Needs Help: Now Which One Was That Voice

Go To

To-do list:

  • To-do list: Now Which One Wast Hat Voice was renamed to Unspecified Role Credit and moved to Trivia. When moving examples to the new name, examples that aren't in-universe may only go on Trivia subpages, but references to the concept in non-Trivia examples are acceptable.

    Original post 
Note: This thread was proposed by Ayumi-chan.

Now Which One Was That Voice is about background information regarding a cast (whether they are Uncredited or just list the cast without specifying who they played (in some cases only the leads are properly credited)), so I'm surprised this isn't already Trivia information.

I was told that it doesn't need a wick check, so I decided to ask for a move to Trivia.

Paging ~Ayumi-chan to the thread. Anyway, moving to Trivia sounds fine.

Trivia, but not a fan of the internal subtropes.

Isn't "uncredited voice actor" just Uncredited Role? Maybe we can limit this to "credited voice actor without stated role".

Move to Trivia

Now, which one was that voice who said that?

Kirby is awesome.

[tup] to moving to Trivia, but can I just say I hate that name? It's a mouthful, a stock phrase, and in general I don't like tropes names that are questions. Something like "Block Of Names Credits" or, if you want to keep the question mark, "Who Voiced Who?".

No New Stock Phrases could be interpreted to mean any change of name would have to lose the question mark, but if not I have to say I love Who Voiced Who (especially if, like me, you watched enough 90s Cartoon Network to see it as a pun on Who Killed Who?). Otherwise, Credited Actor Uncredited Role? Actor With Unclear Role?

Yeah, it's Trivia instead of a Trope. [tup]

Yeah, Who Voiced Who is a much better name. I know that's not really what it's here for, but the old name is clunky and awful, a throwback to the olden days of the site where people seemed more concerned that a name was "cutesy" than concise.

Since this will soon be trivia, I think Who Voice Who would be an acceptable name and not a stock phrase in that context. I agree that’s a good rename.

Also [tup] to trivia

Who Voiced Who is indeed a better name.

Also reiterating my support for, in addition to a Trivia move, the suggestion Amonimus made to limit the scope. [tup]

Trivia.[tup]

Also, I know I complained about trope name generification in another TRS, but the current name for this one is so awful that a more specific one probably works better.

Unspecified Role Credit is another name we can use btw.

I'm also not entirely clear on what the distinction between this and Uncredited Role is supposed to be.

I think this trope is the actor is credited but not for a specific role.

Calling in favor of moving to Trivia and renaming.

What are our options?
