TLP Crash Rescue - Fixing prematurely launched TLPs and pages

Go To

Prematurely launched pages and pages that weren't fully fleshed out at the point of launching, are a big problem. Since these usually share several problems at once, this thread is aimed at re-running them through the TLP for fixing - the usual fix - or cutting them if they are too bad.

Problems this thread deals with include bad names, not enough/bad examples, unclear description, etc.

For the interested, here's a list of recently created pages. Launches

Note: Please do not request a mod to unlaunch drafts that don't have any issues besides lacking a launch notice/24hr launch notice. While 24hr launch notices are mandatory, there are a few exceptions to the rule. If you see a draft's sponsor launch a TLP without an announcement, it's best to remind them of our TLP Guidelines first. If they continue to repeatedly launch drafts without a launch notice, you can report them on Ask The Tropers or the TLP Community Issues thread.

I've just acquired Frontier Circus on dvd and set the series page up so I can add tropes as I watch my way through it. Hopefully, I will have it more fleshed out soon.

On my routine cleanup of Main.Needs More Love, I've found this page:

to lack an index, and Needs A Better Description.

Cleaned up that article a bit. Also, ~doctorfiction, what is Characters.Halloween Man?

I added that by mistake. I will delete that aspect of the article once I get home from work tonight. Thanks.

Oh crap. Sorry! I knew I was doing something wrong.

I'll try to fix it, but my editing skills are pretty poor.

Edit: I added it to the wiki. Can't believe I didn't figure this out in the first place. Thanks.

IMO; Unknown Assailant is too stubby to work as a trope page. It looks like a halfway decent start to a YKTTW.

Ace Combat Xi Skies Of Incursion is not a recent launch, but it's really stubbly. It has a two-sentence description and a single example.

Yeah, that one can go.
