Is there a thread where we can discuss differentiating the Image Source and Quote Source if they're both of the exact same moment (for instance, Greens Precede Sweets)?
The Page Quote thread to change the quote, Image Pickin' for the image.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessHave we a thread for moving inaccessible works to Darth? After splitting Film.This Means War 2012 from This Means War! due to custom title collision, I realized that the link on Fanfic.This Means War is dead.

Is there a thread for work pages with very few or no tropes, or would those just go on the Works Needing Tropes pages?
"Leftover items still have value!"- It seems to be on a case-by-case basis according to recent ATT discussions?
So ask on ATT?
- My thread: "Where the point where we should just cut Works Needing Tropes?"

It creates bad precedent. Many new editors understandably have "monkey see, monkey do" attitudes, so it's very hard to explain our rules about creating new pages (and zero-context examples).

Disambig Needed: Help with those issues! tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13324299140A37493800&page=24#comment-576I get the impression that a cleanup thread is needed for our mainspace indices. In particular, there is no thread dedicated to indices that are underpopulated or poorly organized.
I'm back!So I have a question:
I want to start a new page on Grammar Misuse in TV Tropes. But, I do not want to create a duplicate, or a thread that is not necessary.
Is there a place to put your ideas for threads in the projects station, to see if there is a need for it? Sorry for clogging up a semi-old thread, but I really want to know.
Ok bitch it's Weezer and it's WeezyI think this thread should be good for asking about those. And yes, we do have the Calling all Grammar police thread.
Currently mostly inactive. An incremental game I tested: https://galaxy.click/play/176 (Gods of Incremental)Where would the thread for Ban-Evader Reversion fit into all of this?
Rawr.Do we have a real life troping clean-up?
"Listen up, Marina, because this is SUPER important. Whatever you do, don't eat th“ “DON'T EAT WHAT?! Your text box ran out of space!”Is there a fan fic clean-up thread?
"Listen up, Marina, because this is SUPER important. Whatever you do, don't eat th“ “DON'T EAT WHAT?! Your text box ran out of space!”Where should I go to bring up a specific work that needs some cleanup? It should be noted that I’m not actually familiar with the work in question; it’s just that there seems to be many issues with the work’s main page and various subpages.
back lolIs there a cleanup thread for Adult Fear on these forums? I think I remember seeing one, but I can't find it. If there isn't one, would it be a good idea to make one?
TRS Wick CleaningWhat are the problems with the trope?
TRS Queue | Works That Require Cleanup of Complaining | Troper WallThere's many problems, but they need TRS, not cleanup. I'm doing a wick check here and there's a Trope Talk thread here.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessAh thanks, I was just confused.
TRS Queue | Works That Require Cleanup of Complaining | Troper WallIs there a thread to discuss/suggest hard splitting pages (in particular, work pages)? (Or would each work just go in Short-term Projects?)

"Leftover items still have value!"I could've sworn we had a Foil cleanup, but I can't find it. Any help?
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure Purenesshttps://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15673711440A12102700&page=2
It was updated today, in this section. I can't see it in the directory...
Nor in my Watched Threads.
Had to Google...
Bug?
Nope. Me reading years wrong. It was updated last year, almost to the day.

Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessIs there a general thread for tropes that are too much like other tropes to the point that they're redundant?
Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15186611420A39555800&page=46#1143
Duplicate tropes cleanup?

- True. ... Depends on how much we wanna preserve the History. ... Personally, I like History as a concept. But, the page is pretty consistent, so not really necessary?
