... in the "fear demon" episode of BTVS? I can't remember for sure, though.

Goo Monster (talkcontribs)

BTVS? I don't know what that is.

Ah, well I haven't watched that, so I wouldn't know.

Looney Toons (talkcontribs)

That wasn't a recent reply, btw -- I just edited the link in a three-year-old post.

This should not have been launched

Many examples were illiterate sentence fragments, work names were missing both link and italics markup, work and character names were misspelled (including "Scrooge", how can you misspell "Scrooge"?), there were no additional categories beyond the default ones, the trope workshop template was not removed. This page was a monstrous mess. I am trying to fix it now, but every time I think I've got everything, I find something more.

EDIT: Do NOT leave a redirect in the Trope Workshop when you launch. Also, if you launch a trope, it is incumbent upon you to create the category page for it. God, what a mess.

Goo Monster (talkcontribs)

Sorry. Should we move it back?

Looney Toons (talkcontribs)

No, I've already spent a fair amount of time cleaning it up.

Jade Shauni (talkcontribs)

Sorry, I'll try and clean up some of my mistakes, typos happen a lot when I'm rushing/ typing too fast and don't proof read my stuff.

Jade Shauni (talkcontribs)

Does it look good now?

Goo Monster (talkcontribs)

I am not satisfied with the current name.

TBeholder (talkcontribs)

No doors, no windows?

Goo Monster (talkcontribs)

I want one that fits both variants of the trope, if possible.

Goo Monster (talkcontribs)

Ooh how about: "One-way Entrance"?

TBeholder (talkcontribs)

"No Exit, At All"?

Looney Toons (talkcontribs)

"No Way Out"

Looney Toons (talkcontribs)

Oh, and while we're at it, get rid of that period at the end of the name.

Goo Monster (talkcontribs)

I'm fine with making sure that whatever we settle with doesn't have a period at the end. But I think we should wait and only change it once.

Goo Monster (talkcontribs)

So are any of these satisfactory or do we still need more suggestions? I like "One-way Entrance".

Jade Shauni (talkcontribs)

How about "Now There's A Wall?" or "The Wall Replaced Them?"

Goo Monster (talkcontribs)

The reason I like One-way Entrance is I think it covers both versions of the trope. I probably won't get on board with any suggestion that fails to do that.

Jade Shauni (talkcontribs)

I won't be able to top the other suggestions, like "One-Way Entrance", "No Exit at All?" and such.

Goo Monster (talkcontribs)

Jade Shauni fleshed out the example section quite a bit. So I think it's ready to launch. Any objections?

Looney Toons (talkcontribs)

It still needs a better name.

Jade Shauni (talkcontribs)

Would "The Cube" qualify?

According to the film's trope page, the protagonist has no way out of the cube, but other people can enter and leave. It also doesn't seem to be a haunted locale.

Goo Monster (talkcontribs)

Haven't seen it, but I think possibly no.
