Diagonalizing The Matrix
Note: I only suggested that he go ahead and add the stinger if it doesn't involve replacing a S&W stinger. If it does, it should in all likelihood go through some sort of discussion, given what's going on here. Discussion pages should probably work.

Don't worry, dontcallmewave. You've been as subtle as an elephant. ![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]"){kind=small}

That was done way before the crowner was finished. We'll need to undo that. I already removed the notice on the Statler And Waldorf page to move them there.
Speaking of which, I'll put a notice on the page to stop moving them there and to not delete them from the page, as they are currently under revisement. Or revision. There, spellchecker actually sees that as a word.
I think that dontcallmewave and Citizen were surprisingly helpful in their efforts to get rid of the Statler And Waldorf stingers, at least we have em in one place now.

We'll need to undo that. Why?
Because that option is the absolute least-liked option on the crowner?
BTW, I'm a chick.
They don't like having them there or they don't like having them only there?
If they're in one place, it prevents one from being changed without the other.

Some Sort of Troper, the crowner decided that we were going to leave them on the pages they were on originally. Citizen and dontcallmewave went ahead and moved them before the crowner was done. That's why we're moving them back. After they be changed according to crowner, of course.
EDIT: And as to the one you deleted, we could re-write (or rather, write a new one. That one might actually deserve to be scrapped...)

"The fact that your food can be made into makeshift bombs alarms the Hell out of me, Scrye." - CharlatanOH, I see what you're saying - we could have them catalogued in one place IN ADDITION TO on the pages they belong on. Eh, I'm kind of indifferent to that idea - my experience has been things like that rapidly go out of sync with reality.
BTW, I'm a chick.
They're stingers. They only need to be used as stingers.
I understand the logistics in keeping them on the page as we revise any that need revising, but when we start moving them back to the pages they came from, there's no point to keeping them on the main Statler And Waldorf page.
Speaking of revising these, where exactly do we want to begin? Or should we just start moving these back to their pages and open new page discussions on the individual pages where anyone wants to have a discussion?
Brony? Moi? surely you jest!
If any of them end up deleted from the main pages (for example, in the trope repair shop discussion for The Joker it looks like I am not the only one who prefers an alternate stinger) then it would make sense to preserve them on the S&W page

Page Action is Page Action, though I would like the chance for revision to go through.
Actually, which applies first: a global action crowner like this one, or a page specific one?
(By the way, one person =/= majority, and you've got two against you right now)

Zzzzzzzzzz
I would say Page-Specific. Think of it like traffic laws, you can turn right on a red light after coming to a full stop — unless the intersection you're at has a sign saying you can't. Specific trumps general.

Should we point out that The Inferno is still wearing his Santa cap? Nah. Just have to put it back on in 11 months, anyway.

Call me the Necromancer.
I think we've let this one sit and stew long enough. Mind if I go ahead with the cleanup of the stingers, since that seems to be the consensus?
Expergiscēre cras, medior quam hodie. (Awaken tomorrow, better than today.)
Yeah, at this point, I feel like starting to move them back to the pages on my own and simply modify 'em as I make my own calls on the matter; we've accomplished none of that discussing between ourselves.

I'd prefer if we get all of them modified (or deleted, if there isn't a way to make it less Take That!-ish) before we move any of them back.

Brony? Moi? surely you jest!
just so you know, if anyone starts moving the stingers back, there was a crowner for The Joker and it came out that for that specific page the consensus is that there should be no stinger.

Should we discuss individual stingers on the page's discussion or in this thread?
Rhymes with "Protracted."
No longer a forum herald
Discussion page, ideally. That way we can set a precedent for future issues about the stingers (so people should know where to go).

Sounds like plan. I'll lock this off.

Crown Description:
Not quite a page action so much as an item action. This is what to do with the 80 or so Statler And Waldorf stingers scattered across the wiki.
Didn't we take these all and put them on a single page a while ago? What ever happened to that?
