This is our "consider killing it" threshold. If anyone wants to finish whipping it into shape for launching, do it now or it dies in a little bit.

Jade Shauni (talkcontribs)

So, what happens to those tropes that are killed?

Looney Toons (talkcontribs)

The page gets deleted - it's that simple. If someone complains about it being deleted, we will of course restore the page, on the condition that the complainer takes responsibility for making the page ready for launch in the immediate future. (Strangely, we've never had anyone take us up on that although the offer has been made.)

So, how do I make the BoT presentable for launch? I barely started adding examples.

Looney Toons (talkcontribs)

Well, two threads below this one is a discussion entitled "retcons" with some points @TBeholder thought needed addressing. There's also the issue of a better name, also brought up by TBeholder.

And I would probably take the three archetype names out of header markup (the "=" stuff) and set them up with bold and big tagging instead, just so that the table of contents moves under the examples template and lists only the media types. But that's one of my particular obsessions for page layout, not necessarily yours.

TBeholder (talkcontribs)

This may improve the situation.

It gots a potential, in that there clearly is traceable evidence of something derived from something else. But also a mess, in part due to referring to a larger and older mess.

Jade Shauni (talkcontribs)

I went to WM and salvaged the examples, which I figure needs more work. But they're all that I found.

TBeholder (talkcontribs)

I did rename and tweak the structure. Since it was not moving much anywhere, this avoids a Missing Supertrope and no one objected.

Looney Toons (talkcontribs)

Are you able to see the Trope Workshop? It's still 500 for me.

TBeholder (talkcontribs)

No, but pages are still here.

Looney Toons (talkcontribs)

Oh, cool, I hadn't realized. Thanks.

Jade Shauni (talkcontribs)

Ah, I didn't check. I thought the Workshop pages went into limbo. Thanks.

Looney Toons (talkcontribs)

The fact that we were replying on a Workshop page's Talk page should have clued us in.
