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.
In some threads, it was mentioned that it should be split. I'm currently moving the examples from the Franchise page -> Comic Book page. The image on the Franchise page should probably be deleted as well, since it better suits the Comic Book page.
That still leaves the descriptions. They need to be made more individual.
Okay, since it's work in progress, we'll see how that come out.
My intention when I proposed the split was to redirect Franchise/ to ComicBook/, which would leave only one page for the comic series itself.
Remember, ComicBook/ is the work page. Creator/ is for the company themselves.
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.
But Archie's is a multimedia work so it fits the "three separate mediums" criteria for a franchise page.
I'll copy the rest of the Franchise examples over to Comic Book page tomorrow, btw.

Franchise/ is for series which have pages for works in three separate media. If no one has created separate pages for the separate works, then we don't make a Franchise page, no matter how many works in how many media might exist.)
(Archie qualifies for a Franchise page by this standard—it has pages for comics, western animation shows, and live action TV shows. I just wanted to be clear about the criteria, because a lot of people seem to be confused on this point.)
Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.
Okay, I just noticed an issue with the pages Franchise.Archie Comics and ComicBook.Archie Comics. Namely, that they have LOTS of redundant content, starting with the picture but including most of the decription and tropes.
Checking the history, the ComicBook/ page was until recently (October 25th) a redirect, before being expanded by editor Piku-chun with the edit reason "Splitting the Franchise page into Creator and Comic Book pages".
Now, that would be relatively warranted if the Franchise/ page had been trimmed in consequence, but that's not the case, resulting in lots of redundant content. Also note that the three pages (Franchise/, ComicBook/ and Creator/) are an index, which seems really superfluous. What corrective moves should be done?
