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.

On another note, would everyone consider it okay for me to make a quick post in the OTC AI art thread for any peeps there that may be interested in a "share your works" thread?
Welcome to Ideal's World
About threads I want to create, I've lately been wanting to make a thread for award predictions and discussions, but I don't know where to put it.
I'd like to apologize for all this.
We have a 94th Academy Awards thread over in Live Action Film, so... whichever media subforum the awards are for, maybe.
Here's an interested contradiction that sprung to mind, when thinking of making it media based: what about the animation awards? Is it okay to talk about the Best Animated Feature award in the Live-Action Film forum? Probably, but it feels weird.
I'd like to apologize for all this.

I suggest not talking about it because it's bullshit and an insult to the animation industry.
On topic: A lot of Darth Wiki pages Don't really need to be in Darth Wiki.

As I said in your ATT query regarding Non-Existent Fiction Recommendations, I didn't even think to suggest checking the Darth Wiki index because it didn't strike me as the sort of thing that would go on that part of the site, especially because, as Tabs said, it's not negative like most of what's there.
To be honest, after seeing that that page is in Darth, I'm starting to wonder if Useless Notes is another thing that shouldn't be in Darth, since jokes about false information don't strike me as that different from jokes about fake works.

"Welcome to the Darker and Edgier side of TV Tropes. The Darth Wiki section is Just for Fun things that are the inverse of the wiki's mission. Misinformation and entertaining lies are our specialty."
This feels like the opposite vibes of Useful Notes.

Well, I suppose that's why Non-Existent Fiction Recommendations is there, and more obviously why Unpublished Works go there.

Unpublished Works makes sense there to me. Non-Existant Fiction recommendations does not because JFF already has a crud ton of pages for fake shows.

I feel that brings me to an observation of mine from before I started posting in this thread (and probably before I was a mod): Nobody can agree on what does or doesn't go in Just for Fun, to the point that attempts to hash it out end up stalling. Since Sugar Wiki and Darth Wiki are indexed on Just for Fun, either what goes in those two sections isn't fully agreed upon, or the fact that they're listed as sub-indexes of Just for Fun ties into nobody being able to agree on Just for Fun's scope/purpose.
Edit: I don't know why I didn't think to mention these disagreements in the Slander thread, but better late than never, I suppose.

I agree that quite a few pages of Darth Wiki can be moved to Just for Fun.
Stories don't tell us monsters exist; we knew that already. They show us that monsters can be trademarked and milked for years.

Every time someone mentions that Victoria book I think they’re talking about a movie about Queen Victoria. I don’t know why. I’m not sure if there even is a Queen Victoria movie called Victoria.
Har har har
There's actually a TV series about Queen Victoria just called Victoria so close enough. Hence why YMMV.Victoria, Trivia.Victoria, Quotes.Victoria, etc. are all split into two folders.

If there's something that can be moved between JFF, SW and DW, or the organization could be better (like soft-splitting joke tropes and work pages that didn't fit any media) it's better to make a thread about that.

This naming discussion about the Victorias sounds like a job for this thread.

Referring to Victoria, I usually think of the TV show too. Airing during my Doctor Who hyperfixation (had Jenna Coleman on it, you see) helped.
there's also Victorious
