I am amused that I must start this post with almost exactly the same language that Rob used for his proposal below: No matter how many trope candidates we've launched in 2021 and early 2022, we just can't get the number of candidates below 40, let alone down to something manageable -- which, considering how many active Tropers we have editing ATT, is IMHO less than a dozen.

Outside of pages still in the main namespace which are displayed in the workshop due to the inclusion of the Trope Workshop category in the {{tl|tropestub}} template, the majority of pages in the Workshop are ''old'' -- some were created a year ago, many others a year and a half or even over two years ago. We have elsewhere stated that pages stay in the Workshop until they're ready to leave, but that assumed that people were actually ''working on them''. We have far too many "old" pages that have been ignored for six, eight, twelve or more months. A good example would be [[Trope_Workshop:The_Bully_is_a_Nerd&action=history|The Bully is a Nerd]]: Proposed in ''December 2019'', and except for an edit I made in June 2021 to fix some grammar and add a link, it was last edited in ''January 2021'' -- and the last time before that was ''July 2020''.
