Separate tropes from works. It would make a more efficient way to verify that a trope is both on a work and a trope's page.

Is there much overlap?

Most of the time tropes go on works pages and works go on trope pages.

Tropes can have a lot of overlap, since there are all the 'Compare'; 'Contrast'; 'See also'; and 'Not to be confused with' entries; plus any potholes it's used for, in the description of an example.

True, I was being kind of linear.

It would be useful to have the Related To page sorted by page type, especially for the pages with a lot of wicks.

I know we got Eddie to hide the Troper namespace, so this isn't too far.

Troper namespace or contributor type? That's not the same thing. You need the type for telling the difference between works and tropes.

To me, the "Related" page needs a lot of work. In general, needs user-selectable options so we can customize what's shown on the page, rather than just One Default View To Rule Them All.

Is this still wanted? Clocking to clarify.

Sorting by namespace would be useful

It might be useful to see Creator/ pages separately from other results when checking the wicks for a work page.
