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.

Planning on doing Goodbye Strangers for Obscure Pages.

Welcome to Ideal's WorldSounds neat.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessGave myself a Halloween bio change.
I'll be on the lookout for some spooky Forum Games and Yack Fest threads.
Come play Character Uplift Game!Go right ahead.
Haven't thought of a Halloween bio yet.
TRS Queue | Works That Require Cleanup of Complaining | Troper Wallill do Bray Wyatt. would it go under Creator or Work, since the page is about the character?
Ooh, that's a pickle. I'd say Creator?
Also, I might plug Return to Monkey Island if I get the time to play it when it releases; can be tied to Halloween with pirate being popular costumes. And speaking of costumes, I'm still tempted to do the furry Coven on Forumwatch; I'll think it over.
I'd like to apologize for all this.I say creator too.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure Pureness~alnair20aug93 I added a pun pothole to your bio. Is that okay? I'm assuming "ghost contributing" is a play on "guest contributing".
Oh was it? I thought it was a typo, my bad. How about "a pumpkin cat who is ghost contributing"
I'd like to apologize for all this.ᜇᜎᜈ᜔ᜇᜈ᜔|I DO COMMISSIONS|ᜇᜎᜈ᜔ᜇᜈ᜔
I apparently missed Twiddler's comment because he ninja'd me. That is the correct answer. How much Googling did it take?
Also, I remembered the one other Halloween-themed sponsor I had considered: The SCP Foundation. I still like Monsters Inc. better, though.
I'd like to apologize for all this.SCP could always be a future April sponsor, because basically the entire thing would be "redacted" (or more likely in our case, spoiler tagged).
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessIf there's a need of ideas, the Vtuber cleanup thread (with going to a wider policy discussion what Web Video content even counts as tropable and still needing help) and new policies for Tropers/ pages may be of interest.
TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupI think I can do the VTuber one by relating it to Halloween costumes, because tying things back to the theme is fun :P
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessAlright, did a thematic hook into celebrating a different October celebration with Hold the Unsolicited Ingredient! It's National Pizza Month.
Vehicle-Based Characterization | Grief-Induced Split | Locker MailNice.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessNot much. First I searched for 'each day devour your soul'. Then I tried putting double quotes around "devour your soul". One of the results for that search was actually the lyrics for the song, but I didn't notice it at the time. I did notice another result saying "Each day you feel me devour your soul", so then I added 'feel' to the search terms. This time the result for the song lyrics was near the top. And then it was just a matter of looking up the musical itself and confirming that it was the same one, since I'm sure the original story has had tons of adaptations over the years.
If we do Monsters, Inc. as the sponsor, we obviously want to write it from the perspective before they find out that children aren't toxic, correct?
I'd like to apologize for all this.Probably, yeah, they're way more spooky to us humans that way.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessI added Ntozake Shange to "Needing Help," if that's okay. Black American playwright known for for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf who both was born and died in October. Needs a works list and tropes.
Vehicle-Based Characterization | Grief-Induced Split | Locker MailSounds good.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessI've heard about that show, it invented (or at least popularized) the choreopoem as a art form.
I'd like to apologize for all this.It was pointed out in a Yack Fest discussion that the Visual Arts subforum is suffering from underuse, so I might plug one of their threads this issue.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure Purenessthe new Professional Wrestling Cleanup thread might also be a good idea to plug. historically we've had trouble getting wrestling fans to come help us with problems those pages have.
(still trying to talk my girlfriend into getting known and giving us a hand, she already reads the wiki lol)
Think we should give Ectoplasm a plug? It's a relatively new launch, but is the wick count too high?
