Things you did wrong as tropers.

This page is to list things you messed up on in troping. Not your average everyday sins, so I believe this is best either here or Wiki Talk, not Yack Fest. Sorry if I got that wrong.

I accidentally made a blank edit for Middle Child Hates Tomato Saus and Loves Disco.

I'm not LGBT. I just think Rain's really cool. Apologies if my humor gets too painful.

Heh...after discussion, Yack Fest was deemed the best place for this, so it's been moved.

Responding to and not repairing an entry on the Martha Speaks page.

Getting Known.

Seriously, though? Music.Nickelback.

INT is knowing a tomato is a fruit. WIS is knowing it doesn't belong in a fruit salad. CHA is convincing people that it does.

One time, I tried to edit a page using the 3DS's text input thing prior to getting a functional computer. I ended up blanking 9/10s of the page because the stupid thing had a tiny-ass character limit and wiped out whatever couldn't fit.

I made an Unpublished Works page for a story of mine back in 2010, just a few months prior to the first Google incident and invoked Conversation In The Main Page about a stupid Running Gag I had at the time. Thankfully, nobody noticed that since I was the only one who ever edited the page.

I forgot that blanking a page, even one for your own Unpublished Work, is still bannable and got edit-banned for a few days. The shamefully inaccurate page remained locked and I had to re-appeal it on the cutlist. Then it was finally cut.

"Jack, you have debauched my sloth."

Place your bets, how long until someone says "Put Brilliant, but Lazy in my troper page" in this thread.

For some reason, half my links always end up not working, so if I do link something, people who click may go out in the middle of nowhere. I also double-post on forums more than i should.

As far as editing goes, it's mostly just small stuff, like making red links I never went to fix afterward and formatting issues. The only bad edit content wise was one that got me a natter warning from Komodin.

I don't edit much, and I'm super careful when I do.

I don’t even know anymore.

Stuck an example on You're Just Jealous related to The Poisonwood Bible that had no business being here. This was back before I realized we had as many pages as we do, so I was pushing the example as a subversion when really it was closer to a variation on So Beautiful, It's a Curse.

Oh, and expressing my anger at people on the fora.

Put Brilliant, but Lazy in my troper page.

10 posts in. Darn, I should have put in a wager.

Never did that, but many of my old edits to the Making Fiends page *

make me cringe, and as far as I know, they're still there. I was really trying too hard with a lot of that stuff. :|

and then they fricked in the booty

Launched a page as Useful Notes Meiji Restoration via launch titles gone horibly wrong rather that using namespace.

David Bowie 1947-2016

Hehehehe, ever since I lampshaded it, everyone is putting down the Brilliant, but Lazy entries in their pages.

Yes that has to be it. Nothing else can explain this, nope.

Managing to use Awesome by Analysis wrong. Actually, most of my "contributions" to the site, during my first days in the site.

If you wanna PM me, send it to my mrsunshinesprinkles account; this one is blorked.

I nattered on an example I added in the first place.

Making typo after typo in one post. It wasn't THAT bad but I just go insane whenever I see myself make a typo >.<

I'm pretty sure I'm still low-key in my scene phase.

Adding an And The Fandom Rejoiced entry to the YMMV.Daft Punk page. Apparently it became a Sugar Wiki exclusive Audience Reaction without me knowing. *sigh*

I added an example of what I thought was fridge brilliance to a show.

I say this because I'd never actually watched the show, I was just basing it off of plot summaries. And it was completely wrong.

Being snarky in one of my edits.

Nattered on and on in certain pages, and contributed to the fresh hell that was Troper Tales. And probably contributed way too much to Fetish Fuel.

Emperor Wu liked cake, but not exploding cake!

Getting involved in wiki politics

Oh yeah, troper tales. Thank god that was before you had to sign in to edit. ... *shudders*

I think I once used "This Troper" waaaaaaaaay back when. Like back when we still had IJBM. Oh, and I still never remember to use the preview button. Instead, I just save, then edit again when I see an error.

For the record, I never added Brilliant, but Lazy to my troper page. That was a thing from a forum game.

Mhm, I also thought "This Troper" was acceptable when I was first around, back when.

A different shape every step I take A different mind every step of the line

Never used "this troper."

I spoke for the people, man.
