Yeah, I recommend using an actual stack outside a VM, as running importdump inside one causes MW to cry (I know, tried that myself). I suspect that's because PHP demands a heavy amount of processing power, and VM's already have a degraded level of control over that already, and that's probably what is causing the issue.

A trope wiki page existential question: if a page within the body of the wiki does not have at lease one trope should it exist as a stand alone page?

I would say so, especially if the page is meant to be informative of other topics that may pertain to tropes and works but do not directly correlate. (Like Useful Notes).
