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.

Just for transparency, gonna hold off on doing B.B. King since the section he'd go under already has three entries.
I'd be fine with putting him in the Creator Page Spotlight since the page is about him and not specific works of his. (I know Music/ pages are considered work pages even if they're about a specific musician or group and not an album or song, but I don't think that's a big deal.)

I got a rock for Halloween.Okay, if you guys say so...
- The Fourth of July celebrates the US becoming a democracy, but that doesn't mean there can't be kings. As a key figure in expanding the blues, B.B. King is one such king, dubbed "King of the Blues", and fans of the genre consider him the best to this very day. Though undoubtably influential, the thrill here is gone, as his entire catalogue only has single digit wicks. Rather than worry our lives, let's see how blue his page can get — you can never make that move too soon.
Hopefully someone knows his music enough to appreciate the string of puns

With the exception that I don't think you need to italicize his name since it's referring to him and not one of his albums.

I got a rock for Halloween.I wanted one more thing, so I threw The Official Bad Puns Topic in there.
Edit: Also, do we have any sponsor ideas? I may just throw Strickland Propane, from King of the Hill, into the mix for National Grilling Season. But I've never actually watched the show, so I just thought of it because of my knowledge of the meme.
Or we could celebrate the return of Total Drama with something like Celebrity Manhunt or The Drama Brothers.

Since Marmaduke's left unclaimed after an attempt to sort things out, I'll might as well grab the leash, so to speak.
- July marks the start of the Dog Days of Summer. Why not cool off with one famous pooch? Marmaduke is a single-panel comic following the titular Great Dane who's always into mischief, even dragging his owner along on walks. The page is lacking in tropes and has 72 wicks, so why not sniff around for more?

Re: last page: Magical Guide and Shiny Sense sounds fine for Pages Needing Help but I think the former only needs crosswicking.
I think I'll try to find a creator page for this month. Just have to pick an index to look through.

Macron's notesAll right, we can cover Magical Guide (we already did Shiny Sense a couple years back).
Putting in the Marmaduke writeup.
Is it okay if I now add the Crass Canuck entry? Unless there are still further suggestions?

ᜇᜎᜈ᜔ᜇᜈ᜔|I DO COMMISSIONS|ᜇᜎᜈ᜔ᜇᜈ᜔Since I'm taking a break from mod work until the weekend (as I've already mentioned in the Absent people thread and the TRS meta thread) and only actively update the Changelog when I'm actively managing TRS, I thought I'd let the thread know that I probably won't be updating the Changelog until after the break is over.
To end this post on a more lighthearted note, I'm a bit late on chiming in on this one, but I agree with the decision to feature Crass Canuck since it was launched in time for Canada Day (as was mentioned in its entry).

I got a rock for Halloween.Is it alright that I plug Frogger's Journey: The Forgotten Relic under the New Work Page Spotlight? It's a work page made just today by an acquaintance of mine on this site, so it'll be a gift of sorts if it gets plugged.
