Error on message in YKTTW

The message at the bottom of the YKTTW page that says what might have happened to a YKTTW if it's gone has an error.

Looking for a discussion you thought was here? One of three things could have happened.

  1. It could have been launched or "discarded". Check here. Discarded just means that someone thought it had come to a resolution not needing a launch. It can be restored. Just push the "restore" button on the Launches list.
  2. You thought you had written it up or read it here, but it was all just a dream or an elaborate daylight fantasy. Don't feel bad. It happens to us all.

There are only two things listed. But it says three. I'm fairly certain there were three at some point, which may explain this error, but whatever the case, there are only two there now.

There did used to be three, but the second was removed. That part was "It could still be here, but no one has replied to it in a few days. Bump up the "keep" days, below. Fractions of a day (.25) also works, if you want to see only really fresh items.".

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

These things make me wish we stored these interface messages in their own wiki pages as the other wiki does. Much easier to fix then.

^ Agreed x100000000. That is probably the biggest advantage that the Wikimedia platform has over TV Tropes, ALL page/interface templaces are stored in the system as normal wikipages so you get full oversight on them.

It's called the MediaWiki platform, AFAIK. Creating one for TV Tropes might be a suggestion for Tech Wishlist or Wiki Talk.

Bumping to see if this is still an issue.

It's still an issue. Transferring to Query Bugs and locking here.
