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.

Is Healing Light a good idea for another new trope? 28 wicks, currently. Vainglorious Downfall also has just 36 wicks — both were launched earlier this month. Neither trope is necessarily relationship-oriented, though I can probably spin the latter to have something to do with Proud Beauty villains.
they/she/xyr; editor of Minecraft SMPsEither is fine. Not everything needs to be Valentine's day themed, ya'll. It's fine to just have a normal trope or work in there.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallIf no TRS changes happen this month, I think it's fine if we skip it.
Now all that's left is the PNH folder. I've already suggested Jason Simpson, but since I don't want to hog all of the glory of adding stuff, I'm letting someone else to the write up.
She/Her | Currently cleaning: N/AI would like to give Heal It with Nature the spotlight. It's not exactly new (it's one year old) but it still has a low number of wicks, even though it's certainly a common trope. Although I wonder if it's better to leave it for April (Earth Day month).
If Aquaman is "Nobody's favorite superhero", then I am Odysseus. (They/Them) (Troper Wall)^ That's a good shout; I feel there's plenty of under-utilized tropes (I'm good with saving it until April)
EDIT: I added Healing Light and Vainglorious Downfall

they/she/xyr; editor of Minecraft SMPsHalf A Sixpence caught my eye recently; I can do a writeup for it tomorrow morning.
Your goateed philistine is sashaying towards us. | 🧱Double post but since no one will do it, I'll make the write up.
- February's birthday is Jason Simpson, a Canadian actor and voice actor best known for League of Legends, Sausage Party, and My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Unfortunately, that's all his description says about him. Tropes relating to his roles are also appreciated.
Previously, it was decided that Easily Forgiven would be renamed to Acknowledged Absolution and classified as In-Universe Examples Only. However, it's now being made YMMV instead. TRS thread here
.
How's the progress. I hope this would be posted soon. It's past Valentine's.
ᜇᜎᜈ᜔ᜇᜈ᜔|I DO COMMISSIONS|ᜇᜎᜈ᜔ᜇᜈ᜔So Glorified Sperm Donor has been merged with Disappeared Dad? (I just saw in a recent edit)
they/she/xyr; editor of Minecraft SMPsSorry about the delay; I made an educated wish about when I'd be able to do the writeup. Here it is now:
- Half A Sixpence is a 1963 musical comedy based on the 1905 Kipps: The Story of a Simple Soul by H. G. Wells, focusing on draper clerk Arthur Kipps who inherits a swathe of money nearly overnight before many mishaps rob him of it, thereby teaching him the value of a dollar. The show and 1967 film make greater use of Kipps' banjo-playing, and February 20 marks the date of the film's US release, so fine-tuning the description and stringing examples about adaptational changes across the page is encouraged.
I can try and find a trope, though I never do PNH. I can make an intro though.

So would PNH be the "Not Thriving" folder in Tropes Needing TRS? Or something?

they/she/xyr; editor of Minecraft SMPsNo, it's tropes from things like Pages Needing Wiki Magic. That's where all of these are from. (TNTRS isn't super relevant here)

Thanks.
As you guys love it, I'm gonna add it now.
Hope the issue would be done soon.
