Caption Discussion/Repair Thread:

Go To

This is the thread to use if you feel that the page image itself is good but the caption needs help.

If you think that both the image and the caption are poor, please make a thread in Image Pickin' for the page, and we'll work on the image and caption both at the same time.

As with other TRS and IP threads, please state your reasons and make your case in your first post. Don't make the other posters spend time trying to pry it out of you.

That's usually something you bring up in the IP for the work page, as it also requires an IP thread to change a work page image.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

I prefer the "MANga" pun, if only because it makes more sense.

[up][up] Let me rephrase, after an IP is done and closed, the captions are automatically pulled despite there being no votes to do so, and I don't know why.

When it comes to work pages, I honestly find captions that aren't the tagline to be superfluous.

I just leave them since I don’t care enough to look up if it’s apropos.

Do we allow really long caption? Because I found one in The Accidental Spy. If it's not allowed, should we replace it with different words or just shorten it?

That's indeed way too long, and complainy to boot.

[up] So should we removed it or change it?

Black Blood has a note with a joke response to a caption joke and isn't needed.

Tropers.dudeu added whole bunch of captions to Characters.Kingdom Hearts Enemy Creatures, which are basically for the most part Reference Overdosed, some of them are really weird to think about (Creeper's caption reference the "Revenge" Minecraft music video, when Kingdom Hearts II predates Minecraft, and Lump of Horror references Nightmare Before Christmas, which is part of Kingdom Hearts franchise already). None of the other character pages are like this, so I am pretty sure this shouldn't be like this.

Continue the bloodline, Fujimaru!

Where have I seen something like that before? Ah yes, all captions at Characters.Five Nights At Freddys are also like that.

So when Willbyr locked up the thread for Film.Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers 2022, he never asked if we wanted to revert to the original caption or keep the current.

When the page for Digimon Fusion was changed after its thread, the caption was removed. Should it be added back?

This was the old caption:

I don't think it adds anything, especially if you're not familiar with the show.

I'm inclined to go through the IP Morgue and bring for the discussion any lost captions for work pages if they should be kept, moved to page quote or left gone. Just don't have good time for it.

Loose Tooth Episode’s caption is a little too snarky for my liking.

Sylvanian Families's caption is very snarky and potholes to Tastes Like Diabetes, which is now a disambiguation.

[up]Technically, the pothole should point to Sweetness Aversion, but I'd just pull it for being complainy.
