So over 10 years ago or so, we used to have a newsletter called Trope Report, which covers all of the changes that happened on the wiki weekly. I have been nostalgic for it recently so I thought of it and it seemed to be a fun way to inform tropers about the changes going on around the wiki.
The sandbox for the project can be found at Sandbox.Trope Report Dummy Edition and the sandbox for ideas/plans can be found on Sandbox.Trope Report Ideas. After a new issue is published, revert the Dummy Edition back to a template using the text on Sandbox.Trope Report Template.

So, do you guys know if the "The Trope" cleanup thread was already listed in the previous Trope Reports? If not, I'll post it in the Dummy Edition.

Yeah, it was in the January issue. I was thinking about putting Sportspeople/Sports Events in the spotlight FWIW.
Was thinking of making an Obscure Tropes entry for Multiple Choice Form Letter:
- Spring cleaning is just around the horizon, and what better way to procrastinate by, instead of actually doing the cleaning itself, answer a Multiple Choice Form Letter about the cleaning? As the trope is about using fill-in-the-blanks or bubble sheets to cut down on any real personalization, it'll also work for those who are merely too busy with cleaning to stop for a break. However, it's only amassed 25 items since the de-cluttering started. Possessing some of those items for yourself is encouraged, after all, so why not add to the de-cluttering process?
Also wanted to add (to changelog, obviously):
- Robot Clown has been disambiguated, as it was determined that "robot + clown" was not a meaningful grouping of traits, and was trying to fulfill elements of the already-existing Funny Robot. TRS thread here

I'm also thinking about posting the Navbox and Float Box cleanup thread, which is here.

Sounds good to me. Go for it!
Well, Our Kobolds Are Different's thread closed yesterday, so it was fair game. Took a bit of deliberation, but I chose it because it's an innovative approach to collages (and because there's been like six or seven threads for the various "Our X Are Different" tropes these past couple months).
Is the entry good?
I'd like to apologize for all this.

I think we're set for the bio and grammar stuff.
And next is April, so get some gags ready!

Let's start off the gag planning with...
This edition of █████ Report has been [REDACTED] by SCP Foundation, an organization that studies and contains the dangers the paranormal. We secure. We contain. We protect.
I was unsure how to word the idea for a Raid: Shadow Legends writeup.

Let me try. I prefer the idea of doing Raid anyway since it is the sponsor game. Here's a really sarcastic one:
"This edition of Trope Report is sponsored by Raid: Shadow Legends, a brand new game none of us have ever heard of. You fight battles or something? We don't know, none of us have played it. But try it anyway with the code "Trope Tan" to get an extra loot box."

Works better!
I'll store the SCP write-up in the Ideas sandbox so we can use it for Halloween.

Since April is Autism Awareness Month, I think of writing up an entry for The Sun Will Come Up And The Seasons Will Change. But where will I put it?

Hiya! Just stopping by to say that I love this!
I've been adding stuff to the Trope Report Ideas page for some time.
Rookie Trope Repairer
Bear in mind that, from what I've seen, a lot of the autistic community prefer it to be called "Autism Acceptance Month", deeming terms like "awareness" to be stigmatising.
Oh, I see. Thanks for letting me know.
Double post, but can we get the page a grammar check now.

~Twiddler, how is the grammar check going?
