NATTER ALERT!

Xenogears needs some serious tending-to.

Is it acceptable to just delete long explanations? I'm leery enough of deleting others' edits that I usually try to retain them while improving the indentation, or turning long excursions into hottips.

I usually try to pare them down, since long explanations are often summations and inside jokes. I don't generally delete them entirely.

I cleaned out VideoGame.Xenogears. Most of it wasn't bad, just some wrong Example Indentation In Trope Lists and a few undetailed entries that are now in the discussion page.

Awesome, but Impractical has a lot of discussion and a few "this troper"s on its Military page. Anyone know about weapons and vehicles?

True Companions is in need of some help. Also, What's the consensus on breaking some of this up into subpages? It get's pretty unwieldy, as it is.

Should we just Hard Split it by Media Categories?

I'm thinking so. I can tackle some of the sections in terms of clean up, but I'm pretty out of it when it comes to anime manga stuff (seems to be one of the worst offenders). I used to know the shows, but not any more.

So, do we split it by folders then?

Yup. Not sure how to make the pages, but I'll happily copy/paste examples once made.

It should probably happen like this:

• TrueCompanions.Anime
• TrueCompanions.Manga
• TrueCompanions.Comic Books
• TrueCompanions.Fan Fic
• TrueCompanions.Film
• TrueCompanions.Literature
• TrueCompanions.Live Action TV
• TrueCompanions.Music
• TrueCompanions.Professional Wrestling
• TrueCompanions.Puppet Shows
• TrueCompanions.Sports
• TrueCompanions.Tabletop Games
• TrueCompanions.Video Games
• TrueCompanions.Web Comics
• TrueCompanions.Web Original
• TrueCompanions.Western Animation
• TrueCompanions.Real Life

Just move the folders into these subpages I am linking, then replace them on True Companions with an index of the subpages you've created, set the page type of True Companions to index+trope. You may also want How To Split A Page.

Will do, thank you!

So anime and manga was apparently already created.

I'll try to work on the Military page of Awesome, but Impractical, but it's probably going to be a long-term project, from the looks of it....

I mentioned it over in the military thread, maybe somebody will help.

Tactical Suicide Boss could use a solid killing of natter, and would benefit from folderising.

I've moved over Tactical Suicide Boss, zapping some stuff, fixing the Example Indentation and moving other items to Tactical Suicide Boss Discussion so that they can be cleaned. However, I have absolutely no idea about videogames work. Someone with more knowledge should go over that page.

Woolseyism, especially the anime and video games subpages need Thread Mode chopped off.

Tackled Woolseyism.Anime and Woolseyism.Literature, but I am too tired to do the others as well. I pulled one example to discussion, but most of them had only to be fixed according to Example Indentation In Trope Lists.

Facingthe Bullets One Liner has a natter filled real life section.

Cut the section. Let's hope next time people will keep themselves on a leash.

Hey, I just have a question: should I remove the real-life section for The Fair Folk? I mean, this trope is about evil (and/or morally off-the-wall) fairies in fiction, correct? As it is, it's just attracting natter about how humans and cats are examples of it in real-life.

Get rid of it.

Got it.

Edit: And... done. Added a No Real Life Examples Please link in the trope description as well, just in case.

That shouldn't have to be said. Though of course it does.

Took a good whack at the naval section of Awesome, but Impractical/Military tonight....
