters\\\" is not redundant. The \\\"H\\\" in [=SHADO=] is not really redundant but an outright misnomer.

This in contrast to [=RAS=] Syndrome where \\\"S\\\" not just means \\\"Syndrome\\\", but the acronym actually refers to the same thing as the whole phrase.

By the way, RASSyndrome is a redlink but it is described under Redundancy.RealLife as \\\"Redunant Acronym Syndrome Syndrome\\\".


TL;DR: It\\\'s not [=RAS=] Syndrome because [=SHADO=] and [=SHADO=] Headquarters are not the same thing.
