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

Yeah, I don't know how long it takes for pinball machines to go from beginning manufacturing to shipping sales, but I'd be kinda surprised if it was less than a month.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.Usually, it takes about a month for the games to start actually arriving to consumers (be they public venues or home owners).
At this point, I'm leaning towards indexing it as a 2020 release (possibly with a note that, while there may have been a couple of machines that made it to people the year before, the vast majority were manufactured and shipped in The New '20s).
Pinball cleanup threadIt makes sense to me; I feel like this is similar to a work released in Europe at 12:01am on Jan 1, but then released an hour later in North America (which is the previous day/month/year/potentially decade).
Link to TRS threads in project mode here.If no one has any objections, I will go ahead and perform the move in about a day or so.
Pinball cleanup threadGiving this a (very) belated bump for the sake of closure: I removed Stranger Things from Pinball of the 2010s and have requested it be placed on The New '20s on the Locked Pages editing thread.
Pinball cleanup thread

When I created Pinball.Stranger Things last year, I indexed it under The New '10s because it was revealed in December 2019, with at least outside forum post noting that someone had received a machine before 2020 began. Now, however, I find myself wondering if I should categorize and index it as a 2020 release instead, as the vast majority of machines were manufactured and released that year. (Long story short: there are three different versions of the game, all of which entered production at different times. The Internet Pinball Database lists the Pro model
as beginning manufacturing in December 2019, though the Premium
and Limited
models started in early 2020. In addition, the TWIPYs - the most prominent pinball awards show as of present - listed it among other 2020 pinball games for their most recent ceremony
.)
