I think you must have picked up the namespace thing from me. I've tended to use the technical definition, relating to PmWiki's use of it: anything before the slash is a namespace, like "Main". I will be broken of that habit on the new wiki, I hope. In this case, there are Trivia subpages for a bunch of articles, which house examples of Trivia Tropes (I'm sure you know this, but I'm saying it for clarity).
When you say that the Trivia tropes "really do fit there", what exactly do you mean? I'd like to be able to have something clear that we can tell people when
they ask what kind of trope something is, rather than just to say,
"Well, Trivia is all the things that aren't other kind of tropes."
Because that's not really helpful at all, and especially so to
newcomers.

Main/Trope Wrote:"Trope" has the even more general meaning of a pattern in storytelling,Despite the fact that this seems to be contradicted by Administrivia/Not A Trope, I'm starting to wonder if this list is the summary for each type of trope and which work subpages we should use:
not only within the media works themselves, but also in related aspects
such as the behind-the-scenes aspects of creation, the technical
features of a medium, and the fan experience. The idea being that
storytelling is not just writing, it is the whole process of creating
and telling/showing a story.
- [Main] - Patterns in storytelling
- Production Notes - related aspects such as the behind-the-scenes aspects of creation, the technical features of a medium
- YMMV - The fan experience
- Trivia? -- Everything else. Is there anything else?
- Christmas Rushed is a trope because rushing the product affects the quality of its content, usually negatively. It affects the 'telling' part of storytelling, so it's a trope, though the examples on the page are ... meh.
- Acclaimed Flop and Cult Classic both seem like audience reactions, though they're both reasonably easy to provide concrete evidence for. My guess is that at some point TRS voted to keep Cult Classic off of YMMV, but I can't tell for sure -- I'm still banned from reading the TVT forums. But they are essentially the same idea (subset of people really like the film that doesn't do as well with the general audience), and thus belong in the same place. Probably YMMV.
- Creator Standpoint Index: Probably good as is, because I can't think of a category it belongs in more.
- Character/Actor relationship: Belong together, and I'd guess in production. Though you could make an argument for storytelling. But there's no reason for them to be separate.
