Currently, the page for Stardust mingles tropes and scene descriptions from the novel and the movie, often not even stating which source, film or book. As the film adaption differs dramatically from the novel, both in plot and characters, I propose that the page is either split into two entries: Stardust (novel) and Stardust (film), or at least that the tropes on the page are split into two lists, one for tropes occuring in the novel and one for tropes in the (shitty) movie. — Schlitzruessler

That sounds like a good idea. Though I wouldn't go so far as to call the movie 'shitty'. (Probably because I'm one of those people who actually preferred the movie's ending to the book's.)

If you're going to split the examples for the novel and film, you could just do a soft split before doing the actual split.

Sadly, examples are still getting mixed. I saw quite a few confusing posts on Film.Stardust article that referred to scenes from the movie.

Conversely, Polish autumn is either absolutely ugly (if it's wet), or one of the most gorgeous sights on this Lord's good red-golden earth

So, yeah, what's Yvaine's C Mo A? It's weird to reference it without stating what it is.

It's a spoiler, is what it is. It shouldn't be in the trope list, anyway; the separate CMOA section exists for a reason.
