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

I think a unilateral change notifier would be merited here due to these changes probably not having consensus behind them. They haven't received any.
I got a rock for Halloween.I'm confused. None of these were showing up as wicks when I looked at them. I saw two spellings in the text on the page, "K-Pop" (without a hyphen) and "K-Pop", so I Googled to find which was correct and used by actual fans of the genre, and "K-pop" was on Wikipedia, so I made them all that.
Going through the link, I see that's the spelling on the page here about K-pop, too.
I would appreciate you following the "don't be a dick" rule by not assuming bad faith and calling it a "weird wonky/bizarre reason". That's obviously not polite, especially when you don't know what happened.
Edited by NOYBK-Pop is a wick though. Nothing was "incorrect"; as you can see, KPop turns into K-Pop the link.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallFor some reason, it wasn't showing up that way for me. I only saw "KPop". And Wikipedia (and the page about the music genre on this wiki) had the p lower-case, so I made it consistent. It was a minor bit of cleanup, not something I was invested in or expecting would start a thread. I'd be happy to make them into wicks. And now I have.
Edited by NOYBWell, yeah; that's how the wick looks on the editing screen.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallFor future reference, Wikipedia is not the ultimate arbiter of how to capitalize a genre name.
Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.I'll go by whatever the consensus is, because I don't care that much, but I would venture that the lower-case is just the normal language usage because "pop" itself isn't capitalized (except at the beginning of a sentence), nor are "rock", "swing", "jazz", "country", "classical", "disco", "hip-hop," "rap", etc. The "K" is only capitalized because it stands for "Korean", a proper name; there's no reason to carry that over to the "p". Also, popularity-of-usage-wise, it was lower-case in the vast majority of my top 66 Google results (and, again, on the page about it here).
Edited by NOYBHonestly, I don't really care whether it's capitalized either, it was your edit reason and removing the wicks that baffled me. We're not Wikipedia, like the mod said.
Edited by StarSword Trust me, I'm an engineer!

On Star Trek: Strange New Worlds S2E09 "Subspace Rhapsody", NOYB for some bizarre reason decided to change all instances of "K-Pop", including wicks to K-Pop, to "K-pop" with edit reason "spelling from Wikipedia".
