New Work Page Workshop Thread

To be fair, that Skippy's List page isn't great either. And redundancy doesn't matter- examples still need to contain full context, even if it may seem unnecessary. There has to be something to crosswick.

Fixed all the problems with the page.

Hey, I'm working on a page for the Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS annual theatrical productions. I listed a lot of tropes here under the folder with the same title. I assume I could list them under Theatre.Broadway Cares Equity Fights AIDS, since many of these productions are similarly structured and I don't think they each need their own page. I suppose it's comparable to Eurovision Song Contest?

I do have some concern about verifiability. The Broadway Backwards 2021 video is going to be taken down later tonight, and I don't know if it's going to be mirrored or preserved in its entirety (a few clips from the show are preserved on the official Youtube, seemingly permanently). But I'm taking note of the theatrical productions that were preserved on Youtube as well as the productions that I've seen in person.

1. I think it’s fine to have all of the plays under one page.

2. If there’s still official clips on You Tube by the time the video is down, I don’t think verifiability will be affected much.

Just stumbled across Adios, which is 100% ZCE, 0% crosswicked, and also 0% a work I actually know anything about. It appears to have been created entirely by ~Kelzor.

Broadway Cares Equity Fights AIDS is live. I'm not quite sure where to index it so I listed it under a new section ("Charities") on Theatre.

Hm... shouldn't it be under Creator/ rather than Theatre/ ? It is a organization that produces works, rather than a work series in itself, right? Compare with the other pages listed on Theatre, such as Cirque du Soleil.

It was encompassing the plays that seem too structurally similar to be their own page, so I thought Theatre/ might be better for crosswicking as the works probably won't have their own pages. But I could redirect it to Creator/ if that fits better. (I thought somebody said I could put it under Theatre/ but I might have misremembered Macron's affirmation to put them on one page).

I think I'll move it to Creator though.

EDIT: Creator.Broadway Cares Equity Fights AIDS

I wouldn't worry about the Creator/ part for crosswicking. Consider, for example, poetry. Most poems, like individual songs, don't get their own work pages; on trope pages, they are listed under Literature (though I've also seen Poetry example sections) and the examples link to their creator's page.

Things Not Seen just got launched by ~Jayalaw, who could use some help getting the page up to wiki standards. (We don't actually remember most of that series... maybe we'll read it again now.)

Huh... I remember loving the first one, never realized that there were sequels. Family got quite a laugh out of "Greek Warrior Mode".

I know a portion of it from memory, so using that for the gaps. I would appreciate some help with it, though!

Just split off Pac-Man 99 from the main series page. It's got a decent number of tropes just from moving what was already there... what it really needs is a description. That's never really been something we're good at <.<

Maybe try describing the gameplay?

~Merseyuser1 and Fanfic.The Clinton Fics: Problems with example context aside, works talked about on the site have to be verifiable by other users. The page itself says the fic disappeared from the internet, and googling "the Clinton fics" brings up this site as the first hit, which is not a good sign. If this fic is no longer publicly available and only exists in your memories, it should not be getting a works page.

Basically... Missing Episode works that no longer exist shouldn't be troped if the whole thing's gone?

As it is, I've cutlisted the page.

If there's no way for someone else to view the work, and no collective memory of the fact that the work used to exist, then it falls into Unpublished Works.

Thank you for the advice.

Super Soaker only has five items listed. All of them are true ZCE, incorrectly formatted, and are literally all just complaining tropes (one of them being Flame Bait and another being In Universe Examples Only). Paging ~WDS to see if we can work it out. (Can a water gun even have tropes?)

The Toys/ namespace is for things like BIONICLE that have a story alongside the toys. Last time I checked, that doesn't apply to Super Soakers, so that page can be cut for not being a tropeworthy work alongside being created solely to complain about how only the Super Soakers made in the 90s deserve to carry the brand name.

Planning to make a work page for the Undertale/CrashBandicoot crossover Alternate Universe Banditale, which consists of music, character and setting illustrations, and some animated scenes (can be found in the music playlist). I'm wondering which namespace is best to put this in. The prototype work page can be found here, in the Namespace/Banditale folder.

WebOriginal/? We have a thread for medium/namespace questions, by the way — it's pinned at the top of this subforum.

Today I have created pages for two Minecraft YouTubers, FitMC and The Horizon.

Anyone wanting to review the pages is welcome.

Alright, I have made a page for the Undertale/Crash Bandicoot Crossover, Banditale, with all the existing tropes crosswicked. Any help to add tropes and such would be welcome.

There has been some discussion recently about whether and when Let's Play type videos are tropable. You might want to take those to the thread over here. I haven't watched all of Fit's stuff, but I'm questioning whether his vids are really tropable... Horizon sounds similar, but even more so.
