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.

That's very excellent.
I need some time to rewrite my TD cleanup entry, but I also was thinking that, for next month's issue, I could write an entry for Animation.Robocar Poli under Works Needing A Page.
Working on Sandbox.The Amazing Race TV Tropes Edition.Nice work!
I am going to do the description later today now that I have stuff to write about.

Macron's notesWhich reminds me, I made sure to add Medal of Honor (1999)'s entry to the New Work Page spotlight as well, since I haven't actually done that until now. I'm sure that's fine, right?
"We are gonna sit here and take it! You hear me!? We're gonna take it!"I personally would have saved additional new work spot light entries for the next issue because we are going to be moving to copy editing phase for the July issue soon but eh.
Macron's notesI paged Twiddler in the offsite mod chat to ask about the copyediting, and I also brought up the fact that having three recent bulletins at once doesn't leave room for a Trope Report announcement.
Edit: I think we're going to take down the bulletin for account creation dates being displayed in profiles when the Trope Report announcement is put up, since that's less important/significant than TLP updates and hiring of moderators of the site's social media accounts.

I got a rock for Halloween.Alright, done going over the draft as it stands. Substantial changes include:
- Shining Goodness Changelog entry: added the tropes it was said to be redundant with and changed "lack of tropeworthiness" to "lack of wicks".
- Split up the Trope Tropes Changelog entry into subbullets.
- Added a few people to the contributors who contributed but weren't listed.
And on that last note: ~Rmpdc ~ Siegfried 1337 ~ alnair20aug93 ~ wingedcatgirl now's your chance to personalize your bios if you want.
Messed up some pings: ~Siegfried 1337 ~alnair20aug93 ~wingedcatgirl
This was the update (most of it) I was referring to. I think we can leave it alone and save the details for the next issue?
Macron's notes
I agree with saving the update details for the next issue, especially since I think some updates might still be pending.
Edit: I guess you already said some updates are pending when you said most of the update, but I still think we should wait for the changes to be finished before writing about them, since it might take time, and focus on getting this month's issue copyedited before it goes live for now.

I got a rock for Halloween.I think everyone that was pinged had more than enough time to adjust their bios so I am going to move forward with publishing the article.
