Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
I sent The Tropper a notifier about using edit reasons.
It looks as if they are on the Just For Fun page for Sonic the Hedgehog. Can you look there and see if you recognize any "The One..." listings as yours?
There was a long discussion
about using The One With wording on pages. They seem to be rather divisive here on TVT.
It was previously discussed and the majority called for removing them and they were. So I don't know why someone brought them back without explaining why.
...not really; the very last post in that thread said "we need to decide what to do with the gags on pages". So while it's true some posters on that thread didn't like them, it's far from a consensus, let alone policy.
Yeah, between the ATT thread and the forum thread, there were quite a few people who either didn't mind them or wanted to keep them. It seemed to be split about halfway, and like Synch said, far from a majority.
O.K., I need consensus before readding them then.
Could you explain why you re-added them back when someone else deleted them previously?
Tropper, you're missing that there was also no consensus to delete them.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure Pureness
The previous Troper who deleted them certainly had consensus just for the The One With before it was changed for Just for Fun.
Except... not really? The post above the one linked the edit reason even asks people to move wicks to the JFF namespace. So they were removed well into the time when the trope was moved, and there was never any consensus on whether or not we had to cut them or just re-namespace them. Even back then I can see that there was confusion on whether to cut everything or move things over, and I was part of the thread discussion so I do have memory of what happened. And if you check out the thread, you'd see Karxida ask at the bottom if they were actually supposed to be cutting the Sonic ones after already doing it.
I thought that the "Just for Fun" pages weren't meant to be used as sub-pages for works, and that "JustForFun.The One With" was just a way for us to label episodes/series and boil them down to "that one thing" that made them especially memorable.
Then again, I worry that it might duplicate the purpose of the Laconic Wiki, which also does such a thing.
I hope you get tiny bits of eggshell in all your omelettes for the rest of your life!
I'm still not a fan of them and would rather them stay removed.
Here's another thread that's still open for discussing this trope.
On Sonic pages, someone removed all the The One With… I added. They didn't discuss this with me...
