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.

[up][up] I own a copy of that game, but I never got anywhere in it, so I can't help much.

Edit: I remembered a few more tropes. I want to add something about Floating Island or Cool Airship, but I don't know if these island airships count.

I've fleshed it out as best I can for having never seen the film. Four solid tropes should work.

Bloodsuckers Anonymous looks like an unpublished work page in the wrong namespace.

I Just Want My Pants Back has a really short work page description, and most of the examples on the page are Zero Context Examples.

The Red Night Trilogy doesn't have any examples, Quaranteen is almost nothing but ZCEs, and XVI has only about two good examples.

Series.The Cape 1996.

Description is anemic, the tropes are almost all ZCE and poorly formatted, and the guy doesn't really know TV Tropes syntax.

Many The Blog Of A Space Probe and Hive both have only about 1 or 2 complete trope entries.

Squiggle Vision is a trope with only zero context entries.

To be more precise, Milo And Kate has only two trope examples and a Trivia item.

Limbo System has about 2 examples with sufficient context. The Bellflower Bunnies is very badly written, with most of the examples being either audience reactions or trivia.
