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.

I wonder what the main image should be for December, since last month’s was already Christmas-related.
Join the Five-Man Band cleanup project!I'm pretty sure the plan was just to re-use it. Not every edition needs a brand new picture.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallThat’s not something I would do, but if you think we should, fine.
Join the Five-Man Band cleanup project!I mean, I think Alnair even described it as the "November / December" picture before
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallHere are the promised write ups:
For New Pages
- Madou Monogatari: Fia and the Mysterious School is a Dungeon Crawler RPG developed by Compile Heart and Sting Entertainment, in collaboration with both D4 Enterprise and Sega, and is the long awaited fourth entry in the Madou Monogatari series (which the Puyo Puyo franchise spun off from). The story follows a extraordinarily lucky girl named Fia and her friends as they attend Fuukou School to hone their magical talent. The page was created this November and while no English release date has been announced yet, you can still give the page a look.
For works needing a page:
- Homicipher is a female targeted horror visual novel developed by indie developer yatsunagi and published by Gamera Games. You, the protagonist, find yourself in an alternate dimension and in order to survive the various horrors, you need decipher whats its residents are saying with nothing but context clues, though perhaps you can be more with them. Despite gaining a massive audience, there has yet to page for this game, so why not take step and decipher what they say?
- Billiam is a series of videos made by Billiam Thiess (aka Hipster Trash), who has made a variety of content regarding various pieces of media. Whether that be reviewing early 2000s toys, reviewing the Digimon series or making multi-part and long formated videos analysing Lost, his content is quite varied. With his channel having enough tropable content that doesn't violate the Real Life Troping policy, maybe a page for him wouldn't hurt.
Also wanting responses to this write up
as well.
All look good
I had an idea for Disturbing Deer and now that's launched I threw it under New Tropes, lol. I can find an obscure trope later.

Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallSpeaking of PNH, Janny Wurts (had to look elsewhere for her birthday info) was tabled as an idea for December.
Would be ok if make a write-up for Peter Cullen since he lacks an actual filmography and I just want to. (Transformers is talking to me like the Green Goblin mask)

Welcome! Anything you're interested in writing about?

Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallAdded my entry. Here's what we still need:
- Description
- Non-english work
- Creator Spotlight
- Image of the Month
- Forumwatch
- Changelog
- PNH: Creator, Trope
- Project Spotlight
This is the first time I want to add something to Trope Report. Wondering if this can be added to the next issue's obscured work section:
- ANNO: Mutationem is a 2½D Action-Adventure game made by Chinese developer ThinkingStars released in March 2022. Taking place in a Post-Cyberpunk metropolis, the story follows Ann Flores, an Action Girl who learns that her younger brother, Ryan, has gone missing upon searching for an elusive cure-all medicine called N540. With the help of her best friend and skilled hacker, Ayane Misuno, Ann sets off to find and rescue her brother, slowly discovering that a secret organization called The Consortium, having their own agenda, is involved with Ryan's disappearance. The game contains RPG Elements with a Genre Mashup of Sci-Fi and Supernatural to create a unique experience, also received a DLC storyline that revolved around exploring a mysterious dungeon with roguelike features.
Could I pitch a thread for Forumwatch? Specifically this one
:
- Stock Parodies are supposed to be about parodies so common, and so recognizable, that they become tropes in their own right. However, lately, there has been an increase in Stock Parodies tropes that aren't common or consistent enough to be their own tropes, instead functioning as work Expy subtropes that would probably work better as Referenced by… pages. Over in Trope Talk, a discussion is taking place about what to do with these pages going forward. If you'd like to pitch in, come on over!
And a couple for Projects Spotlight:
- Here on TV Tropes, we aren't supposed to trope content from Content Leaks for content that hasn't come out yet. However, sometimes that rule isn't followed, and this content leaks into articles. If you'd like to pitch in next time a big leak comes out, head on over
to the "Cleaning up content from leaks" thread!
- Recently, the Trope Repair Shop has been having some issues. Discussions on tropes before they hit the Shop are too spread out, cleanup work isn't being completed, and the whole system has become dysfunctional. There is now a thread, "Trope Repair Shop reform", that aims to help fix these problems. If you've got any ideas as to how to make TRS a better place, come on over and join the discussion
!
Are these any good?

I'd like to write a bit about works that need a page (Hironobu Kageyama is one that comes to mind), as well as a creator page spotlight or two.
The suggestions all seem fine to me.
Any sponsor ideas?
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallAdded my entries since there were no objections.
Works That Require Cleanup of Complaining | Troper WallHere's my Cullen write up.
- Peter Cullen is a Canadian-American voice actor with a long career in the industry. Many know him as the iconic voice of Transformers' Optimus Prime but he also had a variety of other roles such as Eeyore in Winnie-the-Pooh, providing the voice of Toonami's promos and even had a few roles in popular 80s cartoons such as DuckTales (1987). Yet, despite having a long career, his page notably lacking a proper filmography and so why not give his page a look over and see how many roles he had?
Gonna write an entry for the Non-English Works section soon.
Working on Sandbox.The Amazing Race TV Tropes Edition.

Restarted the sandbox.
Hopefully I'll have my write ups for the new issue either later or tomorrow.
