Outdated Administrivia Pages

Yeah, cut that.

Wrong thread, sorry. This is about Administrivia.

So, according to this ATT query, there's been some debate as to whether Other Media subpages are acceptable for moving small folders to, or whether small folders should be kept on the trope page. The issue here is that How to Split a Page says nothing regarding this, even though it probably should.

Also, the How to Hard Split a Page folder comes across as not taking into a account the discontinuation of the Discworld/ namespace in favor of Literature/, based on the disambiguation wording used for the Wiki Words of the YMMV subpages (i.e., YMMV.Night Watch Literature and YMMV.Night Watch Discworld), though maybe I'm overthinking that part. That said, YMMV.Night Watch Literature was moved to YMMV.Night Watch Series according to its cut reason, presumably due to the namespace discontinuation.

Edit: I think I fixed what I brought up in the second paragraph, so I think that's a moot point now.

Before we start focusing on other issues, are we set to do the changes mentioned here? I fixed the issues people were talking about.

I'm fine with that.

I think it’s good enough to swap in.

Mistakenly Banned doesn't seem to be a trope. Might it be Administrivia?

That page was brought up in this TRS thread for all of the "internet speak" trope pages.

Why Am I Banned might be a good redirect to What to Do If You Are Suspended.

I agree.

So do I.

Since it's been ten days since the last post, I'm wondering if any of the changes mentioned here have been made, since WarJay suggested looking at those before moving on to another project. It doesn't look like the changes on Up For Grabs Rewrite have been implemented on the Up for Grabs; not sure about anything else.

It might be possible to turn Why Am I Banned into a redirect to What to Do If You Are Suspended in the web trope TRS thread, since Mistakenly Banned came up there.

I've done nothing because only like two people have said anything about it and nobody who's posted about it is a mod. I don't want to make changes and cause problems.

How to Create a Work's Page was last edited 5 months ago...

IIRC, this is where to discuss changes to it, maybe?

~Fighteer has said that Title Tropes don't count for work pages...

If that's true, or something we want, we should change that page to reflect that? Currently, How to Create a Work's Page says:

I'm wary about such Omnipresent Tropes as Hero Protagonist and The Antagonist counting, but that's fixed by removing The Hero mention...

I was speaking off the cuff but I'm pretty sure there's an overall consensus along the lines of what I said. Let me get some others to chime in.

Whilst you're here Fighteer, thoughts on these fixes?

I can't pay attention to that just yet. Give me a bit.

Sure thing.

Regarding Sandbox.How To Create And Launch TLP Drafts, how much of it is already on TLP Guidelines?

Not much. The sandbox was a result of us splitting content between TLP Guidelines and this; the only things repeated are the obvious things like "don't rogue launch" and "get 5 net hats" and stuff.

Do we have an Administrivia/ page explaining the barring of new sliding scales, similar to No New Stock Phrases? There are still people trying to make drafts of that nature without knowing because the rule is buried and it's not mentioned even on SlidingScale.Homepage or Sorting Algorithm of Tropes.

Buried where? I didn't know we had a rule against new sliding scales (though I have no objections to it).

It's something the mods said in an ATT thread once in like, 2016.
