Not Thriving: Hive City

I'd say yes, there should really be nothing wrong with that (this should have probably been cut/unlaunched, but I guess not).

Yeah, that's what I did with Small Start, Big Finish.

What happens if you hit the launch button? Does it say a trope with that name already exists?

When I first launched Science Is Good I ran into an issue because the actual page was at that point cut and locked for some reason. It went right to that cut empty page but the draft itself was gone.

Of course that was a couple years ago so the code might've changed. Imperial might be able to provide a better answer :-)

I haven't tried it. Would you like me to?

If you do, you might want to back up the info in a sandbox so it doesn't get banished to the void (worse case scenario)

Do it! For science!

If you wanna do it, maybe post results elsewhere, like here. We can free up another slot already since this has effectively been fixed, after all (except for the wicks, will add them shortly).

But that's not a community issue, so it wouldn't really belong there; the normal "Fixing TLP" thread would be a better spot.

IDK, it's been used for technical stuff on page 11, I'd say it would be fair to use it in this case.

Granted, it's technical stuff involving community issues like hat misuse and rogue launches. It's really not a big deal either way I guess, but that thread was designed specifically to discuss things the TLP community does rather than the TLP itself.

I'll agree... Well, the thread is here. Anyway, I managed to raise this to 24 wicks, I think we're good now.

Should the Kowloon Walled City example in the Real Life section be expanded to include the fact that it was the most densely populated neighbourhood in all of human history?

It peaked with a population density of 1.93 million people per square kilometre or 5 million people per square mile.

That's not the only criteria of the trope, though.

Anything left to do here really? the wick total's at 25 now.

31 now.

I think this issue is just about resolved. The only thing I'm still iffy about is the page quote — it seems like a better fit for Layered Metropolis and/or Urban Segregation than this. I think the quote for The Caves of Steel is a better fit.

Agreed, bonus points for actually using the word 'hive'.

I like it. Here it is for anyone not wishing to search examples

I like it too. Swapped in. I think we done here for realz.

Awesome. Time to close.
