Digitalpotato: I'm surprised there is no Tainted By The Fanbase troper tales.


Avoid Anecdotes launched as Troper Tales: From YKTTW

Wulf- Before I go around deleting the links all willy-nilly, is there any particular reason several items seem to have duplicates?

FastFingers - Ask these guys. I've actually tried editing it, and a message claims it's an auto-index, so it's a programming issue.

Sceboal: Something seems to be wrong with the Troper Tales for tropes that have puncuated titles.


Does anyone think we should have villainousbreakdown?
Haven: For completeness.
Ack Sed: We've created an image board monster!

Ununnilium: Thank you. Thank you thank you thank you thank you. <3


Lord TNK: I'd like to add Fur and Loathing and Total Party Kill. How would I add those?

Ack Sed: Url editing,I think — take http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FurAndLoathing and change it to http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/TroperTales/FurAndLoathing,load and create as normal. Then insert it into the index with TroperTales/FurAndLoathing.

Freezair For A Limited Time: Just writing the link TroperTales/FurAndLoathing into the page will link you to Fur And Loathing too.


Rissa: I'm having trouble creating new Troper Tales pages for punctuated titles. See Sammy's Glass Eye for the horrible mess that resulted when I tried it. Is there a way to make this work?

Freezair For A Limited Time: ...I don't see a horrible mess. I see an ordinary page. What do you think yo did wrong?

Rissa: Sorry, should have been more specific. The page looks right but when you go to the main page for Sammy's Glass Eye, it doesn't have a 'Has Troper Tales' link.

Janitor: Ah. That's not you. That's a bug in punctuated title handling. A fix will be along a little later today.


Cliché: We seriously need a Troper Tales for You Suck. If anything, it would be nice to deflate tropers' egos.
  • Screw it, I just started it.

It seems like some people are adding their own works in the troper tales, should these go in the main tropes or stay there?
Rissa: The commented-out redlinks are still appearing in indexes. See Pardon My Klingon - it links to Parental Incest. I'm guessing that wasn't intended.
Computer Sherpa: Long list is loooooong! Any ideas for how to organize this thing?
Avatar Zero: Since "The Vodka..."etc. is a phrase that begins with "The", shouldn't it be in the T section? It looks strange written as "Vodka Is Good But The Meat Is Rotten, The". It's not like "Vodka Is Good But The Meat Is Rotten" is a thing and this is the definite article.
Green-Stapler: I may just be uninformed of something, but could someone please tell me why all the troper tales pages seem to have taken a lovely shade of brown?

Freezair For A Limited Time: It stemmed from a forum discussion; it's to differentiate them from the main wiki (like we did with Sugar Wiki and Darth Wiki). ...Actually, I think this color scheme is nicer than the one the main wiki's got goin' on.

Meems: I'm finding the new colour scheme very hard to read. Can we have a different one?

SonicPanther: Oh, come on. Does everyone on this wiki have trouble reading anything but black on white?

Dark Insanity 13: Unpleasable Fanbase. Oh god I'm doing it on here too!

greatPikminfan: Why doesn't the home page for TT have this color scheme?


Radioactive Zombie: Hmm. The links appear to be screwy. Anyone able to fix this?

Green-Stapler: To be more specific, look in the middle of the t section. There is a large amount of redlinks.

Skadi: They all re-direct to the main page. Since this page is auto-indexed.... How to fix, experienced, people?

Yin: can we leave out the discussion for the TT pages from the index? either that or add links to them. It's a pain clicking to the next page and then having to go back to the index to move on.

Yin again: Knock out the redirects for troper tales. it messes up the reading order.


Trogga: Do Natter and Justifying Edits belong in Troper Tales?

Crazyrabbits: Well, it is composed of personal stories. That said, I've read some of the entries, and they disturb and impress me simultaneously. Good work.


Pinkbaron: I'd like to have Big-Lipped Alligator Moment to the index, please.
Bonsai Forest: Since the articles have pictures to go with them, would it be appropriate to put any pictures to go with Troper Tales entries? Or would it be either inappropriate, or redundant (since most people reach Troper Tales via the main entry anyway)?
Keltik: I was sure there used to be an Ill Girl TT page. What happened to it?

Janitor: There is no record of it having been deleted, and there would be.
