Cleanup: Hottip Markup

Go To

PROJECT COMPLETE

Due to (somewhat) recent changes to the source code and text parser, the hottip no longer works as it used to. Specifically, the text parser does not distinguish between the end of a pothole and the end of a hottip.

Therefore, I am creating this thread to clean up hottip markup in the wiki, and do one of the following:

  1. Remove the hottip and weave the explanation into the description.
  2. Replace the hottip with either the note or labelnote markup, as appropriate.

Syntax for a note markup is (for those who are unaware):

[[note]]-text to be revealed-[[/note]], which yields: note 

Syntax for a labelnote is: [[labelnote:-text to be displayed-]]-text to be revealed-[[/labelnote]], which yields:

-text to be displayed-

Alright, will do that.

EDIT:

Also, there are a bunch of Troper pages listed on the T-Z page.

I'll ask the people still around to edit their pages.

OK; I've been sending out messages to tropers. I am listing these who I don't expect to reply to a PM due to sufficient recent inactivity:

I've messaged the rest.

Sorry for not weighing in yet; my schedule is too much in flux to plan time for a link cleanup.

Same. I should have some time this weekend, but I have exams to administer and grade the next couple of days.

[up][up], [up] No worries, RL >>> wiki stuff. The cleanup's moving at a steady pace...dunno if it'll be done by the end of the month but there should be a good chunk of it done.

I took out the L hottips. I've also removed the troper pages where the hottips were removed as part of my PM'ing effort.

Ok, opinions. I started work on Injustice: Gods Among Us.

holy shit

There is a monstrous list for Relationship Voice Actor. With dozens of hottips scattered through out a huge list of "the following Injustice voice actors also worked together in this work''. There has got to be a better way to arrange this page, it was far less obtrusive when it was just an asterisk, but that is a ton of notes.

And I think I hosed up the formatting at some point. The latter mentions are opening the notes for the former, clicking the 2nd mention of Batman's VA opens the first note mentioning him.

Edit:

Do we want these pairings to by organized by game? Perhaps by voice actor? I doubt we want to pothole the voice actor to the work because that'll make a wall of blue links. I'm not even fully sure if this trope is being used properly here.

[up] The first thing you're referring to is a side effect of the note system; if there's multiple notes that say the same thing, only the first will open. As for the trope itself, just from a cursory read of the description, I don't think it's being used right.

If that's how the markup works, that's a relief that it's proper wiki function/known bug instead of me botching the markup.

As I understand the trope, it's about some voice actors working together frequently and playing similar roles, like Harley Quinn and Raven's VAs working together. Some of the examples look like normal Hey Its That Guy entries.

I'm wondering how we can trim some of the fat. It's a large, popular franchise, it makes sense if Tara Strong plays Harley Quinn across the shows/video games/etc. I'm not sure if singling every work where she plays Harley is how we'd want this.

It's safe to assume there's a stable of voice actors who take recurring DC Universe roles, right?

[up] I understood the trope to be "certain voice actors tend to get pigeonholed into roles where their characters have some sort of relationship, whether working, romantic, or something else." For example, it'd be like if Ranma and Akane's VAs were later cast for Shinji and Asuka and then for Keitaro and Naru. Is that how the list is broken up?

Part of what I'm trying to figure out. It's a sea of fictional names with hottips for other real names.

So, for example, the first entry.

** For the Marvel vs. Capcom 3 fandom, Solomon Grundy and Bane(Fred Tatasciore) are the Hulk; Harley Quinn and Raven(Tara Strong) are X-23; Hawkgirl and Killer Frost(Jennifer Hale)a re Phoenix; General Zod(Nolan North) is Deadpool; and in Ultimate, Nightwing and Sinestro(Troy Baker) are Nova
.

The actors in parentheses are actually the hottips I converted to notes. They're parentheses here because I'm assuming the notes wouldn't work in a quote block.

So, we're talking about actors in Injustice playing similar(?) roles in Marvel Vs Capcom 3. Fred Tatasciore plays Bane and Solomon Grundy in Injustice and Hulk in Marvel Vs Capcom 3. And I'm not seeing Relationship Voice Actor in this, if it was an proper example then Tatasciore and another actor would be playing similar characters in both Injustice and MVC3.

EDIT: Unless the relationship here is all of these actors, together, are playing similar characters in both games. Bane/Grundy and Hulk seems to fit. Zod and Deadpool don't. I'm unfamiliar with the MVC3 side for the others.

Much of the page is like this. I think it's Hey Its That Guy territory because I'm not seeing much of "two actors get pidgeonholed into similar roles together. Not sure if the page is badly written, or I'm not understanding what's going on, or if I've blundered into a TRS issue.

Did all T except for the troper pages. Also, Trivia.The Tournament Of Rings looks like it should be somewhere else.

Took out the WMG pages. Sometimes, I have to use spoiler tags instead of hottips. Also, if someone could fix WMG.Tokurei Sochi Dantai Stella Jogakuin Koutouka C 3 Bu, because as-is the text makes no sense.
