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.

Maybe another line in the trope change log.

  • Stylistic Suck's description was expanded, after discussants agreed that due to the complex nature of the trope, a soft split (determined in June) would actually be difficult to carry out.

[up] That's probably better. I think we should assume that the changelog notes for incomplete TRS threads are always subject to change.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Sorry I haven't been active for a while. I was on vacation in Iceland.

I'd like to extend my section to include "Useful Notes pages we could use" and suggest that someone could TLP UsefulNotes.Korean Language and UsefulNotes.Italian Language. We already have subpages such as Korean Honorifics and these languages often pop up in recent media.

I know that ~Septimus Heap and ~Phantom Dusclops 92 are native Italian speakers who could help.

I think that could work, and that is understandable. Just a reminder that you agreed for me to let you write about a work for one of my Work Spotlights, I reserved a slot for both sections so you can choose.

I hate to say this, but in light of my long-standing concerns about the proliferation of Useful Notes pages I have to pass here.

Lucked out that a page for a work I actually know was created this month, so at least part of my quota is done so far.

I'm gonna balance a job, two classes, and an internship this summer, so forgive me if my entries get a bit shorter. I'll still try to hit at least two pages a month.

I'm debating becoming a permanent editor since everyone is so busy. I could do Projects Spotlight.

Hahaha thanks. Don't know if it's official yet though. Plus eventually college will start again for me, although the situation's a bit hazy since my community college still isn't fully reopened.

We're halfway through July, still nothing really amazing as Image of the Month. Not that I would start writing right now, I'm just saying that I don't have a plan at the moment.

No worries though, there's still a lot time for something cool to pop up, last month's winner was suggested on the final week. Worst case scenario, I'll browse through everything that happened this month once more.

I'd like to apologize for all this.

So I am back to being an active contributor to the site. Going to look TRS for changelog entries. Right now all I know to add to the list is Transgender

I just noticed something.

Last month's Trope Report and May (I think)'s Trope Report had a duplicate trope listed in the Changelog: Shocking Swerve, which is now a redirect to Ass Pull.

Ah well.

Anyone have a sponsor idea? August is apparently National Black Business month in the US, so maybe we can do something based on that?

Can we do something tasteful based off that? I wouldn't want to choose something that ends up having Unfortunate Implications or undermining the issue.

Yeah, I was aiming for a fictional black-owned business. If there's any that'd fit. Obviously we wouldn't use anything racist. If it doesn't work we can just go themeless again.

If it doesn't work we can just go themeless again.

Honestly given the volatility of the proposed theme, it might just be better to go themeless.

Maybe we can do some type of summer theme? I always associate August with summer.
