Discuss TV Tropes itself, such as observations you've made about the site/forum/wiki.
NOTE: Keep it civil; try not to get into any Flame Bait-y territory, per the forum rules (in particular, drama importation and popcorn posting are not allowed, and this thread is for discussion about the site and not the users). In addition, while discussing the Edit Banned thread is not prohibited on its own, discussing and/or alluding to specific cases is not permitted.
One thing I've noticed is that for all how the page for They Might Be Giants claims them to be the unofficial official band of this wiki, there's relatively few people on this site who seem to ever reference them.

Aw damn it, the jig is up guys, they know our secret.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure Purenessdoes this count as sockpuppeting or meatpuppeting?
Damn, I guess you're right.
(In all seriousness, this was very funny.)

TRS Queue | Works That Require Cleanup of Complaining | Troper WallActually on topic, I really hate when character pages just use screenshots from the show/game/movie as images. Especially when there's official art/renders.
"Hope for our world, tragedy for another."Personally, that doesn't bother me unless the screenshots are bad or something.
Okay, yeah, back on topic
I don't mind that, but I do hate when they don't have images at all if I'm trying to get an idea of who the characters are. I get it for books and stuff but not for visual mediums.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessBut why would you use screenshots when there's official renders. Heck, sometimes the characters have posters dedicated to them, why not use those? At least get a full body screenshot if you can.
"Hope for our world, tragedy for another."No, it just means science has gone too far.
Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.
That, I cannot answer. Maybe if the images are locked in Fandom-wiki purgatory, where they're small and hard to get to?
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessMaybe the people who use screenshots for character images don't know about the official renders/posters? That, or the screenshots were selected before the renders came out.

"Hope for our world, tragedy for another."Fandom/Wikia pages work fine anywhere if you download them on mobile and IDK why.
Victor of HGS S320 | "There's rosemary, that's for remembrance. Pray you, love, remember."I'm on mobile most of the time and it doesn't work for me.
"Hope for our world, tragedy for another."Whenever I save images from Wikia/Fandom, they're usually WEBP, which isn't compatible with this site. Thankfully, there are plenty of image conversion sites to turn them into PNG or JPEG images.
THE GOLDEN AGE WILL RETURN AGAIN!Huh personally they always worked fine for me, at least on TVT where I use the upload image function.

Victor of HGS S320 | "There's rosemary, that's for remembrance. Pray you, love, remember."internet-wide webp adoption has been so slipshod and haphazard and i still don't understand what benefits they offer over png files
To convert WEBP images to PNG, I usually copy the link to Discord and then save them to my computer as PNG.
A great Mascot Mook.Oh, yeah, the WEBP thing is definitely a problem for getting images. The good ones are always WEBP.

I'd like to take credit for this chaos.
No one will imitate my avatar.
Lol this whole Avatar Fusion concept feels like something a game could be made out of.
