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.

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.

Either 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.

If 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.

I 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).

^ 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

If no one does the Simpson write up, I'll do it instead.

Any suggestions for Tropes and Works needing help?

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.

We have a changelog entry but no work and trope entry for PNH. Coachpill would do the work entry but no write up so far.

So Glorified Sperm Donor has been merged with Disappeared Dad? (I just saw in a recent edit)

Sorry 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.

[up][up][up] Go ahead an write up an entry for the changelog.

[up][up] Looks good.

Now all that's left is a trope entry for PNH, the intro and a grammar check. Hopefully we get to publish this before February ends.

Also, is it possible to credit more than one troper in the intro?

Those are the last things we need to do.

I can try and find a trope, though I never do PNH. I can make an intro though.

No, it's tropes from things like Pages Needing Wiki Magic. That's where all of these are from. (TNTRS isn't super relevant here)

I know I have been away for a while. I don't know if I'll contribute this time, or in the future, but if I do decide to come back, I'll let everyone know.

Busy with work and other things, mainly.
