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 ban/suspension 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.

Front page is back for me — at least on my laptop.
Works That Require Cleanup of Complaining | Troper WallI'm a bit disappointed that Had the Silly Index in Reverse isn't ordered in reverse as well.

Oo oo ah ahI'm seriously considering putting a commented-out reminder to crosswick examples on Day of the Diesels Rewrite because nobody else will do that even after I send them notifiers, but I'm not sure if that's allowed.

Bizarro Universe does that. I wonder if it should be on that index too.
I recently cut an example of Accidental Aesop that was clearly the intended message. I went back through the page's edit history and found that it was originally Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped and someone moved it under Accidental Aesop after that trope was cut. This isn't the first time I've come across this, where an example was just moved to a new trope after the old one was cut even if it doesn't fit. Has anyone else seen that happen?
Apparently that was a huge problem with Surprisingly Realistic Outcome, formerly Reality Ensues. I've also a few Small Taxonomy Pools examples on work pages that clearly used to be Seldom Seen Species, which I remove whenever I notice them.
Anyone else get burned by this constantly?
I thought Curtains Match the Window was cut for being chairs, but it wasn't. Huh.

No, I believe it just means new unread followed pages. (Though I do use a script for Chrome and Android notifications)
Inb4 someone tries to make a Forum Games version of Muppets Party Cruise.
Your melody still remains in this room and it ringsThere was a TRS thread, but it was closed after determining that misuse wasn't bad enough to merit a thread. However, You Gotta Have Blue Hair was redirected to Hair Colors for the reason you mentioned; that might be what you're thinking of. (World of Technicolor Hair was launched to cover works with characters whose natural hair colors are impossible in real life.)
Edit: Turned You Gotta Have Blue Hair into a faux-Green Link (it's still a redirect, but there's a Good Bad Bug with the site that allows redirects to be turned green by breaking the redirect, setting the page type to "disambig", and then turning it back into a redirect).

I got a rock for Halloween.I just noticed a loophole while adding images to Characters.My Little Pony Tales: if you upload an image that's over 800 pixels wide and crop it so it's narrower than that, it'll still go through.
I just noticed that in edit history pages the drop-down menu for "search by troper" doesn't show every troper that's edited that page. Isn't it supposed to? Or is there a cut-off limit? Or does it exclude those who've deleted their accounts?

It's limited to last 2 years IIRC, because every time a page is opened to load up all edits may affect performance.

TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupI finally get why so many tropers go for "
x15" instead of something simpler. Its because its not that hard to count, all you need to do is see the number of your current post and then substract the amount. So if your post is 1035 then the post you are responding to is 1020.
I still find it REALLY annoying but now I finally get why people did it without any dose of irony.
As long as this flower is in my heart. My Strength will flow without end.
