I assume that you\\\'re new to TV Tropes, but \\\"This Article is checked out until 06:56 by <troper>\\\" means that somebody else is editing the page. There\\\'s a 20-minute edit lock to prevent others from editing the page while someone is busy with it... so wait at least until they\\\'re done (or if they go back to the previous page without making edits anyway, it\\\'s also common).

Sometimes, edits don\\\'t get saved when you\\\'re taking too long to edit a page on this website (past the 20-minute edit lock). When the Edit page says \\\"Lock has expired\\\", other tropers might accidentally overwrite your edits if you don\\\'t publish fast enough. I had that happen to some of my edits before. It\\\'s better to retry and edit the page again if that happens, there\\\'s no easy way to recover lost edits.

BTW, it\\\'s nice to have a new editor for \\\'\\\'Genshin\\\'\\\' in this site, and thanks for adding stuff and correcting grammar issues that we may have overlooked. However, I noticed that you\\\'ve been deleting a lot of tropes here lately. Although I admit that some of those deletions were valid (e.g. the character-specific tropes go to character folders), It\\\'s a kind gesture to provide explanations/Edit Reasons when we\\\'re deleting tropes (preferrably one reason for each deleted example). It\\\'s possible that they might get contested if there\\\'s no Edit Reason.

For example, I would like to ask why you deleted these tropes... Because I personally added most of them and think that they apply... Yet they were deleted without specific Edit Reasons.

* PartyInMyPocket: Though you can only have one character active at a time, you can instantly switch (with a very brief delay between swaps, about one second) between the 4 in your party, replacing the active one at the same exact location. Frequent tag-teaming is essential for efficient combat, since it lets you do elemental combos, drop attacking familiars with one character while tanking with another, pull out a healer when the lead fighters are taking too much damage, etc.
* PunctuationShaker: Khaenri\\\'ah is the region in Teyvat where Kaeya originates from.
* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming:
** In the Mondstadt market district, there\\\'s an NPC named [[Literature/TheBible Nimrod]].
** Rhodeia of Loch, the Oceanid, takes its namesake from the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Oceanids Oceanids]] of the Classical Mythology.
* TrailersAlwaysSpoil:
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAlKhARUcoY \\\"Teyvat Chapter Preview: Travail\\\"]] contains [[CharacterNarrator narrations]] by Dainsleif, somehow summarizing even the Acts or Chapters that are yet to be added in \\\'\\\'Genshin Impact\\\'\\\'. More specifically, he is describing the Archons and their respective relationships with their regions.
* GratuitousFrench:
** One of the seven nations in Teyvat is called \\\"Fontaine\\\", which is the French word for \\\"fountain\\\".
** There\\\'s an Artifact Set labeled \\\"Noblesse Oblige\\\", from a French phrase that means \\\"nobility obliges\\\".
* GratuitousGerman:
** The first city that you visit is named Mondstadt, which means \\\"moon city\\\" in German.
** The boss of the Wangshu Inn is named \\\"Verr Goldet\\\". In German, \\\"vergoldet\\\" means \\\"gold-plated\\\".
* GratuitousLatin:
** The names of the in-universe Constellations are usually in Latin, such as Qiqi\\\'s Pristina Nola (\\\"The Ancient Bell\\\"), Keqing\\\'s Trulla Cementarii (\\\"Stonemasons\\\' Small Ladle\\\"), Diona\\\'s Feles (\\\"Cat\\\"), etc.
** Diluc and his father Crepus are respectively named after the Latin words diluculum (\\\"dawn\\\") and crepusculum (\\\"twilight\\\").
* {{Autosave}}: Auto Save is the only save. There is no manual save/load menu: you can only quit the game when you have finished a session, and continue when you log on again. The game doesn\\\'t even tell you when it is auto saving.

I think I\\\'ll be moving this to another trope if you don\\\'t mind, another troper added it and it looks like it\\\'s just misplaced:
* AluminumChristmasTrees: The Waypoints that can be unlocked to fast-travel around Teyvat aren\\\'t just random abstract statues: they\\\'re Vajras, important symbols in both Buddhism and Hinduism.

Can\\\'t say much for some of the deleted tropes (such as BleachedUnderpants and BuffySpeak) though, I wasn\\\'t the one who added those.
