Your mama may have had eyes in the back of her head, but our admin team just can't see everything at once. It takes a village to make sure TVTropes is running the way it should, so when it comes to spotting tech snafus, dreaming up a better digital mousetrap, or just diagnosing plain old asshattery, the quicker you let us know something's up, the quicker we can address it. See a bug? Point to it and we'll squash it. Have idea for a new feature? Post in the Tech Wishlist.
NOTE: Do not post duplicate bug queries, please check existing queries to see if your issue has already been reported and then comment on it.
Could be in the discards somewhere; I'm not sure how the trope-name thing works.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallSearching "site:tvtropes.org playersexual" doesn't turn up any discarded drafts, though it might just not be indexed.
e: A quick test shows that discarded drafts do block new drafts with the same name, at least.
Edited by wingedcatgirl Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.Yep, can confirm. This happened to me with this draft
, which I remade since the old one wouldn't edit properly. Renaming the discarded one
to something else worked.
^ Now that you mention it, I do too. It was weird and managed to be both objective and subjective at the same time.
Maybe start the new draft as "Player-Sexual" or something and then change it after? Once a draft is created, the same-title-thing doesn't happen.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallIn that case, I guess this technically isn't a bug. To the wishlist, then.
Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.Found it. Gonna add Nuked tag.

^ Don't think that's it. The one I remember was more detailed.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper Wall... And I still can't create it, despite the nuked draft ^^ being renamed.
Edited by wingedcatgirl Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.Yeah, because there's more than one of them... try "Player Sexual" or something.

Attempting to create a TLP draft titled "Playersexual" fails with the error message "That working trope name and namespace is already in use." However, there does not appear to actually be, or ever have been, any existing draft by that title.
