Is there somewhere in Writer's Block to promote writing contests? Is that even allowed?
Disambig Needed: Help with those issues! tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13324299140A37493800&page=24#comment-576After the closure at this TRS thread for Our Mermaids Are Different due to a lack of actions requiring the Trope Repair Shop, it was suggested that a cleanup thread be started on Our Monsters Are Different subtropes (and presumably, everything else on Our Tropes Are Different). But I don't see an existing active thread on it...
I'm back!Because the thread closed recently and nobody has done it yet.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessI know it was mentioned on the previous page, but since I'm looking for it too and it's been a few months: Is there a thread for Unpublished Works cleanups? I've noticed a lot of entries that either have no examples or are nothing but ZCEs.
I'm aware that it's less of an issue with Darth Wiki stuff, but perhaps it's still a project worth looking into?
Avatar: Amethio (Pokemon Horizons)I think protocol is to generally leave those alone. They're not held to the normal work page standards, aside from misuse removal for TRS.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessUpdated the pinned post to reflect some recent thread launches and changes. I haven't checked back through the existing ones, just added the new ones.
Added Cut List, Navbox/Floatbox, Wikiword and a few of the most active Character page and Trope-specific cleanup threads.
Alright, thank you! I thought that might be the case, but I just wanted to check to make sure, and I couldn't find an exact policy anywhere. If there is one, however, there's a good chance I just missed it, in which case I apologise!
Avatar: Amethio (Pokemon Horizons)I'm not sure if what I'm looking for is in this particular forum area, but is there a thread for bringing up TLP drafts you're working on to ask others for assistance? I could've sworn there was one.
I found it, I just forgot the name: TLP workstation thread.

No child should have to think of selling medication for food. Are you afraid?Is there a place for discussing Star-Derailing Role / Career Resurrections in the long-term forums? I feel like there’s some examples that don’t fit or are hastily added.
I’m sorry, but you have Stage 9 Animes.Is there a thread for webcomics that have changed their website or URL format? Latchkey Kingdom moved to a new site about a year ago and doesn't have a redirect to the new pages.
Is there a place to discuss the handling of page titles for works without an official translation (preferably, one for manga and adjacent media types)? I'm editing I Got My Wish and Reincarnated as the Villainess (Last Boss)! but I'm not sure whether ateji (see Alternate Character Reading and this Wikipedia article for information) should be a part of the page name.
Scientia et Libertas | Per Aspera ad Astra NovaThere is now a new thread dedicated to handling link rot (aka fixing links to dead websites).
Do we have a cleanup for temperament tropes?
