Is Fandom Gank ready to go or does it need more work? https://allthetropes.org/wiki/Trope_Workshop:Fandom_Gank

These need some more wiki magic: https://allthetropes.org/wiki/Trope_Workshop:Tongue_Suicide

If it was up to me, I'd launch Fandom Gank. (I just did a quick sweep through it to fix obvious spelling and grammar errors.)

The other two... yeah, needs work.

I'd like to review Fandom Gank before it gets launched -- last time I looked at it, I thought that a lot of the newer examples were just "the ending is weird" and not really "the ending is weird but the creators thought the audience would get it".

I was trying to find more examples that would fit, that shock and confuse the audience (and that the creators didn't see that, the reaction, coming). But I got stuck.

So, what about this one and is it okay?https://allthetropes.org/wiki/Trope_Workshop:Villain-Beating_Artifact#Comic_Books

I'm still thinking about that one. My initial response when I saw it was, "that's a mcguffin" -- but then I realized it was a functional item, where a mcguffin is a thing that just sits there while the plot swirls around it. I'm inclined to think we must have this under another name somewhere, but damn if I know what it is off the bat.

Got it. I even put some weird questions in the Trope talk page, even asking if the "Villain Beating Artifact" needs to be rename?

Too bad I couldn't make a better description. I kept on brainstorming on how do I bring that idea over from Tv Tropes without copyright infringement?

So, is the "Villain Beating Artifact" ready to go? Or what should I do to fix the description and add more examples?

(grabs a bottle of champagne) If it's up to me, launch that bad boy.

And since you haven't started the launch process, six days later... I've started it by posting a similar question on its talk page.

I was thinking about this meme, when I was doing it and thinking of using the old Legend of Zelda pic for it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_dangerous_to_go_alone!

Here's another one. Link: https://allthetropes.org/wiki/Trope_Workshop:Workout_Fanservice#Fan_Works

What about it?

You've posted a zero-context comment - I have no idea how to reply to it.

Sorry, I just posted up a new trope that I need help working on. Okay, later on I'll add my thoughts about what I'm linking.
