We could run a crowner for how to punctuate it. Why not, right?

Rhymes with "Protracted."

I suppose. '[...] in X' doesn't work for me. 'In' does not mean 'with.'

Looks like we don't have enough votes to tell yet but my option ain't doing so hot.

Is there anyway we can give this crowner some more exsposure? This thread dosen't get the most traffic.

Maybe we could put the crowner in TRS?

Moving topics to another thread doesn't help us get to a resolution. Also, it smacks a little bit of redistricting in the hope of getting an electorate more inclined to agree with a particular viewpoint.

I've put in the custom titles. The last step is to make sure we have at least a redirect in the form of Artistic License X for all the items.

So can we lose those banners now? And are we not renaming the stuff on Somewhere This Index Is Crying or the X Goofs? Also noticed there are a couple of cases where the You Fail page is a redirect with little or no usage. Can we cut those?

"{{Artistic License - X}} is da winnah."

Awful decision, terrible titles. Should have left it alone.

Guys, the banners are still there and still say not to list these as tropes.

When were they trivia? I thought they were YMMV, but the banners they have now are equivalent to Flame Bait - restricting examples to the pages themselves.

Wasn't the plan to leave them as regular tropes so we can gather proto-tropes from them?

[up] Yes, that was the plan. They are tropes that will gather, collect, and breed other tropes as media evolves.

Have I mentioned what a terrible, horrible idea this was? First, the new titles are just bad. Second, the old titles were funny. Third, this terrible rename changes the entire meaning. "Artistic License" implies a justifiable change for the sake of storytelling. "You Fail X" implies ignorance or laziness on the part of the writers.

Bad, bad idea.

4-14-2011: I see this discussion has been closed. So FYI, go here for some more feedback on how massively awful this rename is.

4-16-2011: I see that that discussion was deleted. Not sure why no one wants to talk about this anymore.
