Administrivia / Pages Needing a Better Description

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Administrivia/PagesNeedingABetterDescription

You've just launched a page, it may or may not have a good name, you may or may not know what index it fits in, but you can't think of a good description. In the case of a trope, TLP was too short, too dry, not clear, etc.

Alternatively, maybe you have simply come upon a page with a description that is... insufficient. If you feel unable (or unwilling) to fix it at the time, you could put it on your To-Do List and fix it later. However, if you want to evoke a bit of Wiki Magic for the task, you've come to the right place. Here is what you can do:

Add a link to the offending page to one of the categories at the bottom of this page (try to be specific).
Put a note on the offending page's Discussion page explaining what the problem is with the description.

For best results, please complete both action items listed above.

Please do not mark pages that simply seem less-than-perfect. Such issues can be irritating but are often easily remedied, so please resist the urge to share such pages with others and just fix them.

We're looking for defects severe enough they need attention, and that might need the attention of more than a single Troper. See the categories below for some of the reasons you might list a page here. There are also two Special Efforts forum threads that list some common issues with trope and work descriptions, and are a good place to ask for help: Trope Description Improvement Drive and Improving work and creator page descriptions.

If you want to help clean up pages listed below, here are a few pointers:

You don't have to be cute, just understandable. When in doubt, be Boring, but Practical.
We have Indexes for related tropes/works, you don't need to reference every similar page within the article.
Remember that page quotes are optional; their inclusion should be helpful to the description, not merely cool or funny.
Unless the trope is an index and has dozens of different connotations, there is no need to write a dissertation. Simple, short descriptions help keep the examples clear.
Examples go in the Examples list, the description should be free of them. The only exceptions may be the Trope Namers or Older Than They Think examples.

For the convenience of those working on this list, it is divided into a number of subcategories. Please try to keep these up-to-date by correcting categorizations as needed. Obviously, some of the categorization is subjective, so feel free to move something that seems to be in the wrong place. If you put a page on the list of defective pages, please also put a note in the Discussion for that page as to what seems to be the problem.

Once you've corrected the problems (or if you find a description that Magic seems to have already repaired), please remove the link from this list. In general, please remember to delete items from these lists as you move or complete them. The list tends to pile up, so please try to help keep it clean—make certain you are putting your listing in the proper place.

If you're hankering to fix something, but don't feel like addressing the articles listed here, you might take a look at the items listed under Pages Needing Wiki Magic for other things needing a bit of help.

Tropes needing general refinement

Alliterative Title
Amnesiac Costume Identity: Description is too short.
And Here He Comes Now
Answering Echo
Baseball Episode: Too much filler and not enough description of what these plots usually entail (characters trying to be good at the sport, the struggles of picking a good team, what the character's favorite player says about them)
Born Detective
Bowled Over
Borrowed Catchphrase: Too short.
Brother–Sister Team: Too short; focuses entirely on children's media.
Burning Rubber: Description is too short and needs some links to related tropes.
Captive Audience: Description is barely two sentences.
Chandelier Swing
Character Overlap: Description is just two terse sentences and needs expansion.
Children in Tow
Come Back, My Pet!
The Con
Conscious While Possessed: Description is a single paragraph and a handful of related tropes.
Cool Board: Description is one "sentence" and doesn't elaborate on what makes said boards cool; examples run the gamut from "magic skateboards" to "character has a board."
Cut the Fuse
Don't Do Anything I Wouldn't Do: Expand and add a section comparing with related tropes.
Door Focus
Drop the Washtub
Ensemble of Exes: A couple of short paragraphs that don't go a long way to describing how the trope works.
Episode Discussion Scene
"Everything Explodes" Ending: One short paragraph explaining how it's comedic, yet some examples are clearly dramatic and there's not much distinguishing it from Stuff Blowing Up
Fake Radio Show Album
Fantastic Fighting Style
Far-Out Foreigner's Favorite Food: Two line description, unclear what trope really is.
Fauxshadow
Finger on Lips
The Finicky One: Description is only two sentences long. Unclear what it actually encompasses and how it differs from similar tropes like The Perfectionist and Obsessively Organised.
Flying Books
Forging Scene
Funny Robot
Geeky Analogy: Needs to have most of the description rewritten and description added.
Gender-Bent Alternate Universe
...Get a Stupid Answer
Gluttony Montage
Gratuitous Italian
Hammerspace Parachute: Even for a rather self-explanitory trope, the descripition is very short.
Hands Go Down
Implausible Boarding Skills: Much like Cool Board, severely lacks a description or definition of what makes boarding skills implausible.
Informal Eulogy: Description lacks context and leans too hard on video game association.
Is the Answer to This Question "Yes"?
Killer Gorilla
Lampshade Hanging: Current description spends too much time describing definitions of the works and describing the writer between trope; these are all better covered on other trope pages. It doesn't spend enough time exploring what a Lampshade Hanging would actually look like.
Lime
Living Statue: Not all of these are monsters
A Long Time Ago, in a Galaxy Far, Far Away: The description is too terse and it's unclear what the important facets are.
Marked to Die
Meta
Metaphysical Fuel: Too short. It spends more time saying what the trope it's not about rather than what it actually is about.
Midair Collision: Way too brief.
Miko: Specifically, could someone explain what exactly shrine maidens are supposed to do?
Minion Maracas
Moving Target Bonus: Too short.
Multi-Character Title: Description is too short and there's a lack of media categorization.
Music Soothes the Savage Beast: The description is too brief and too short; it needs more explaining
Must Have Lots of Free Time: The first paragraph is very much not about what the trope is about.
Network Sideswipe: The description is short enough to be a laconic.
No Intelligent Life Here: No actual definition; instead, it's relying on Example as a Thesis.
Nostril Shot: Expand the first paragraph so it describes the trope's storytelling significance.
Ondo: 2 lines and no image, 01-19-2016.
The Paranoiac: Description lists a set of criteria which are only tangentially relevant to the actual trope and which the vast majority of the examples don't actually fit.
Pet Rat: Needs a longer description and an image, could also do with adding to some indexes.
Phlebotinum Dependence
Picnic Episode: Relatively short and may be overly specific.
Prank Injuries
Pressure Plate
Pummel Duel
Rabid Cop
Ram by Braking
"Right Now" Montage: The description makes the trope overlap too much with Contrast Montage and Meanwhile Scene.
Robo Ship
Robot Dog
Role-Playing Game 'Verse
Runaway Hideaway
Samurai Shinobi: Current description spends too much time describing definitions of samurai and shinobi, and describing the samurai-shinobi conflict trope; these are all better covered on other trope pages. It doesn't spend enough time exploring what a samurai-shinobi fusion would actually look like.
Schiff One-Liner
Second-Face Smoke
Self-Adaptation - The description is brief and needs work.
Shadow Dictator
Sink or Swim Fatherhood: The Example as a Thesis is too cute for its own good.
Slow-Motion Drop
Smarmy Host
Soapbox Square
Sorry I'm Late
So You Were Saying...?
Special Thanks
Sphere Eyes
Spike Balls of Doom
Splash of Color: Description is very short; can use a bit of an expansion.
Split and Reunion
Stars Are Souls
Static Electricity
Stock Audio Clip: Needs a bigger description.
Trampoline Tummy
Textplosion: The description is biased against the trope when it should explain it neutrally. It's also not to-the-point.
Unfinished Dub: Example as a thesis from the perspective of the audience; fails to elaborate on company backgrounds behind unfinished dubs or other specific trivia.
Was Just Leaving: Example as a thesis and only three lines long.
Weapon Running Time: Could use some expanding.
Wheelchair Antics
Wind-Up Key
Word-Salad Humor: Description is too short, barely describes the trope.
Vagabond Buddies: Very short description, unclear what the relationship with other Duo Tropes and hobo is.
Voice Clip Song
You Are the New Trend
Zombie Fic: Description is literally one line long.

Works best described by their fans

Anime and Manga

A-Ji and C-Ro's War Against Their Gorgeous Daily Lives: Says it's a one-shot parody of the Yaoi Genre, and that it got a sequel. There's nothing about the actual plot of the book.
Guin Saga
Innocent Venus: Could use some love from someone less biased.
Legendz: Description has 1–2 non-descriptive sentences about the setting and plot before talking about its development and IRL popularity.
My Hero Academia HLB
Wonder Beat Scramble: Page has little details on the show beyond a rather lacking plot synopsis. With no information on its publication history.

Blogs

Always Having Juice: Needs more expansion on how characters and the plot differ from the Sonic the Hedgehog games, comics, and animation its based on. The character bit is elaborated on in the current description, the plot, not so much. All info needed is on the blog, just sift through the tags for each character. (Thanks Calamity Jane!)

Children of an Elder God
Chronicles of the Celestial House
Kurogane: Copied directly from Wikipedia.
Something Wicked (MelittaRilow)

Film

Beowulf (1999): Despite numerous changes from the source material, the page is lacking in much information beyond the first part where Beowulf is preparing to face Grendel.
The Crush
Furry Vengeance
Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Fourze & OOO: Movie War Mega Max: Needs a basic description of each part (not copied from Wikipedia, okay if some portions are combined)
Lupinranger VS Patranger VS Kyuranger: Page just says which shows were involved with the crossover and nothing about the plot. Further note, most of these Super Sentai (and sister series Kamen Rider) crossover films need better descriptions, as most of them do this.
Outsourced
Scent of a Woman
Steel Magnolias
Step Up: Too long; currently runs through each film in the franchise. 01-19-2016

Literature

The Blademourner Trilogy
Everybody Loves Large Chests: Page description contains only the barest details (it follows an idiot Chest Monster), followed by the titles of the books in the series.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Trilogy: Needs expanding on its differences between the franchise and literature series page.
Id
Johannes Cabal the Detective
Kiss (2007)
Lorna Doone

Let's Plays

Music

Series

Bugs: The page essentially says, "it's like The Avengers (1960s) but bad", and "go read Wikipedia".
It Takes a Thief (1968)
The Smoking Room
Messenger of Allah: Description mostly focuses on its production history and doesn't explain the plot at all. (It also, for some reason, claims it's ironic that the manga survives, while the show is lost, without explaining why it would be ironic.)

Tabletop Games

Hunchback: The Lurching
Splicers: The current description is a bit too sarcastic and doesn't quite explain the lore beyond that it's a Robot War with humanity using Organic Technology. ^note

Video Games

Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (Capcom)
Crystal Towers 2
Dangun Feveron

A Statement To Be Made: Odd formatting aside, the page is somewhat lacking in information beyond "you're in a dream world."
TNK III: Description is basically just that it shares a main character with Ikari Warriors.
The Warriors
The Way (RPG Maker)
