Scarab Not convinced I'm right here, but does anyone else think that maybe Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped should go somewhere else? I know it's a positive affirmation and all, but I find that link contains references to things such as, say... Threads, and other topics not known for being pleasant. Thoughts?
Dinru:Why is the entire front page in italics?
Jade Eyed 1: A better question? Who the hell created a page for Candle Cove on here?! And why?!
Working Title: Nameless YKTTW: From YKTTW
Right now, Nov 18 @ 8 pm, everything is red links. So no, sweet does not exist. You may continue.
The Adversary: the anthem is so over the top it's awesome XD
Cliché: It's from Mother. In that universe, music is all powerful. It even "defeats" the final boss.
Kalle: As a hardcore Mother fan, I applaud this decision. 8]
CAD: Interesting... think we could make the background pink, like the Darth Wiki is black?
Cliché: The most manly colour of all! I'm for it! But for practicality reasons, not too bright.
C Trombley: Shouldn't this page be all about the Tastes Like Diabetes? It should be ugly and weird, if it were reasonable it would go on the Main Wiki right? I am using an interrogative sentence?
Wascally Wabbit: can it be pink with white text? to much of an eyesore?
Trouser Wearing Barbarian: White-on-pink wouldn't just be an eyesore, it would be practically unreadable. Pink background and black text should be fine.
Insanity Prelude: Another vote for black-on-pink.
C Trombley: Purple on pink.
Mr Guy: Purple-on-pink if possible, black-on-pink otherwise.
Meiriona: Dark purple on pink if possible, black on pink is fine, maybe change the font type to something girly? hold on, lemme look...papyrus is a kind of cutesy font, maybe not enough, bradley hand? one where the I's are doted with hearts mayhap? (are there fonts like that? if so I WANT them NAO!)
Lord TNK: I'm hoping Janitor knows the most eye-pleasing scheme for this.
Lord TNK: Actually, he wants us to make our own color schemes. So I'm guessing the most eye pleasing wins.
Sean Tucker: Jesus Christ, this is even uglier than Darth Wiki. Someone change it to something that's bright without making me want to puke.
Asmodemus: The fact that the crowning moments of awesome page that belongs to Warhammer 40000, the biggest darkest nastiest Crapsack World in existence is now part of the sugar wiki area and thus has pink borders is hilarious to me.
Mr Guy: I 'Love This Scheme.
SonicPanther: This scheme gives me the warm fuzzies, but at the same time, it feels... Disturbing. Perfect for the Sugar Wiki.
Meiriona: HOLY HELL. oh gods, this is ugly and horrible and PERFECT for Sugar Wiki. Excuse me while I pull an Oedipus and stab out my eyes.
Nornagest: My God, what the fuck did you people do to the color scheme? I don't deny that it's appropriate, but if the content-free gushiness wasn't enough to stop me from reading anything in this namespace, this will certainly do the trick.
ZekeSulastin: In the name of all things precious to this universe can we PLEASE change the color scheme of the sugarwiki?!
Lord TNK: Make a better one, and hope the admins like it enough to change it.
Smokie: The colors are awesome.
Premier 666: Who thought Pink was a good idea again? It's like the joker jusst stabbed my eyes out with a stick!!! A Burning Stick!!! I'm even using three exclamation points to show how much it hurts!!!
fleb: Changed the intro so that we can reach over-the-top Stealth Parody levels of insanity quicker.
Lord TNK: It's not meant to be a stealth parody. This actually is supposed to be Exactly What It Says on the Tin.
Charred Knight: People like to complain, and people like to praised. Darth Wiki is for complaining, and Sugar Wiki is for praising, I don't think people understand that.
fleb: Really? Practically every page on Darth Wiki reads like a Stealth Parody (Wiki Tech Wish List being the most obvious); Complain About Shows You Dont Like is the only one with some unironic complaining mixed in with the irony. I figured since Darth Wiki is parodying irrational Fan Dumb nerd-rage with one hand while inviting it in with the other, Sugar Wiki should do the reverse and showcase the Willfully Blind's mindless fawning, as well as the sincere bits of praising like the Crowning Moments.
Cliché: You know what? I really, really like this page allowing people to sincerely recommend media without the Fan Dumb or Hatedom clamping on them. It's a great service to the sanity of tropers everywhere on this site. We don't need part of it being a Stealth Parody, especially coming off the sometimes So Bad Its Horrible Darth Wiki.
Lord TNK: Stealth parody is when people confuse it for real. Some of the descriptions make it clear those pages are jokes. The Darth Wiki Tech List even has a disclaimer to put real requests on the main Wish List page.
fleb: Okay, regular-parody then. "Tongue-in-cheek." Whatever. Point was, there's nothing wrong with the idea of, once in a while, just ramping up the sweetness here so far past 11 it's not all taking itself completely seriously. There's room enough for plenty of real fan-love and a little of the sarcastic kind so long as it's hard to tell the difference.
Lord TNK: Stop deleting the part about not being a Stepford Smiler. That's to be left in there to avoid any accusations of this being like that. I'm serious.
Inkblot: Maybe Darth Wiki doesn't take itself seriously because us tropers are fundamentally nice people?
fleb: Is... Is that a real imminent danger? It's just such a complete non sequitur there. No one's going to get "worried" about the Pink Radiation suddenly altering their personality.
Vifetoile: I propose that we add 'Fanfic Recommendations' to the Sugar Wiki. This sub-wiki is, after all, all about that Ten Percent Worth Dying For.
T-T-T: Oh come one. I understand why we're segregating DW from the main wiki. Negative is bad for the wiki spirit overall. But this? Come on. I say its okay if we move most of the articles here back to main namespace, and change the definition to Tastes Like Diabetes pages (ie the AAT... whatever parody)
Charred Knight: Why the hell would we have a parody section? This is the exact opposite of Darth Wiki so we put the pages that deal with praise here, since Darth Wiki deals with complaints. I don't know how hard that is to understand why the hell would the contrast for the Darth Wiki be a parody, Darth Wiki isn't one so I don't see why the hell Sugar Wiki would be one. Don't confuse tounge in Cheek for a parody.
Grumman: I agree with the unnamed guy: this segregation of everything is quickly reaching shark-jumping levels.
Inkblot: Darth Wiki is a parody. Tame Maverick Exposition, That Troper, I Am Making This Up...
Cliché: It's a sad time in humanity when positivity and upbeatness is considered a farce.
Smokie: Oh get the fuck cotton-candy off already and let us have our fun, you goddamn Obstructive Bureaucrat's.
movie007: Isn't Tastes Like Diabetes sort of like the polar opposite of Wangst, where it's fluffiness that's done badly?
Sabre Justice: ARGH! MY BRAIN! DEAR MOTHER OF GOD MY BRAIN!
Griffinmills: Personally, I don't mind if "you" get to have Sugar Wiki and Darth Wiki and all this crap, as long as there is a way to read it all with the default skin instead of the eyeball destroying pink and black styles. Any advice for folks like me out there?
Mullon: Is there a place to nominate tropes for Sugar Wiki, or are you just supposed to put them in? I ask because I thought of putting Most Wonderful Sound here (and Most Annoying Sound in Darth Wiki).
