72!!Ongoing wick checks:
73* Sandbox/WickChecksAreWorseThanVillains -- misuse, complaining
74* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: Clearly a Darth Wiki article in Main. Its counterpart is already in the Sugar Wiki and once the wick check is done I will bring this in. '''Complaining'''. [[Sandbox/TheProblemWithLicensedWickChecks Finish checking 50 wicks.]]
75* AudienceAlienatingPremise: Trope has issues with misuse--supposed to be for works which failed due to a bizarre premise, used instead for any work with a bizarre premise, which might be complaining and overly common. WordOfGod requirement may be necessary. '''Misused'''. [[Sandbox/AudienceAlienatingPremiseWickCheck Finish checking 50 wicks]].
76
77!!TRS to-do list
78[[folder:Completed wick checks[=/=][=OPs=]]]
79* {{Feelies}}: Actually Trivia. Queued up.
80* LGBTFanbase: Misuse and vague name. Queued up.
81* MidflightWaterTouching: Not tropeworthy. Queued up.
82* BuryYourArt: Misuse, unclear scope. Queued up.
83* CartoonWhale: Tropeworthiness and noteworthiness issues. Queued up.
84* SapientCetaceans: Misuse for alien cetacean races. Queued up.
85* TeachingThroughAccident: Not thriving. Queued up.
86[[/folder]]
87
88[[folder:No wick check or OP yet]]
89* NintendoHard: Repeatedly brought up as a YMMV move candidate. Will eventually wick check this to see if it should be brought in. TNTRS says there are other problems too. '''Needs Help'''. Check 75 wicks--maybe collaboratively.
90* BadassAdorable: A bigger project than others. Suspected of being "badass + adorable" along with being a subjective non-YMMV trope. '''Needs Help'''. Will do this one later due to a larger wick count--may need to be collaborative as it's 85 wicks.
91* {{Worldbuilding}}: May be an OmnipresentTrope as discovered by [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=16543489230A19189200 a Trope Talk thread]]. '''Needs Help'''. Check 50 wicks.
92* TwelveEpisodeAnime: Written like a UsefulNotes page as a TropeTalk [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=16520604110A09304700 thread]] discovered, possibly too common, may also need an index or D-O conversion. '''Needs Help'''. Check 50 wicks.
93* {{Hunk}}: ZCE magnet, suffers shoehorning for any character tropers find attracting. Courtesy of the Sandbox/AppearanceTropesCleanup. (Currently unsure of what category this goes in). 50 wick check ongoing.
94* GoodBadBugs: According to Administrivia/TropesNeedingTRS, it combines "funny bugs" and "exploitable bugs" and conflates the existence of the bugs with the opinion of the player base about them. May be a tough wick check but will be done eventually. '''Unclear Description'''. Check 59 wicks.
95* AccidentalAesop: Per TNTRS, intended for a positive aesop not intended by the creator interpreted by the audience, but misused instead for unintended bad aesops along with overlap examples with DarthWiki/WarpThatAesop and AlternateAesopInterpretation. TNTRS entry suggested a WordOfGod requirement and Trivia move, like CreatorsApathy (formerly TheyJustDidntCare). '''Misused'''. Check 50 wicks.
96* VirtualYouTuber: Formatted with a trope list and list of [=VTubers=], yet in Main. TNTRS suggested a UN move. '''Really a Useful Note'''. If checked, 50 wicks need checking.
97* OuijaBoard: As TNTRS says, "Ouija boards exist" isn't a trope but there are tropable concepts in OuijaBoard. '''Not Tropeworthy'''. Check 50 wicks.
98* LaterInstallmentWeirdness: A [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=16544771620A94105000 Trope Talk thread]] indicated that the concept behind this may not be worth documenting, as works can change and "later installment weirdness" can stop being weird. Other tropes also already cover this concept. '''Needs Help'''. Check 50 wicks.
99* SpectacularSpinning: A TRS meta thread comment a while back brought up that this trope may have example overlap with SpinAttack along with attracting [=ZCEs=]. '''Not Tropeworthy'''. Check 50 wicks. May need an index conversion as was suggested.
100* JustEatGilligan: A [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=16569657320A27066000 Trope Talk thread]] indicated that the trope suffers from a poor name, unclear definition, and possible duplication with TheMillstone. '''Unclear Description'''. Check 50 wicks.
101* VillainKiller: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=16530021320A77772900 Trope Talk discussion]], may have misuse for any character who kills a lot of enemies, even if that isn't a ''character trait'' per se. Noted that the trope is confusing. Rename suggested. '''Misused'''. Check 50 wicks.
102* LookOnMyWorksYeMightyAndDespair: Per [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1650029440085848900&page=1#comment-13 this]], suffers from poor title and image, possible misuse. '''Ambiguous Name'''. Check 50 wicks.
103* PolishTheTurd: Per TNTRS, filled with complaining, overly subjective yet classified as objective, general examples amongst other problematic examples, etc. Previous TRS thread suggested IUEO, but it didn't pan out as there weren't enough of those examples. May need a cut, disambiguation, or something like that. '''Complaining'''. Check 50 wicks.
104* CreatorKiller: Must be a work that caused the "killing", but non-works are sometimes listed. Noticed in the X Killer cleanup thread. May need an expansion. '''Misused'''. Check 50 wicks.
105* PortingDisaster: Complaining magnet, probably better as Darth. Discovered in a TropeTalk thread about possible future FlameBait items. '''Complaining'''. Check 50 wicks.
106* ObviousCrossoverMethod: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=16123601190A56231500&page=29#comment-720 Identified]] as a possibly YMMV concept listed as a Main trope. '''Needs Help'''. Check all 48 wicks.
107* BalanceBuff: Might be Trivia, as mentioned [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=16618925150A45292000&page=1#comment-5 here]]. '''Needs Help'''. Check 50 wicks.
108* MandelaEffect: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13543987200A54420100&page=883#comment-22053 Suspected]] of being poorly-defined, and attracting nitpicking misuse similar to the misuse that CriticalResearchFailure suffered prior to its disambiguation. '''Misused'''. Check 50 wicks, or all 96.
109* CommonKnowledge: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=16629239780A06931200&page=1#comment-13 Brought up in an attempted cleanup thread]] as a possible TRS candidate. Possibly not tropeworthy--check for misuse as well for niche "common knowledge" along with entries that overlap with FandomEnragingMisconception. '''Needs Help'''. Check 50 wicks.
110* TroubledProduction: Per [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13327578050A72722200&page=410#comment-10242 this]], attracts misuse for productions that weren't troubled and just had, as Tropers/{{laserviking42}} put it in the comment, things "tangential to the work at hand". A cut or conversion into a Trivia item were suggested. '''Misused'''. Check 62 wicks for misuse.
111* SatireParodyPastiche: Found in the wild. Not a trope, but listed and used as one. '''Not Tropeworthy'''. Check 50 wicks.
112* {{Jaccuse}}: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1426750858042389600&page=213#comment-5303 Noted]] as being a stock phrase with all examples merely being uses of the term in fiction. '''Not Tropeworthy'''. Check all 38 wicks.
113* DamageSpongeBoss: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=16419338830A53856900&page=19#comment-457 Noted]] as having undergone Administrivia/TropeDecay--it is being misused for any boss with a lot of health, rather than, as Tropers/MyTimingIsOff put it, "a very basic boss fight that is little more than a war of attrition, with little strategy beyond "hit it until it dies"". '''Misused'''. Check 50 wicks.

115
116[[folder:There may not be a problem, but do a wick check anyway to see]]
117* WreakingHavok: Unclear name, slightly unclear definition, noticed complaining in some wicks. Check 50 wicks.
118* RomanticismVersusEnlightenment: Supposed to be about a conflict between the two, but apparently gets misused for which one the tone or message of a work leans towards. Description issues too. Discovered in [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/discussion.php?id=lqry614wzxzvonn13cf7an26 this TLP draft]], will be a really tough project but I'll see what I can do. Check 50 wicks.
119* BigFun: Specifically for ''good'' characters who are fat and likable. Misuse for non-good characters? [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/query.php?parent_id=114152&type=att This ATT]] involving a low-context example piqued my interest--maybe the name is too vague. Check 50 wicks.
120* EskimosArentReal: Well, the problem is mainly that I don't know ''what'' to check, but there's been long-standing concern about this trope name being offensive, and the Isolated Pages tool flagged its quotes page recently. Check 50 wicks (once I know what to check).
121* BadExportForYou: Name is more negative than the concept. Don't really know how bad the use is, but check anyway to see. Check 50 wicks.
122* UnderusedGameMechanic: Found in the wild, may have similar problems to TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot. Check 50 wicks.
123* PopularityPolynomial: I don't know what to check, but there are tropeworthiness [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13543987200A54420100&page=759#comment-18975 concerns]] here. Possibly misuse? Check 50 wicks.
