Okay, I've been spending some time just going through Trivia pages one at a time.
This could take a while. (Especially since I keep catching myself starting to wiki walk...)
But there's a few things I'd like to mention, and possibly get some input on.
-At some point I seem to have ended up under the impression that "Trivia" was it's own namespace. This is wrong. And that's okay.
-I'm also starting to feel like most of the Trivia entries really do fit there. So there's probably not a huge need for wholesale changes to things.
-There are things that really look like they belong in Audience Reaction (and thus under YMMV). Why is "Acclaimed Flop" Triva and "Cult Classic" not?
-And what about creator's reactions to things? There's the "Creator Standpoint Index". (Although I'm not sure why "Creator-Preferred Adaptation" isn't in it.) It doesn't feel like the handling of this is quite right, but I'm not sure what would be. It's not a trope, it doesn't fit the way YMMV works, but Trivia doesn't seem quite right either. It's probably not a big deal if it continues to live there though.
-It seems like a lot of the potential "Production Notes" stuff is coming out of "Real Life Writes the Plot". (For instance, this contains the various "Method Acting" entries, a big part of what got me onto this to start with.) And there's some real weird comparisons to make here. Take two items that involve the status of a character changing due to the status of the actor changing. But "Character Aged with the Actor" goes on the main page, while "The Character Died with Him" goes in Trivia. That doesn't seem quite on. And there's some examples there that seem like they should go the other way - how is "Christmas Rushed" a trope again?
-Morgan.
