[up]seconding

at the very least there is some merit to the method, even if it is an advertisement

I don't think you're just allowed to add ideas to the crowner if there's no discussion behind them.

Huh? Never read anything like that in the How Crowners Work guidelines. Just that regular tropers can't create new crowners, but nothing about adding options to an existing one. I apologize if I'm in the wrong, though.

It's more of a TRS-specific thing simply because if new options get added it prolongs how long the crowner can be up, and new options can also alter the votes (either if people never see it or if it picks up a lot of traction despite not being discussed beforehand).

I was actually considering whether the Website/ namespace would be more fitting than UsefulNotes/ previously, so I'll let this one slide.

Please discuss the addition of new options next time, please.

Again, sorry, I didn't pick up that rule. It won't happen in the future and thanks [up][up] for explaining.

I'm honestly good with moving to Website/ (though seriously, we need to find a namespace for softwares)

Calling in favor of moving to the Website/ namespace + Books on Trope.

Move done. I have also posted in a cleanup thread for Books on Trope about it.

Edit: And now we're done. The cut was made as it's customary for Main/ redirects to work pages. Closing.

Crown Description:

  • The Dramatica article does not describe a trope, but a method of narrative analysis. It can be applied to almost any work. Some of the categories on this page resemble tropes on this wiki, but the page insists on using alternative names for these tropes (for example, The Spock is "The Reason"). (If there were enough of these, perhaps the page could be made into an index, but there are not.) In addition, the concept came from a piece of software .
  • Ordinarily, it would make sense to do a wick check. However, the page has only 10 wicks, only one of which is from a work page. That work page is The Croods, and the wick is not from an example, but from a Pothole. There are no examples on the page either, at least not in a traditional sense. Toy Story 1 and Gurren Lagann are just used like Alice And Bob to explain the trope. There are a variety of works mentioned, but these are all Zero Context Examples. Actually, it's unclear whether they're examples at all, or if all of the Twelve Essential Questions would have to be answered for a work in order to count it as an example (and this is never the case).
  • What should be done with Dramatica?
