White Void Room is currently being used to cover three concepts-

  1. a blank dimension of infinite whiteness,

  2. a room with white walls, floor and ceiling, possibly designed to look like an infinite white void.

  3. an unspecified white background, such as used in ads/album covers, or just no background drawn in

The description matches the second use. This is because we don't have a trope for true Blank White Voids or solid white backgrounds. We have Void Between the Worlds but thats actually a different concept, and doesnt cover all of the Blank White Void examples.

I am attempting to fix this by moving the examples of the first type to a new trope: Blank White Void

As for type 3, The current description includes the line "Often a sign of the Lazy Artist in Sequential Art when the background is missing." which seems to be describing type 3. I think that line should be removed and "No Background" should be a seperate trope. see YKTTW here https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/discussion.php?id=xn2okhz1834pd0pie8v7ca4j

Thank you. I moved the examples I could, but a lot of them aren't clear on which type they are (they just say something like "Alice is trapped in one of these"). so if someone is familiar with the other examples, especially in live action TV, it would help if someone could put them in the right place

i am still working on changing examples from White Void Room to Blank White Void on work pages

I see that the troper who started this thread was banned for being a sock. Setting a clock.

Apparently, the split was not done properly as e.g. the white room in The Matrix would be an example of the new trope Blank White Void. I believe somebody will have to check those 350 links and the example list and sort them out.

Clock's up; locking for lack of activity/consensus. No action is to be taken on the basis of this thread.
