Some things I've been doing while cleaning up that I'd like to mention in the hopes that they can be standardized a bit because they drive me crazy:

  • I understand that cc! and c! can be a little contentious given they're hard to understand to outsiders, but I feel that on our pages, where they are frequently used in direct quotes from streamers, they are fine to use and should be because repeating "_ the content creator" constantly just flows horribly and is a pain to read.
  • Friend and Michael should be capitalized as such. I know their nametags aren't, but it's near impossible to parse a sentence where Friend's name isn't capitalized.
  • Tales from the SMP, from is not capitalized in titles.
  • We don't need a dash in revive book. It also doesn't need to be capitalized.
  • Random things on the server and in Minecraft don't need to be capitalized.
  • Afterlife is not a proper noun. It does not need to be capitalized. Same with exile unless you are specifically referring to Exile Arc, which is two words.

The inconsistent spelling of L'Manberg also makes pages painful to read but I doubt we're ever figuring that mess out so maybe we just have to live with it forever, IDK.

I might have forgotten some things, but these are the main ones I've been noticing.

L'Manberg/L'Manburg's spelling in itself is canonically inconsistent, so I don't really have anything to say about that.

The "the content creator" parts are only because TV Tropes hates "character tags" like "[trait]![character]", so I'm not sure how much that applies to the MCYT fandoms. I've changed it up on the Trivia page now.

I think we should avoid them on crosswicked examples but on our own pages where they're already in use in quotes all over I think they should be fine

Brought up on ATT my concerns that we may need a short term cleanup thread.

I feel like we should start up the Fan Works sub-page again, and perhaps add individual pages for prominent fandom content creators like SAD-ist, Derivakat, Precious Jewel Amor, etc. because I feel that they deserve the credit. Is there a reason why the initial Fan Works sub-page was removed again?

I know there's no "correct" spelling of L'Manburg (there's technically 4 variations), but the spelling on the page is inconsistent. Is this actually a problem, or is it a non-issue?

In all honesty, it gets annoying sometimes without a uniform spelling, but it would then also apply to practically every other page on TV Tropes regarding the SMP... so no, maybe making the spelling uniform isn't the way to go. It's too impractical to go through every single page to do this. So I'll mark this down as a non-issue.

Hold on, Technoblade definitely was not THE traitor. He had no preplanned intentions of attacking Pogtopia, but when he saw them forming a government directly in front of him, he attacked anyways. Not saying that Techno didn't betray them, but he definitely wasn't THE traitor, as his attack wasn't pre-planned. It was Wilbur, who dream admitted he had a deal with to blow up L'manburg no matter who won the war. Wilbur was just tryna get Philza to start shit.

HELP! I removed spoilers from the Analysis page, not realising that was meant to prevent triggers!
