Cleaning up the "admins" tag

6
Robkelk (talkcontribs)

There are a lot of people named in the {{admins}} tag who don't appear to be actively administrating the wiki right now. There's no point in filling your inboxes if you aren't reading the messages.

Please reply here, saying whether you want to stay on the list. I'm posting this on February 6 -- if I don't see a reply from you before February 15, I'll assume that you do not want to continue being pinged about admin business.

@Labster @Looney Toons @GethN7 @Robkelk @QuestionableSanity @Derivative @SelfCloak

Robkelk (talkcontribs)

Replying to myself, for completeness. Please keep my name on the list.

GethN7 (talkcontribs)

Same. If you aren't active and no longer wish to be or simply do not respond within a reasonable amount of time, I'm in favor of quietly removing the mod hat until such time as you can resume active service.

Looney Toons (talkcontribs)

Please keep my name on the list, as well. And I second Geth's suggestion.

Robkelk (talkcontribs)

Agreeing with Geth's suggestion.

Summary by Robkelk

The changes included copyright violations, so no.

HDev411 (talkcontribs)

Made today 21/7. I didn't add new tropes or hopefully no copyright violations. Thanks!

Robkelk (talkcontribs)

We've already told you: Please be patient.

Because you are not listening, you're now at the bottom of my priority list. Maybe somebody else will approve your changes before I see them.

HDev411 (talkcontribs)

Ok

Looney Toons (talkcontribs)

@RobKelk: HDev411 is responsible for several incidents of copyright violation -- postdating your warning to him about copyrights -- which I have had to reject or correct. Do not approve anything of his without explicitly checking it against TV Tropes.

Robkelk (talkcontribs)

Understood, and thank you for the information.

Summary by Robkelk

Problem existed between keyboard and chair. Fixed.

Umbire the Phantom (talkcontribs)

Appear to have made some mistakes while replacing potholes, it's an easy enough fix but what happened?

Robkelk (talkcontribs)

I thought I caught all of those before I saved the update... Sometimes my hand brushes against my laptop's trackpad as I'm typing, and the cursor jumps a bit.

Umbire the Phantom (talkcontribs)

Oh relatable.

Requesting temporary rollbacker for User:Agent Isai

Summary by Robkelk

Rights were granted for one week, for troubleshooting purposes

Dmehus (talkcontribs)

Hi Robkelk, would you be able to do me a small favour and grant Agent Isai temporary rollbacker permissions, so he can view the moderation queue for the pending edits by Thistroperz? A day or two should do the trick. He is also a member of the SRE team

Robkelk (talkcontribs)

Thanks!

Regarding one of the Princess Principle tropes...

2
Summary by Robkelk

The trope was identified as Because I'm Jonesy

Looney Toons (talkcontribs)

During one of the picture dramas, Beatrice impersonated Ange while calling Princess so that Beatrice could find out whether Princess thought Beatrice was a liability to the team - not knowing Ange was standing beside Princess at the time. Princess played along.

Could this be a case of Because I'm Jonesy?

The other struck me as being a basic ulterior motive, but we don't seem to have a trope for that.

Robkelk (talkcontribs)

It could! Let's add that back in, with the trope identified.

EDIT: We're pretty close to launching this - the only thing stopping that is the fact that Dorothy, Ange, and Princess don't have individual writeups yet. (I just gave Gazelle a writeup.) I'm tempted to launch without them, and hang {{Characters need descriptions}} on the characters subpage...

Are there any special requirements for having a userpage?

Summary by Robkelk

You get a user page automatically when you create an account.

Bauerbach (talkcontribs)

I came here after getting kicked off of TV Tropes back in 2017. IIRC you need 3 successful page launches or something on there. I know All The Tropes wants to be different, but is there anything I need to have done before I can have a userpage?

Robkelk (talkcontribs)

You get a user page when you create your account. Yours is here.

As to what you put on your page... please don't get us in trouble with the law, insult other tropers, or run ads. Other than that, well, it's your page.

Bauerbach (talkcontribs)

OK, thanks!

Testing something, nothing to see here

4
Summary by Robkelk

Test failed.

Robkelk (talkcontribs)

And of course I can't preview the test.

First, the page name: Wn4fz55iuamwacnt

Robkelk (talkcontribs)

Okay, that won't work - "PAGENAME" gave the thread name instead of the page name.

Maybe the root page name: Wn4fz55iuamwacnt

Robkelk (talkcontribs)

Still the thread name. Have I mentioned today that Flow sucks?

Top level page, maybe? Topic:Wn4fz55iuamwacnt

Robkelk (talkcontribs)

Once again, the thread name. Flow breaks magic words... which means I can't make that template after all. Aargh.

Manga by decade. About Bleach.

Other Tropers are not authorized to close threads on this Moderator's talk page. Please do not do that again.

HLIAA14YOG (talkcontribs)

The "manga by decade" super-category specifies "were created" as way of classify mangas by decade. You included Bleach in "manga of the 2010s" category, I presume because it kept running in the 2010s, but it was created in 2001.

I want to remove it, but I want your opinion, and, if you so desire, if we should discuss possibly changing the category requirements. I just want to avoid an unnecessary edit war.

Of course, if you think the rule is okay as it is, I'll just remove Bleach from the category and be done with this.

Robkelk (talkcontribs)

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. The supercategory should say "were published", not "were created", in order to be consistent with the other supercategories.

Both "Manga of the 2000s" and "Manga of the 2010s" belong on Bleach. If it's still being published in Japan, add "Manga of the 2020s" as well.

Umbire the Phantom (talkcontribs)

I'd think you could just add "Manga of the 2000s" as a category, rather than remove anything.

Lequinni (talkcontribs)

Just add the category of "Manga of the 2000s", in this cass is better adding than substracting

Hey. I noticed how you changed the work name in that Trope from "How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord" to "How not to Summon a Demon Lord"


I wanted to point out that in the English dub of the Light Novel and Anime, the actual title does indeed have the word "not" in all caps.


https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=20582


See?

Robkelk (talkcontribs)

Interesting, because Wikipedia doesn't have it in all caps. w:How Not to Summon a Demon Lord

Tie-breaking round! What does Crunchyroll say? (I don't have an account, so I can't check myself.)

Was wondering if you could respond to this still outstanding issue
