All The Tropes:How to Do A Wick Check: Difference between revisions

You can find a page's list of wicks by going to that page and then clicking on "What links here" in the Tools section of the menu along the left edge of the page. Sadly, there's no automatic tallying of the total wick count, but the pagination of this list (which can be set to 20, 50, 100, 250 or 500 entries per page) along with the "Displayed X Items" notice at the top of the list should make it easy to work out the exact number of pages that link to the page you're interested in.

If, on the other hand, what you want to do is make some point about the ''quality'' of the wicks -- the kind of context they arise in, whether they are using the trope correctly, whether they tend to be vague hand-waving or spot-on -- you're going to need to actually go in there and look at them individually. Now, theoretically it would be best if you could just click on wick after wick and see how all of them are doing, but we do not recommend doing that if you value your sanity. Instead you're going to have to look at a representative sample.
