Orphaned/Sandbox/Wiki Changes

Want to know what has changed and what may change in the wiki? Well, here is your one-stop-page for finding that out.

Anyone can add any topic/thread (usually from the one of the "Wiki and Forums" sub-forums) that they think deserves attention from Tropers as a whole as long as they give a description of what the issue is. But do not completely remove anything without an edit reason. Topics should stay on here until a final decision is made.

Recent Changes
Please remove items that are over a month old. No need to keep everything indefinitely.

Format is:


 * MM/DD
 * Change. Thread link.


 * 2012 04/14
 * Cutlocking of Fanfic Recs. No thread -- it was an(other) absolutist decision made by Fast Eddie under the guise of setting them to be examined by a (non-existent) morality committee.
 * 2012 04/16: Fanfic Recs are now back up

Current Crowners
Want to help out, but don't have much time? Just read the description and vote on a "crowner" that interests you.

Format is:


 * Trope or topic: link to forum topic or crowner
 * What the crowner is for/why there is a crowner


 * Weboriginal namespace: thread link
 * It has been determined that the Weboriginal namespace is too diverse at the moment. The question is, what should it be split into?
 * Should there be an Animation/ namespace? thread link
 * Some titles do not fit under the "Eastern vs Western" animation namespaces very well. The question is, do we need another Animation namespace?
 * Battle Royale With Cheese: thread link
 * This is getting a new name. Got any opinions on what it should be?

Changes Being Discussed
If you want to leave your mark on the wiki and have some time, you should visit these threads and help improve the wiki.

And please, don't just say that you disagree with the change being discussed, leave a reason. That helps improve the quality of a discussion/the final decision even more than general agreement.

Format is:


 * ThreadLink name of thread
 * List of
 * things being
 * discussed


 * Content Policy Change, includes subjects as the future morality committee for TV Tropes (evaluation of potentially pornographic / explicit works for inclusion in the wiki).

 * New, shadowed policies on the wiki (as of Apr 11) which go as far as removing entire work pages without any sort of discussion or notification.
