Needs Help: Feelies

Go To

To-do list:

  • Feelies is now Trivia. Off-page examples are only allowed on Trivia/ subpages, but inline wicks are allowed in the text of non-Trivia examples. This can be tracked with the Feelies Wick Cleaning sandbox.

    Original post 
Note: This thread was proposed by The Mayor of Simpleton.

The problem: Feelies is a wiki item about the titular feelies, which were, per the description, "real, tangible props, ripped straight from the game world" that were packaged with physical editions for games. The description also notes that they were often used for Copy Protection, and that in modern times, "collector's editions" of games have revived them by including them as bonuses.

All of this seems to indicate that this is not actually a trope, but a Trivia item. Despite this, it is classified in Main as a trope. Per Tropes Needing TRS:

* Feelies: About merch that comes packaged with games, which is external.

Proposed solution: I recommend moving Feelies from Main to Trivia.

What does everyone else think? Any other ideas or suggestions?

As the one who put this on TNTRS, yeah I agree that it should be Trivia.

Not paging the OP due to his absence. Anyway, I agree that this is Trivia and not a trope.

Let me take a look inside the box and the magic word needed to unlock the software is "Trivia."

OK, it's been moved to Trivia. I made Feelies Wick Cleaning to keep track of which pages we've checked, since inline wicks are allowed in the text of non-Trivia examples, and it's only examples we have to move to Trivia/ subpages (aside from in-universe examples, if there are any).

Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.
