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 sent them a PM about this thread.
They had reverted the characters page once already
before reverting it again, so I’m pretty sure that this now counts as an edit war.
Whoops, I didn't see this thread. Sorry, I wanted to make a case for why the names shouldn't be "Part 1" and "Part 2". We don't have to use the wiki if 2024 doesn't work. But I really really oppose the concept of 2023 being retroactively titled like this.
Acidic, you reverted the change for a third time. You are edit warring. Stop changing it or you run the risk of getting suspended.
I have to respectfully say that these new names aren't good and shouldn't stick. And the last ATT thread didn't properly convey what we could do about the two new seasons. Just "Part 1 and Part 2" versus "2023 and 2024".
I want a compromise so we're all satisfied while matching the consensus.

It doesn't matter whether you respectfully disagree with it or not. That's what the thread came up with, and they even agreed that there's not really good options if other seasons comes out.
Unilaterally changing it back (like you did three times) is not the way the process works, and it seems like "the consensus" and "the compromise" you want is the way you want it.
The thread didn't come up with it, the thread creator did and primarily just listed those two options. But there's a third. The consensus everywhere literally calls the first season "Island 2023" not 2023 part 1 as that's a horrendous name. If it was the way I wanted it, I would call it 2023 and 2024.
But if that's disagreeable, I was thinking we call the second season TDI (2023) Season 2. That would be logical, non committal to yearly dates and makes sense. I apologize for editing so suddenly.

Everyone in the thread agreed that Part 1 and Part 2 are the best names to help differentiate the seasons, at least for now, and you reverted the character page after Part 1 and Part 2 were added on to the season titles not once, not twice, but three times, and started an edit war in doing so, just because you don’t like those names, despite knowing that these names were agreed upon the latter two times and after the creator of this thread sent you a notifier specifically instructing you to not do that the third time.
While I may not be a mod, I am familiar enough with the TV Tropes rules to know that this kind of behaviour warrants a suspension.
As for the Season 1, Season 2 idea, I think that would be too confusing as the previous season is already also being called Season 6 and Season 7 while the new season is already also being called Season 7 and Season 8, assigning a third season number to each of these seasons would just make things more confusing than they already are.

You specifically pushed for Parts 1 and 2 while making a huge argument against TDI 2024, of course they would agree when you didn't present any other options.
Using this suggestion wouldn't be confusing at all as long as we kept the Total Drama Island (2023) moniker. Everyone calls the Reboot: Total Drama Island 2023. I don't see how TDI 2023 Season 2 is confusing but TDI 2023 Part 2 isn't. Since you think 2024 doesn't work, it'd make more sense to use my secondary idea of TDI 2023 and TDI 2023 - Season 2 as a compromise than the god awful part number names. It looks extremely out of place and bugs me a lot.
It's literally called season 2 in the show, so we have in-universe reasons to consider as well.
Edited by AcidicRafter2
I wouldn’t call the name choices “godawful” when you seem to be the only person who has a problem with them. Anyway, I’m now going to add Part 1 and Part 2 back again, I trust that you won’t revert them a fourth time.
Edited by CorvusIX
I haven't seen any other fan call that Reboot season: Total Drama Island 2023 Part 1, that's just clunky. It makes more sense to use TDI 2023 and TDI 2023 Season 2. It's even referred to as season 2 in the show so why not? I can accept not using 2024 if that logic bugs you.
How about you don't add them back and discuss an agreement instead? Because brushing off me and numerous fans that don't refer to either season in parts is unfair.
Edited by AcidicRafter2
An agreement was already reached, the only reason this is conversation is still going is because the reached agreement wasn’t the one that you wanted. As I’ve already said, these were the names that were agreed on and no one here seems to have a problem with them except you.
Again, there isn't a soul in this fandom referring to the first or second season as "Part 1" or "Part 2". I am absolutely taking the wider fanbase into account here, TV Tropes using parts just pointlessly muddies the waters. I have a problem with it because you never listed my alternative suggestion as an option. You made a discussion point and it consisted of your argument against 2024 in favor of parts. But you didn't discuss the alternative title. That deserves a fair argument and discussion for.
Using TDI 2023 Season 2 won't confuse anyone. Tiktok, Twitter, Discord, Reddit, everywhere is calling it season 2 of TDI 2023. The official show calls it season 2. Work with me here, I'll apologize again for abruptly editing the pages. I'm not familiar with how deciding stuff works around here especially not with Ask the Tropers.

This argument is clearly not going anywhere. At this point the best thing to do is wait for mod input.
I'd prefer to reach an agreement with Corvus than bother the mods, I'll concede that initially trying to call it Total Drama Island 2024 could be needlessly complicated.
Edited by AcidicRafter2
I also think it would be better to wait for mod input since I also don’t see this argument going anywhere, and that should permanently resolve the issue.
Edited by CorvusIX
It would be better to give a fair discussion instead of arguing. I apologized already, I wasn't aware that there was a way to talk about and thoroughly decide these kinds of things.
I never even got a chance to make my case while you got to make yours freely. It's not just my preferences if the show itself and everywhere in the fandom refers to the names I'm using.

I suspended Acidic Rafter 2 from the wiki and queries to nip this in the bud.
Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.
Thanks; seems this will be resolved in EB, then. Locking.

So, despite that this thread
voted to use "Part 1" and "Part 2" to describe the seasons, Acidic Rafter 2 went ahead and changed all the edits back to use the years. I messaged them to tell them that they couldn't do this, but it needs to be brought up here since I had only caught one reversion at the time of sending the notifier when they did it to every relevant page.
