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.

Subtracting 15 from a post number still takes some thinking, especially when the needed post in on the previous page.
And I'm still waiting for the return of a quick-quote button that pastes the link to the select post in the new message form.

Oh God, THANK YOU!
I know, and I still dont like it, but now I at least understand WHY so many people did it without any sort of self awareness their posts would be impossible to follow.

As long as this flower is in my heart. My Strength will flow without end.I was happening to check the wicks for Twig (2022), and discovered that a redirect, ComicBook.Twig, was on a "shows that need a summary" subpage. I removed it from there, but I'm glad someone else on this site has heard of it.
I'm surprised that Satiating Sandwich is such an old trope. I kind of assumed it was a retooled version of an older trope that was just "Sandwiches exist".
It indeed is. In RenamedTropes.Q To Z, it's noted that it used to be "Everything's Satiating with Sandwiches" , but it seems that it kept a similar definition.
The smoothest Image Pickin threads (in my opinion) go as follows:
- Post 1: Suggestion(s)
- Posts 2-9: "
"
- Post 10: Motion and close thread.
IP policy
says 5-7
is consensus but I like finishing a thread with unanimous consensus by the 10th post (that means 8
).
Yeah, we got a bit stuck at the finish line. It'll come soon.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallI still need to write Projects Spotlight.
Luckily, I’m at home right now, and I don’t have a class until around 6 pm, so I can do so. BRB
Works That Require Cleanup of Complaining | Troper WallSandbox.Works That Require Cleanup Of Complaining has 2,000+ inbounds. I'm a little concerned as to where those inbounds are coming from, due to the nature of the page.
Works That Require Cleanup of Complaining | Troper WallTV Tropes is practically unusable on a phone because shit like this keeps happening. Even fucking Fandom has less obstructive ads than this. And that's saying something.
I did not think that Image Pickin threads could go for a month, damn
.
Editing since I'm still the latest poster here.
Even as an engineer, I'm still apparently an Eclectic Troper. I was catering to Image Pickin for the past few days and now I have the urge to make two
TLP drafts
and adopt another

When you're alone I'm reaching out to let you know that you're far from strangers, like the saviorHow familiar should you have to be with a work before you commit to editing its page? The main Earth Defense Force page is in dire need of a grammar cleanup that I'm more than willing to take care of now, and I've looked into the games enough to have a cursory knowledge of the series, but I'm wondering if I'd benefit from actually delving into one of the games myself.
Don't you ever fix your lips to say that, bruh. I'm sitting right here and I got my daughter in the backseat![]()
TIL we have a Troper Types page. Also I'm apparently somewhere between an Advertiser (I stick to Works pages a lot) and a Midwife (since I go to TLP and provide examples for tropes-in-the-making).
I guess I'm a "Fetish Troper". I've created pages for a couple of ecchi works, my first experience with TRS was with Bleached Underpants (which is deeply related to eroge) and four of my eight threads in the TRS Queue are sex and sexuality tropes.

I still find it REALLY annoying but now I finally get why people did it without any dose of irony.
At least the developers re-added the ability to directly see post numbers for forum posts, since for a while the only way to see post numbers was to hover the mouse over the timestamp.
Edit: Pagetopper.
