Trope Report Revival

Go To

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.

I mean, we could if we had to? I'd rather not add too much more though since the grammar needs to be looked at at some point. Last minute additions will slow us down even more.

Minor tweak on my entry since the starting day of Ramadhan was recently announced.

Edit: Actually let me tweak it again cuz Saudi says 11th lol. (Yes, it isn't always the same for every country)

Finished going over the current contents of the draft. Looks like we're just missing the description.

What is the outline for the features for the March issue? I can help make an introduction.

Well there are the tropes being disambiguated as well as the new Character specific page requirements.

If nobody takes it, I'll do it on Friday; when I'm done with finals. But I'd rather somebody do it now because we're way past schedule.

Easily Forgiven is in TRS and has been renamed (it's now Acknowledged Absolution), but use of the old name isn't stopping. Would it be worth mentioning the project in Trope Report?

Jay wrote a description earlier (thanks!) and I looked over it earlier and made a few tweaks. I think it's good to go, so: published and bulletined!

^^^ The use of the old name didn't stop because the page hasn't been moved yet as no one has rewritten the description. That has to happen before any cleanup occurs.

Reset button pressed + RSL sponsor added. Time to figure out the theme for this April issue. Last year was Troop Report; anyone got ideas?

In the meantime, I'll try to do a writeup for Outside Joke.

For tropes, I'm thinking about Frames of Reference, since there isn't much to it.

  • April Fools revolves around a good joke. A lot of the time, many are from those in the know. Jokes about how TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Life, for example. Then we have the Outside Joke, a joke made by those that simply are not well versed in the subject matter. Some more stand-up comics are appreciated, as only 32 jokes have been made. Just be sure not to tell us about what the real deal is with airline food; let us have our fun.

Yay, joke time.

Is it okay if I plug Ice Heart? It's just such a goofy glitch and I think it could be pretty funny. tongue

Also wanna find a super popular trope to plug wink

If we need a theme, maybe we can just write as if Von Trope became a YouTuber or something. Bombastic writing and random suggestions to like and subscribe. IDK, just a thought, because of the Raid sponsorship. I'd gladly do the intro if we go with this one tongue

Ooooh, nice idea! [tup]

Also, I'll need to investigate what's causing an issue with the code for the sponsor line... Edit: Issue resolved; admins have been informed.

Bonus points if the report header image is done in the style of a particularly obnoxious clickbait You Tube thumbnail.

Hahaha, both of them are good.

I'll make my normal edits later tonight once I finally have dinner (delivery apps are useless and I'm dying) and I can tackle the description once things are sorted. I won't let us sit like we did this month tongue
