Reality Ensues has been changed to Surprisingly Realistic Outcome, so look over the new namespace and its stricter definition before adding examples.
As of my last edit, there's a few things that could be done in terms of style edits. Obviously, no rules or anything, but it might be helpful in terms of looking good and matching most of the page.
-Removing nicknames, the principal offenders being Cat and Black. If we use Black, it can cause confusion for someone unfamiliar with the series between our beloved Amadeus, when we reference his Name of Black Knight, and when we're referencing other Black Knights. As for Cat vs Catherine, it's not a huge deal, so long as we stick with one or the other. My personal preference is for Catherine since everybody else would be referenced by their proper name.
-In general, preferring names over Names. Especially as the series grows longer and people lose and gain Names, this gets a bit clunky. For example, the Name of Apprentice now has three on-screen holders as of Book 6: Wekesa, Masego, and Sapan. Maybe there should be an exception for tropes such as Five-Man Band where the Name is more important than the character, as long as a specific context/timespan is indicated.
- (For discussion), unspoilering at least Book 1, and leaving a warning at the start of the tropes. A case can even made for unspoilering Book 2 as well, but that's a bit aggressive. With the way the series has a rapidly growing scale, any spoilers from Book 1 (and even Book 2) are inconsequential for the series at large. I haven't done this yet, but just tossing it into the ring for consideration.
Also, a major trope that needs to be added is Reality Ensues, for which I removed a few things that were scattered around. I promise I'm not randomly deleting stuff!
