Discussion History MediaNotes / MohsScaleOfScienceFictionHardness

I agree that a second page prolly wouldn\\\'t survive for long. It would be seen as redundant, and deleted... However, a YKTTW could be created, perhaps. I\\\'ve seen the YKTTW used a couple of times to \\\"work on\\\" tropes, rather than just propose new ones, so perhaps this would be an appropriate use? It would have the advantage of getting lots of people\\\'s opinions through comments (... if people are interested enough to comment, that is :P), helping to gauge just how (un)popular such a change would be and perhaps getting more input than it would here in Discussion, and the entire list could be re-sorted gradually, with everyone getting input, and with an already-sorted article complete and ready should the change ever actually be made.

I suppose if we wanted to get serious about this change (which I have to admit I didn\\\'t anticipate... :P) this could be coupled with (or, perhaps better, preceded by) a submission to the Trope Repair Shop, perhaps with a Crowner, to further see how people react and to get more attention. >_>

But such a fundamental change to such a huge, popular, and... also fundamental article might not be particularly popular. I guess it did eventually win RobinZimm over to some extent... :P

Edit: Whoops, missed your last comment, RobinZimm. I have not read that article... sound quite interesting indeed. It might bear mention in the main article as an interesting examination of sci-fi hardness, regardless of any other changes made...
