Line 10:
* What good's a Trope without a name? An [[Naming a Trope|ideal Trope name]], it's generally agreed, should be punchy but [[SPOON|not too opaque]], understandable [[FORKS|but witty]]. (And a good name can be both at the same time: see [[Politeness Judo]], for example.) Now, different people will have different opinions on what's ''too'' clever for its own good. How do you know when you have a winning title? The guideline is this: when '''three Tropers can agree on a single name''', it's pretty solid. Sometimes, three Tropers may agree on more than one name; it's usually better to go with the majority in this case.

* Most Trope theses are born rough. They need sanding on the edges, polish for the surface, and a good dose of that lighthearted tongue-in-cheek humor we so love 'round these parts. As such, a Trope must be '''left in the [[Trope Workshop]] for three days'''. (Although, honestly, a candidate's tenure in the Workshop is more likely to be measured in weeks or months.) This lets the community request clarification, add their own insight, and maybe point out that, yes, we already <small>DO</small> Have That One.
