Hedge Trimmer: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

A lot of polite wiki authors are uncomfortable with outright deleting fragments, which result in a [[Wiki Schizophrenia|sentence full of exceptions]] and [[Weasel Words]]. Meanwhile, the Hedge Trimmer is a merciless subspecies of [[Lumper vs. Splitter|Lumper]], editing things down to be as concise as possible like a sheep goes at grass. While how long an article is usually depends either on how much one writer can ramble or how long a good explanation needs to be, the Hedge Trimmer figures an article should be as long as its assumed effect or importance. [[Memetic Mutation|Too Long, Didn't Read]] is used unironically, and some articles are thought not to dignify the use of the scrollbar. Discussion pages especially are glossed over like Martian instruction manuals.
