Ideally, this is in answer to a YKTTW post that actually asked "Do We Have This One?". Otherwise it would be very embarrassing for the original poster.

Typically a response takes the form of a single link to the trope page, with no explanation. There may even be simultaneous posting by multiple experienced tropers. Again, ideally, this should be sufficient to end the conversation. Yet people can and will continue to post afterwards, particularly if the thread has already gained a large number of posts that newcomers don't bother to read through before replying. Bold Inflation was proposed as a potential cure for this epidemic of illiteracy not long ago.

The question of whether proper wiki etiquette would be "launching" the YKTTW to Discarded YKTTW, to the pre-existing trope page, or waiting for the OP to return and do so themselves, remains unresolved.
