For consideration

What are we going to do tonight, Brain?
The same thing we do every night, Pinky: Try to clean up the wiki!

Standing Reminders

Double-check the templates listed at Category:Template Needs Annual Updates at least once a year.

Cleanup

Fan-made videos need sorting

Can we get Category:Images imported from TV Tropes without an identified license down to zero entries before the turn of the millennium century next decade?

The works listed in the subpages of Turn of the Millennium need to be tagged with the appropriate "$MEDIUM of the 2000s" categories - which, at this point, need to be created first.

Short-term Project: use the public-domain writeups at the LOC's National Film Registry brief descriptions page to turn the redlinks on the National Film Registry page into stub pages.

Consolidate duplicate lists

Keep these pages:

Move examples from these pages:

Symbols for The Grand List of Overused Science Fiction Clichés

The Symbols:
The green check marks those items which are not so bad, but have been used so many times that it takes a really strong treatment to lift them out of the slush pile. They will not destroy an otherwise well-written story, and some of the classics employ these elements (and employ them well).
x The triple Z marks those items which were mildly interesting the first time around, but simply provoke a response along the lines of "been there, done that" on the re-runs. Only a truly bizarre twist on these ideas can give them new life.
The green cross marks those items which are baloney, but are tolerable for the sake of dramatic effect as long as the events of the story do not depend on them.
x The red question mark indicates those items which support the plot, but raise questions that should be answered in order for the story to be taken seriously. For instance, having a robot bleed oil when it gets shot is pretty lame; having a hydraulic robot leak hydraulic fluid when shot is creditable.
x The bull marks those items which for one reason or another are bull. Reasons include flatly contradicting the known laws of nature, introducing an irreconcilable contradiction, requiring the characters involved to have the IQ of a banana peel, or being abysmally stupid for some other reason.
x The Starfleet logo marks those items for which Star Trek has been an offender.
x The piggy marks those items that are unconscionably sexist.
x The Klansman hood marks those items that show racial, ethnic, or religious bigotry. (See note on this.)
