All The Tropes:Things that need fixing

This is a massive list of things that need fixed to make the site fully functional.

Needs manual intervention
Things that will always need done:
 * Category:Pages Needing Wicks
 * Category:Works Needing Tropes
 * Category:Tropes Needing Examples
 * List of Shows That Need Summary -- write a new page
 * Stuff in Category:Stubs
 * Wanted Templates needs to be checked every few weeks to identify and correct miscoded links and other typos that end up looking like templates to the Wiki engine.

Search and potentially restore:
 * Forum:Lost (Censored?) Pages
 * Permanent Red Link Club
 * Restore censored content on TVT pruned and/or allow troping of pages not allowed to be edited where possible and prudent.

Other:
 * Setup YKTTW namespace
 * Trope Workshop still has problems. The "recent changes" and "list of articles sorted by last one to be edited" are redundant with each other, the latter doesn't show the date, and both of them are a click away in contrast with the alphabetical list which is more prominent and visible without a click but is less useful.  Also, there's nothing which shows recently changed articles counting talk pages
 * Other policies need revised fullwise (second level policies now, mostly).
 * Things in Category:Checknamespace need to be returned their proper home, then detagged. PROTIP: Do "What Links Here".
 * Random throwaway references to TVT that can be turned into ATT.
 * Bogus templates which are actually mis- or un-parsed TVT links (see just about everything at the bottom end of Wanted Templates).
 * Continue identifying and renaming pages which should have punctuation in their names. Basically completed, except for a few remaining pages.
 * Things in Special:WhatLinksHere/Home_Page (which includes a redirect from TV Tropes) need to be checked to see if they refer to TVT, and if so, fix that. Fixed links should point to TV Tropes or Main Page
 * Evaluate Tutorial Draft and see if there's anything there that we can use.
 * Move as many index pages to their Category equivalents and provide redirects on the main namespace pages. Largely a manual job, though some pages in indexes are untagged and will need bot intervention.
 * The pages under the Names to Run Away From namespace need to be moved to Names to Run Away From Really Fast; that page needs to point to them.
 * Duplicate files in Special:ListDuplicatedFiles need to be deleted and pages relinked. There are only 42, should be fast.
 * Is it possible to modify tropelist, tropenamer, examples, etc. so that they use the page's DISPLAYTITLE instead of the actual page name?

Possible bot jobs, possible manual

 * Everything on Category:Oldtable needs updated to mediawiki tables, then detagged
 * Everything on Category:Pages with comment tags needs to have:
 * TVT Control Freakery removed
 * Links fixed (an potentially made interwiki in the case of wikipedia), and lines reparsed. (there might be some out there still, but very few if any).
 * About a dozen or two pages have YouTube or other links in comments, excised from the quote markup immediately before them. This was my solution to the template errors they caused, before learning the proper way to fix it.  These need to be undone and properly corrected.
 * Find and fix broken image/caption markups
 * "right"->"frame" for images otherwise properly marked up (mostly done)
 * Merging images with captions caught in a "[[caption-width-right:" markup
 * Images markups that have their final "]" on the line after everything else
 * Category:Broken image markup
 * Extremely large images would be displayed small on TVT automatically. Here the markup needs to be changed to include "thumb".  I don't know if there are still such images.
 * There are. I thumbnail them as I stumble over them.  --Looney Toons (talk) 14:44, 21 August 2014 (BST)
 * Remaining hottip markups need to be located and changed to refs.
 * Category:Hottip markup (decimated by bot to a final 49 pages, needs to be manually fixed from here on).
 * Remove TVT forum links, et al
 * Mis-converted spoiler markups in the form of " [[ spoiler:"; they often (usually?) lack closing brackets.
 * These are pretty much entirely on pages that had stray return characters -- i.e. stuff GethN7 had sent me (Vorticity) from the internet archive for being cut on TVT. If so, I might be able to assemble a list of these pages.
 * Tilde-markup page links (for example, Don't Explain The Joke), left over from TVT's second try at punctuated titles. Fixed mostly, stopped when I realize that it was making some pages worse.
 * Redlinks which are caused by simple capitalization issues need to be found and corrected.
 * Examples templates with the parameter "Examples:" really should have those parameters removed.
 * Find and fix former Wikia pages which have markups instead of.
 * Find and remove all ==Notes== headers left over from before the current version of.

Definite bot jobs

 * Rename unambiguous (Mediatype) labels from work names.
 * Cleanup of some remaining category pages. Definite need of manual intervention as well.
 * Figure out why so many images are going unused on the wiki.
 * See what images we have that are also present on Wikimedia Commons. Delete those files and use Instant Commons links instead.
 * API:Allimages] provides a way to search and retrieve via SHA-1 hash.
 * Delink users that we don't have.

Software installs

 * We can has MultiBoilerplate installed in liek ever?
 * Some sort of web-based IRC client.

Ideas

 * Maybe a haiku template?

Wiki bugs?

 * Some second-level bullets, such as retrocognition on Psychic Powers, do not display. They may display briefly when loading a page.
 * It happens on all levels -- I've seen it everywhere (first-level example on this page: "Find and fix broken image/caption markups" under "Possible Bot Jobs").  I hadn't noticed that it was the same ones each time, though; I'd thought it was essentially random.  --Looney Toons (talk) 14:40, 21 August 2014 (BST)
