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

Was this done by that troper that was JUST SUSPENDED. I guess he didnt learn his lesson.

It doesn't seem to be specific to any given troper, no. There's a whole set of them who have been copying each others usages for a while.
Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.
I am working on removing some of the stupid, but The Nohrian Dark Knight is re-adding "This creator is the counterpart of x". He did it to Laura Bailey
Just to clarify, they can list counterparts if one actor consistently is the dub voice for a foreign actor, right? Like how Hiroya Ishimaru always plays Jackie Chan's characters in Japanese dubs.

It's been suggested on the Forum thread that there's a missing trope for that. Someone should make that. I've yet to see a single "counterpart" entry where they actually say "X always dubs Y" even when the other creator is a different language.
What about, say, Greg Baldwin who takes up pretty much every role originally played by Mako after the latter's death?

"A Spiritual Successor is a type of sequel that is not part of the same world or story as its predecessor..."
Unless you can convince me that some of these (voice) actors come from parallel universes, rather than our own, none of them are "in-spirit only" successors.
Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.
Just so we're clear in case you're addressing me, i'm not trying to claim that Spiritual Successor applies to any of these.
Rather, I'm trying to get feedback on other, more gray areas of things that show up on Creator pages.

If we're going to be talking about parallel universes, let me get pannenkoek2012
on the line real quick.
In all seriousness, I don't think that troping someone as a spiritual successor to another person based on the fact that they played a character that the other played is legal. I've seen shoehorned tropes that are less flimsy than that.
"Come on! Let's get this show on the road."
Wouldn't "this actor always dubs that actor's lines" be Trivia?

@Larkman, I don't think there's an issue. If someone literally picks up all of someone else's character, sure, write it in the description and say it. I think that's different than the bajillion entries who declare someone to be someone else's counterpart and give NO context on what that even means.
After an issue came up in Edit Banned, I did some research, and Spiritual Successor is wicked on a bunch of Creator articles, and not in reference to their works. For example, Bridget Hoffman lists her "counterparts" and states that "Erika Harlacher and Veronica Taylor are considered to be her Spiritual Successors in the non-union/anime dub side of things."
This is gibberish. A person is not a spiritual successor of another person. The trope article says nothing about this, and as far as I can tell there's no "People" subpage of it. All of it needs to be removed.
Edit: Ah, I knew I saw this earlier. Forum topic
