All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XI

[robkelk]

On a different spoiler-related note, I think I may have brought this up sometime before, but either way I'm gonna have a go at it now.

So here's the page for Ar tonelico. Is it for the first game in the series, or for the franchise? Actually it's kind of both. There are tagged spoilers for the second and third games... mostly with no indication they're not for the first game. Some other things are just bizarrely out of context. Meanwhile, the page for the second game is refreshingly free of spoilers for the third.

It seems to me like someone who has played the first game thoroughly, but only that one, should have a trope page for it that they can read without getting spoiled. However, I don't know what the best way to handle this is, given that there's some things that really need commenting on in context of the series as a whole. (I've got some ideas, but it's late here.)

Also, this isn't the only example I've seen of this, it's just one that I'm a huge enough fan of to not have forgotten about (and that I know enough about to potentially fix).

What say you, troper-type people?

-Morgan. Not that this is the only problem with those pages, but the others are more straightforward...

Agreed, especially considering that the page itself says "For tropes specific to individual installments, visit their respective work pages."

However, I've never played the game, so all I can do is hang a "Cleanup" template on the top of the page and add "Multiple Works Need Separate Pages" to the page's category cloud.
