Special:Badtitle/NS90:User talk:QuestionableSanity/Hierarchical reorganization of media types on Tropes template

While I like the idea behind this, I have some problems with it in actual practice.

It adds a level of complexity to the trope list that I think will be counterintuitive, and it breaks the simple alphabetization of media types that helps our readers quickly find what they're interested in. For example, with pages organized as they are now, if I want to see Comic Book examples, I can find the link immediately. With this new scheme, I have to go searching for it -- and if I'm not sure what category it should be in, I can't even be sure we have that section without scrolling through the entire page.

I think this will cause more trouble than it's worth.

I'm also not sure I want to see the inconsistency between "old" pages and "new" ones, nor do I want to (by implication) impose the task of converting one to the other on the wiki with so much cleanup from the initial conversion still needed.

That said, the new media types themselves are worth keeping. I just don't think we should add that extra level of categorization to them.
