Talk:Cool School

But we should either write pages for, or remove the coding on, the redlinks first.

Two weeks later, no further edits. Launching as-is.

I've checked the TVT history to confirm that someone with your handle created the trope there three months ago. I also noted that every change to that page that wasn't made under your name appears to be a typo or link correction, so I think we can safely call this all your work even if you've just brought over the latest version.

Thank you! Thank you also for actually looking to see how we do things here, and then doing that. You can't believe just how much of a pleasant surprise that is.

You will note, though, that there are more than a few redlinks where the wiki contents have diverged. You may want comment those out until equivalent tropes appear here.

No problem. I didn't want to cause any trouble like I accidentally did there, so I made sure to read the rules.

I'd like to encourage filling in tropes if possible, but I'm not sure how to do so. Is there plans to fill in missing TV Tropes entries with original content? If not, how do we plan to fix the redlinks by putting in those tropes?

We have most if not all of those tropes already - they just have different names because (a) we aren't bound by the limitations of CamelCase and (b) names are case- and punctuation-sensitive. For example, we have "Academy of Evil" instead of "Academy Of Evil", and "All-Ghouls School" instead of "All Ghouls School". Type the first few letters of the trope's name in the search box at the top of the page and you'll get a list of existing page titles that match what you've typed.

FYI, we do realize that this is confusing for refugees from TV Tropes, so we have been willing to include redirects using that name, but if you type that in, you should also see the properly formatted version we use most of the time, we try to use because it looks nicer on the screen.

If the original copyright holders -- like you -- choose to bring over their work that'd be great. Beyond that, well, we're not obsessively monitoring TVT to see what advances they've made in trope classification, and we don't have a list of tropes they've created since the fork that we feel compelled to duplicate here. If it happens by accident (as it has at least once that I know of), cool. But our interests (and relative freedoms) are inevitably taking us in slightly different direction than TVT is going in, and we don't want to shackle ourselves to them and force ourselves to fly in formation with them.

That said, any interesting-looking redlinks should eventually lead to new articles. At least I would hope so.
