Trope Report Revival

Go To

So over 10 years ago or so, we used to have a newsletter called Trope Report, which covers all of the changes that happened on the wiki weekly. I have been nostalgic for it recently so I thought of it and it seemed to be a fun way to inform tropers about the changes going on around the wiki.

The sandbox for the project can be found at Sandbox.Trope Report Dummy Edition and the sandbox for ideas/plans can be found on Sandbox.Trope Report Ideas. After a new issue is published, revert the Dummy Edition back to a template using the text on Sandbox.Trope Report Template.

Good luck, Satoshi!


Okay, done. Left some edit reasons explaining some of my reasoning.

~Alnair 20 Aug 93, I reworded one of your entries a bit. Are you good with it?

~Twiddler I just realized that there was a typo, so I'm okay with it. [tup]

Since May is Mental Health Awareness Month, I'd like to write an entry for Die Anstalt for either Older/Obscure Work or Non-English Work Spotlight aside from the regular trope spotlights.

I had Destino, Garden Party and The Immortal in my buffer. I'll check the list again when I get back home.

Huh, I was adding the whole "we surpassed the original newsletter" thing to Timeline.Tv Tropes and discovered that Trope Report is in main for some reason. Probably should've noticed that sooner, but hey.

I have been aware of that for a while but wasn't sure where to move it or if it should be moved. I guess it would belong on Administrivia/ or Newsletter/

Here's my write-up for Die Anstalt. Any more comments before I add it?

  • May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and in these turbulent times it's always good to take care of oneself's mental health, such as making regular visits to the therapist. Die Anstalt is a German web game where you play as a psychiatrist treating some rather unconventional patients; plush toys! For each patient, you have to choose between a variety of treatments to figure out their issues and traumas. Every patient has their own quirks and problems, so you must be careful on which treatment to administer as well as the appropriate time to use them, as the cuddly toys can drastically change in behavior as their session progresses. It's an oft-overlooked game with a unique premise and fascinating characters, and it's even free to play, so why not give it a try and play doctor?

Also, for New Tropes, I want to write entries for Action Horror and Fanart At First Sight.

EDIT: Oh, it was already plugged? Sorry, I guess I didn't check thoroughly enough.

Thanks. I was busy with other things.

Maybe we can try doing an Aversion cleanup plug instead?

[up] Having checked all of the previous issues, it seems that it wasn't plugged in any of those, so I believe this should be okay. Make sure to double check just in case.
