Ask the Tropers:
resolved Potential edit warring on Peter and Company Webcomic
A while back, legendaryweredragon left a red link on the page way back in 2021 on the Peter and Company page that said the following:
"The comic also has a sequel called Peter And Whitney which skips ahead to the characters in their college days after the guardians have left them."
I had decided to hide it due to the fact that I remember reading that red links were frowned upon. I check the page a while later and I see that, without any sort of discussion or atleast an edit note, they undid my edit which I'm pretty sure is considered edit warring given the lack of the former reason. Was there any sort of discussion either on ATT or in PMs with someone apart of admin before this change was made?
Edited by Stardust5099resolved Sinfest Single Issue Wonk Webcomic
Kizor just went and vandalized the main description of Webcomic.Sinfest, after they argued with complaining cleanup thread about a previous edit they made (That was eventually reverted) that added a couple of rants paragraphs calling the webcomic "Nazi bullshit" among other things.
If it isn’t a vandal attempt, then it was a unilateral change. I honestly don’t know.
Edited by PlasmaPowerresolved Creator/MoringMark Page Getting Too Long Webcomic
The Creator Page for MoringMark is getting too long now, and needs to be split up into pages. Problem is, most of the things troped on the page relate to the various fancomics for Gravity Falls, Star vs. the Forces of Evil, and The Owl House, and while some of them do have specific names or series to them, those ones already have their own pages, with the ones on the creator page itself referring to various miscellaneous comics that, while stand alone, are largely connected in a sort of narrative that isn't definitively named.
So, how exactly should the page be split up, what namespaces should be used, should all of the series get their own pages or should only the largest one, The Owl House, get one, etc.
Edited by RebelFalconresolved Correctly Inputting A Work Webcomic
I'm adding an entry to https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/BecomingTheMask/FanWorks and am reading how to edit, but I am still have trouble grasping the linking and spoiler codes. Also, do fan work comics go under Fan Works or Web Comics?
Here is the current text, spoilers ahead.
- In * the short comicBecoming The Facade, by 'Rated-R-PonyStar, two changelings stealthily take out and assume the lives as two royal guards. One of the guards has a family, and the changeling develops a genuine attachment. Unfortunately, he successfully procreates with his "wife", and the other changeling slaughters the family before he can do anything to act on his newfound love. The [[Pun changed changing kills his companion. He is implied to have revealed himself in a [1] as he attends the funeral.]]
resolved Page ownership issues. Webcomic
Canker Toon deleted this entry from the Art Shift page, referencing that they were the creator and they don't want this to be mentioned anymore.
This may be a violation of The Fic May Be Yours, but the Trope Page Is Ours, but I just want to be sure. Also, I may have seen them before on ATT, but I'm not sure.
EDIT: It seems like most of their edits have been reverted, but the Art Shift entry is the one I've seen that hasn't been reverted yet.
Edited by YuriHaru567resolved Thinking about moving a page Webcomic
A while back I created the page for DNA. I think it needs to be moved because their are some unrelated works with the same name that also have pages. Although I am not sure what to move it to. Also I have never moved a page before. I was thinking of moving it to WebComic/DNATheWebComic. Is there being works pages with the same name for unrelated works a good reason to move it? And if so, what should I move it to?
Edited by legendaryweredragon
Trope summary: most of the cast in a work is being affected by something, except for one... because they're a robot.
So: Schlock of Schlock Mercenary is descended from self-repairing computer memory/storage units. One storyline had the crew finding out some politically sensitive information, and having their memories modified as a result. Schlock was able to bypass this by using his 'biology' to make a backup of his real memories, and restoring them later.
