Line 4:
Various shows are [[Trope Overdosed|popular]] or [[Trope Maker|influential]] when it comes to [[trope]]s. One measure is how readily we name tropes from shows or other works.
 
'''This should not be done lightly''' and is not a badge of honor. Using trope namers lightly or as a badge of honor is [[Trope Namer Syndrome]] and leads to confusion, renames, and — as shown in the redlink in this page's quote — possible deletion of tropes.
 
A series usually gets to name a trope if it's ''so'' widely known for the trope (even outside the circle of nerds) it's basically an icon of it, or if it has a term for the situation that is simply [[Made of Win]]. Or if it happens to be the [[Trope Maker]], too. Of course, we do kinda swing closer to the [[Geek]] side of things. But whaddaya expect? This ''is'' [[the Internet]], after all!
