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.

We need a sponsor, I think we were torn between Chicken Pies and Meat Pies.

For what it's worth, as a Sweeney Todd superfan, Meat Pies gets my vote

My entry is done. Besides the sponsor we are just needing finishing touches on the rest and Pages Needing Help, yes? ~crazysamaritan

(If you need help — I was thinking that Aishwarya Rai's page could be more readable for someone on that level of famous, and lo and behold she was born in November.)

Also, would anyone mind if I put one of my newer pages, Dionne Warwick, on New Work Page? Again, that level of famous, but I made a page just a week ago and it got put on Pages Needing Wicks nigh-immediately because I am having trouble coming up with 10 tropes.

[up] I think that'd be okay, there's room for another entry without leaving the whole section clogged. Ask Mewtron, she runs the section.

Also, I think Starcrusher wanted to add something before the newsletter goes live?

Yeah Sync, go right ahead with the Warwick entry. smile

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

How's this for a sponsor?

This edition of Trope Report is brought to you by Mrs. Lovett's Meat Pies. We have some shepherd's pie peppered with actual shepherd on top! We'll take the customers that we can get, serving anyone to anyone!

I don't really see why. It's not a work page or a trope. It's a subpage.

I added the sponsor, we're only missing Pages Needing Help.

Eh, looking over the list of new tropes for this month, nothing quite jumped out at me for this month. Might just do a few more than normal next month, but for now I think I'm fine with just the one that Tabs added.

Yeah, when CS can finish that section. At this point, I'm starting to think we should skip the spellchecking phase.

I am thinking we can give CS until midnight today (it is currently 9:30 AM central time) for an update. We can take over writing the entry if stuff got in the way on their end.

Should I ping crazysamaritan? Did we do that already?

Synch pinged me, I've been able to quickly toss up the creator bullet that I wanted, but I may not be able to add the other two bullets before it gets too late this evening. Sorry for delaying the newsletter.

That's ok. Did you have any ideas for pages to feature (someone else can do the writeup)? Does anyone else have an idea?

#1574: Nov 1st 2021 at 2:49:05 PM

I fixed the link, I assume it's Will Rogers?

As for works, Mr. Potato Head has very few tropes despite being so popular.

Ummm...

  • Many of our readers recognize Mr. Potato Head, if only as a character from Toy Story, but might not realize we have a page. Did you know that it was the first toy advertised on television? (This was when customers had to supply their own potato.) It's been in production ever since. The description is decent, but there are few tropes for such a popular toy.
