Yeah, it's easier that way. No trope has like, more than about 10 redirects, so even if we didn't count them, if they make it on this list, they'd hit a threshold soon anyway.

As the threshold for the page has been increased, I've moved the entries who didn't meet the new threshold to Tropes By Wick Count. Feel free to maintain the list there too.

Should the dates be changed to ISO 8601 (YYYY-MM-DD) for readability? It's unambiguous (putting the year and a dash means it's probably ISO 8601) and also more natural (more significant digits appear further left in written numbers).

Probably. If someone does a big chance and does it all at once, well, I won't be against it.

Film Noir is a genre 1800+ wicks... But it's Page Typed as a trope. It's weird.
Do we re-Type it into an Index or something so it doesn't sound like it should go on here?
Film Serial is similar, but only ~100 wicks.

I'll probably do it in a few days if there's no resistance to the change.
I'm fine with it, I just don't care enough to figure out the regex and stuff for it. Thanks for offering!

just how do you count these? go through every page in the entire tv tropes website, that'd take a long time.

If you look around the the top of the page there is a button with the word "Related" and a few chain links. Clivk on it and there it states the amount of pages linked to it. For example this
is the pages that link to the Overdosed Tropes page.

No such trope exists.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman
There is currently (early August, 2012) some discussion as to whether or not to increase the thresholds on the Trope Overdosed page, in order to:
- Not have the top category cluttered
- Have the page be more "exclusive"
While the first point isn't a problem here, I'd say the second point definitely is. We have far too many pages on this index as a result of setting the bar insufficiently high.
I would suggest making the lowest threshold either 3000 or 3500.

I could support moving it up to 3000. As the site grows, so do the number of wicks, so highly wicked works become more and more common.
That was discussed here in the past.
I have a question - how do I find tropes that are not already listed as being close to the required 2500 pages on Overdosed Tropes, but may still have acquired the necessary page count?

Click the "related" button on the top. The number of "wicks" is the number of pages it appears on.
Should I count redirects when determining whether a trope is overdosed?
