Do we have a cleanup for temperament tropes?

Is there somewhere in Writer's Block to promote writing contests? Is that even allowed?

After the closure at this TRS thread for Our Mermaids Are Different due to a lack of actions requiring the Trope Repair Shop, it was suggested that a cleanup thread be started on Our Monsters Are Different subtropes (and presumably, everything else on Our Tropes Are Different). But I don't see an existing active thread on it...

I know it was mentioned on the previous page, but since I'm looking for it too and it's been a few months: Is there a thread for Unpublished Works cleanups? I've noticed a lot of entries that either have no examples or are nothing but ZCEs.

I'm aware that it's less of an issue with Darth Wiki stuff, but perhaps it's still a project worth looking into?

I think protocol is to generally leave those alone. They're not held to the normal work page standards, aside from misuse removal for TRS.

Updated the pinned post to reflect some recent thread launches and changes. I haven't checked back through the existing ones, just added the new ones.

Added Cut List, Navbox/Floatbox, Wikiword and a few of the most active Character page and Trope-specific cleanup threads.

[up][up] Alright, thank you! I thought that might be the case, but I just wanted to check to make sure, and I couldn't find an exact policy anywhere. If there is one, however, there's a good chance I just missed it, in which case I apologise!

I'm not sure if what I'm looking for is in this particular forum area, but is there a thread for bringing up TLP drafts you're working on to ask others for assistance? I could've sworn there was one.

I found it, I just forgot the name: TLP workstation thread.

Is there a place for discussing Star-Derailing Role / Career Resurrections in the long-term forums? I feel like there’s some examples that don’t fit or are hastily added.

Is there a thread for webcomics that have changed their website or URL format? Latchkey Kingdom moved to a new site about a year ago and doesn't have a redirect to the new pages.

Is there a place to discuss the handling of page titles for works without an official translation (preferably, one for manga and adjacent media types)? I'm editing I Got My Wish and Reincarnated as the Villainess (Last Boss)! but I'm not sure whether ateji (see Alternate Character Reading and this Wikipedia article for information) should be a part of the page name.

Where do we talk about how to handle works deleted off the internet?

This thread is very underutilized now. Why is that?

Most people who know of this know where to find things?

Now... Where is that thread with useful code snippets? I could just post my code fresh, but still...

Seems that might not have been a thread?

I may have asked this before, but do we have Unpublished Works cleanup? Should these be maintained at all? Unpublished Works forbids subpages, but I had to cut from a few today and the list indicates a few more unindexed subpages.

There's a couple of related questions here with no answers, so I think the answer is we don't have a thread for this, but is there a thread for Unpublished and Non-Existent works? I've seen a few questions of people asking about verifying specific works' existence in ATT and other parts of the forums lately, and if we don't have a thread for that maybe we should make one?

I also have a few I've noted down with the intention of doing a search for them that I could post in such a thread if one was made.
