Okay, I've started actually doing this. I'm going to use this message to list the pages I've gone through and what "categories" (mostly as listed by Rob in the OP, plus others as I think of them) I think they go in, as I go through them one at a time. Discussion basically can start as soon as I do. <grin>
The following is not yet complete:
General Policy
- All The Tropes:What Goes Where On the Wiki (or as close to wiki policy it can get without actual rules, per se -- our basic organizational plan, could be updated/expanded)
- Forum:All The Tropes/Rules -- Slightly outdated, could use a bit of a rewrite.
Manual of Style
- All The Tropes:Naming a Trope -- good, useful as written.
- All The Tropes:What Do I Call This Entry? -- repeats a few points from Naming a Trope, basically, in a bit more detail. Redundant; can be rolled into Naming a Trope, because despite the title that's what it's about.
- All The Tropes:Clear, Concise, Witty -- Likewise.
- All The Tropes:Trope Namer Syndrome -- good subpage for Naming a Trope, plus it's too big to roll into it.
- All The Tropes:Everything's Worse With Snowclones -- Likewise.
- All The Tropes:Style Guide
- All The Tropes:American and Commonwealth Spellings -- good subpage for the Style Guide, small enough that maybe we should just roll it in.
- All The Tropes:About Rhetorical Questions -- not entirely sure this is worth keeping
- All The Tropes:Handling Spoilers
- All The Tropes:Self-Fulfilling Spoiler -- Does this really need to be a separate page? We already cover this in less words on Handling Spoilers.
- Spoilers Off -- Should be moved into project namespace, is probably useful as-is
- All The Tropes:Example Indentation in Trope Lists -- This should be covered in the Style Guide
Help Pages
- All The Tropes:Trope Workshop Guidelines
- All The Tropes:Works Page Guidelines
- All The Tropes:Creator Page Guidelines
- All The Tropes:Uploading and Adding an Image to a Page
- All The Tropes:Creating New Pages -- While useful, I think we have too many "how to create a page" pages, and this one could go for being too generalized and lacking detail
- All The Tropes:Creating New Redirects
- All The Tropes:Creating Disambiguation Pages
- All The Tropes:How to Alphabetize Things -- keep but make sure the alphabetizing section of the Style Guide is consistent with it
- All The Tropes:How to Pick A Good Image -- We should probably add something about -ND images to the copyright section.
- All The Tropes:How to Write An Example
- All The Tropes:Examples Need Context -- the "Wiki Walking Stick" section needs a minor rewrite because we're already discouraging (and should be converting) numbered subtypes of tropes into named subtypes
- All The Tropes:Examples Are Not Arguable
- All The Tropes:Examples Are Not Recent
- All The Tropes:Examples Are Not Local
Established Functionality
- Trope Workshop
- Lost and Found -- Unreachable redirect that goes to the Forums.
Simple Content
- All The Tropes:History
- In-Universe -- a trope page that needs to be turned into a category
Simply Unneeded
- Weblinks Are Not Examples -- a redirect to All The Tropes:Examples Need Context treated like a separate subject
Policies Subject to Tempbans If Violated
- Nothing Yet
Needs TVT-specific content removed/rewritten
- Nothing Yet
Too TVT-specific to save
- Nothing Yet
