Unilateral Changes Cleanup

Go To

On this wiki, we like to operate by consensus. Big moves and changes need community discussion, at least to a degree. However, some tropers like to do things solo...and leave a trail of messes behind for the rest of us.

This is a thread for the community to tackle these issues together. We can ping tropers over, clean up/revert changes, and in general, make sure massive alterations don't occur in secret.

As was stated on the ATT, it was done with consensus and discussion. and none of the Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons edits need to be reverted. All I forgot to do was leave that in the initial edit reason when I broke the page down. It's now been documented in the history.

I'm sorry, I didn't know about this discussion.

I still want to partially revert your edit on Creator.Natsume, since the company didn't develop the new Harvest Moon games, they only published them.

They also only published the ones by Marvelous, they didn't develop them. They still own the name, and are the major marketers of the games. There's nothing improper about my edit. I listed the new games that they themselves are the driving force behind.

ETA: It's their IP, so they ought to have the games listed there. See this article from their side: here that is on the Harvest Moon page.

I don't want to remove the games completely, just to move them from the "developed by" section back to the "published by" section.

We've now got a brand new thread dedicated to navboxes and Float Boxes.

That doesn't automatically put those queries off-topic here, but by the same token we might want to move some of that discussion there.

[up][up]It's now been corrected to specify that the developer is Appci, but they're published under Natsume who owns the name. Hopefully that solves the problem.

(it's the same as Mario & Luigi being developed by AlphaDream but published by Nintendo.)

Back in June last year, it was brought up here that the definition of Captain Space, Defender of Earth! had been unilaterally broadened. Apparently, the trope was originally defined rather narrowly, described as a Dead Unicorn Trope, but after the re-definition the trope was no longer that. To make it worse, the Dead Unicorn Trope page still describes the old definition, and lists some non-examples which are now examples.

It seems that the discussion in June never led to any action. I noticed the state of things last week and posted in this ATT thread, which directed me over here.

I've never been involved in this kind of cleanup before, so I'm unsure of the procedure. It seems to me that the trope should either be brought to TSR or reverted to the old definition. So, where do we go from here?

Anime.The Wizard Of Oz was moved to Anime.The Wizard Of Oz 1982 without any known consensus, but done in a way that removes the past history of the page. I've requested a cut so the page can have a full move.
