Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
I think they've already been suspended for that.
But we kept the rename even though the troper was suspended for it?
Keet cleanup
Of course, they moved the page without changing the references to its title, so it still acts like it's called Global Warming.

I say just move it back.
I swear that there was a cleanup thread to migrate the wicks. It had participation from the mods and every other earmark of a sanctioned project...
All the wicks were changed too, going by the related page.
Ngl, I kind of like Climate Change as the trope name over Global Warming since it's a more accurate name for what's actually going on when it comes to that.
Climate change is the preferred terminology these days, since it reflects the climate is moving to extremes as it warms. Climate change as terminology reflects that some areas may get cooler, even though the globe as a whole is warming. It also reflects that there are a whole raft of effects that have little to do, directly, with warming too.
Since it was unilaterally moved and this is a trope page, perhaps open a quick TRS when a slot opens to confirm?

Preferred terminology or no, which is used more commonly in fiction? Which name better reflects its portrayal in fiction?
You fell victim to one of the classic blunders!
A "Unilateral Page Move Cleanup" thread wouldn't be a bad thing. Especially in cases like this where the move is for the better.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.
^ Yes please.

^^ Agreed.
I prefer Climate Change myself, seeing as that is now the established term for the phenomenon.

It was part of the TRS Wick Cleaning
. I don't think they did this alone?
Found the thread that was involved - it was the Transplant Cleanup - not sure if the mods ever looked at the page... and these comments were after the fact, the page had already been transplanted.
I still think a thread for Unilateral Page Moves is needed, unless you want me to make one.
At this point, from the queries I made, the salt against AHI-3000 is accumulating, and I don't want that, and I want to shake the salt off.
Well, reverted it back to Global Warming. If anyone ever asks why, tell them head over to thread, due to how it was unilaterally changed. All wicks must be reverted back as well.
I too am into renaming into Climate Change, but for the sake of formality and proper process, the wicks should be reverted to Global Warming and then we'll talk about renaming this to Climate Change.

Maybe include an edit reason when doing so like "reverting this to that pending formal name change"
Will do that. 👍🏽
Seems Walk In Shadows' edit reasons are all claiming to be "Renamed per TRS". So far, I don't seem to find any TRS thread on renaming Global Warming to Climate Change.

Well, thats' 100 wicks down, 240 more to go.
Honestly, most of these are potholes, and I think Climate Change should be better off as a Useful Notes page, but that's for another time.
ᜇᜎᜈ᜔ᜇᜈ᜔|I DO COMMISSIONS|ᜇᜎᜈ᜔ᜇᜈ᜔
170 wicks to go, actually. :P
What did you want to do about Laconic.Climate Change? Both it and Global Warming have independent laconics.
Edited to add: Never mind. It looks like it was cut just as I asked the question. :P
Edited by Wyldchyld If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.
Why is Global Warning a redirect? What's that even supposed to mean? Nobody says that.
It has 0 wicks and a measly 54 inbounds. I say just cut this one.
I've sent it to the Cut List, citing this ATT.

Bump. Anyone wanna still help revert the links more?
I still do think most of these wicks are potholes.

Bump. Had PM'd ~Walk In Shadows, ~Willowleaf 24, ~Clancy Gardener, ~Under Cover Sailsman, and ~Laundry Pizza 03 on this.

You may want to start a Short Term Projects thread for this. Not only do pings not work in Ask The Tropers, this isn't the best place for organizing a cleanup.

^ There's already a thread here.
Ah, that. I have pinged them to that thread.

Moving stuff like that is bad, but I like the Climate Change more
^ Well, it needs to head over to TRS before renaming it first.
At any case bumping this because there are still 126 wicks on there. They all need to be re-wicked before we could start a TRS first.

AHI-3000 seems to have unilaterally moved Global Warming to Climate Change (previously a redirect) in December 2020 without even leaving an edit reason. Shouldn't this have been discussed?
