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.

Right now we need Forumwatch, a project, a trope for Pages Needing Help, and a sponsor write-up (we were discussing sponsors on the previous page). I'm sure Fernando is already working on Image of the Month.

[down] Alrighty, good luck and take as much time as you need. [tup]

[up][up] Is the Unintentional Period Piece Cleanup a decent one to offer up as a project? It's trying to clean up and remove entries that don't really apply (they were written for their era and weren't intended to be unintentional, more just "that's what things were like") and are considered "dated" just because people die, tech and science and whatnot moves on, and the like. I can do a write up for it tomorrow.

I'm good with the sponsor Fernando suggested if anyone can write it.

Edit: And we have a lot of tropes in the obscure tropes section, maybe one can be moved to the PNH?

[up] My vote goes for Clarke's Law for Girls' Toys due to example count/wick count imbalance.

Also, is the wick count for Storming the Beaches a bit high? It's almost at 130 wicks.

Sounds good to me. Doesn't even need a rewrite (which is good since I like what was written)

[up][up] Works for me, as the writer of it.


  • The Unintentional Period Piece Cleanup thread could use help. The project aims to clean up the many examples of media that while dated, aren't unintentionally dated just because time, tech, and the world moves on. The goal's to clean up or remove examples that don't fit, eliminate general examples, and fix situations more applicable to being the nature of time going forward, and more hands make less work.

Another for Projects.


  • The Cleanup Thread. That is, The "The Trope" cleanup thread, which is helping to clear up one of the most overused gushy ways of promoting Trope Codifiers by merely saying "the X" without explanation. They don't all have to go, but they do have to be explained. Maybe you can help clarify?

I'll try to get Image of the Month done later today I'm so so sorry.

Sorry for the delay, but I'm finally done with Image of the Month. I'll try my hand at the sponsor.

Oh, and I'd forgotten that I'd saved up And Tango Makes Three for this month; luckily I happened to notice and drafted that too. So we don't have to worry about Works that Need a Page anymore, yay!

[up] For a second there I thought you added it to New Works.

Do I add the sponsor? I only got one vote.
