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 work ya'll, this month was complicated but we pulled through.
Edit: Hmm, the description mentions Screwed by the Network, but changelog doesn't.

Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallThey are both on the changelog now
I just listed all the big tropes I could think of for the description and assumed that they were already on the changelog.

Macron's notesWhoops, must’ve missed those. Thanks Macron.
Works That Require Cleanup of Complaining | Troper WallWe should probably remove Ambiguous Situation as it was covered last issue.
Works That Require Cleanup of Complaining | Troper WallWe are live now. Advertised the the newsletter on Ask The Tropers and cleaned out the sandbox.
Macron's notesGlad you could make it in time, I won't have internet for a few more days. I'll still contribute to the next issue, I'll just start later than usual.
I'll mention something that I've been excited for: as August's sponsor, how about The SOS Brigade, referencing the infamous "Endless Eight" arc?
For the August issue, I'd like to tackle Immortal Apathy and/or Last Day of Normalcy.
SING TO ME, LEND ME THE SONG OF BLASPHEMYUnsure for tropes yet (I need some good August-y category ideas) but I might plug one of the Writer's Block threads, like Character Superpower Workshop
or Character Hilbert Inn
.
And I'll plug Um, Actually to Works that Need a Page; unsure what else to do yet.
I'll use the SOS Brigade as an excuse to shoot Willbyr a PM, since he is (was?) a huge Haruhi fan.
I'll add Creator.Alex Bale as another "needs a page" because while so far we have pages on WebVideo.Pizza Time Pizza and WebVideo.Spongebob Conspiracy, his other integrated ARGs and him as a creator lack pages.
Edit: Or maybe the page should be for ARG.The Muse ARG?

Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallTrope ideas. Since one day in August is "International Beer Day" I scrolled through Hard-Drinking Tropes and found some contenders. I'll either do All Beer Is Ale, Science Cocktail, Flair Bartending, or Skull Cups. There's also Necktie Headband...
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallI won't add anything to this issue right now, but I will probably add some Wiki Talk threads to Forumwatch later. Maybe the "Works about X" indexes thread, since we never came to a conclusion on what was to be done?
As for works, all I could think of RN was Familijny CD Romek (where Phoenix Games got their fairy tale videos from), and I don't think it would work, since some tropes could just be tranferred from the latter page. The page is also too new, from 2019.
EDIT: Now that there's a Balloon Belly cleanup thread, I could add that to this issue.
EDIT AGAIN: I will now add the Balloon Belly cleanup thread.

Working on Sandbox.The Amazing Race TV Tropes Edition.I added All Beer Is Ale and an entry for Character Hilbert Inn
. I also added my Alex Bale / Muse ARG thing, and because both lack pages and Alex is the ARG's creator, it was hard to separate them, but I could try if needed.
There's a few works I could plug for Non-English Works, such as Submachine, Interstella 5555 or Last Window. I'll see.
It's a shame I currently can't access my computer, I had all my notes there.
That sucks, hope you get your computer back somehow.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallMade a new project
, the first one in a long while; I'll see if it picks up and if I plug it here.
Right now, I'm making a lot of promises but little action. I'll pick up the slack soon, promise.

Yeah, sorry, I didn't double check the link.
