All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXXIII

[Labster]

Can you tell me more about the work tabs and creator tabs idea?

In favor of icons, mainly because many wikis follow the naming format of "FranchiseName Wiki", and when you have two or more wikis that use that exact format, or barely distinguishable names, it makes a parenthesis required. It's still probably good for accessibility to use parentheses in such cases, but the icons help identify at a glance.

I did another pass and made sure to add alternate wikis where missing from my earlier additions. Sometimes the best wiki is on fandom, and sometimes it’s hosted elsewhere.

In any case, I really like this feature.

Really the "tabs" idea was that I can't come up with a good name for a tracking category.  We have lots of categories that are essentially just what most websites would call a tag (or a hashtag).  These keep the sorts of things like the main pages and its subpages, and sometimes other related works or tropes.  What are these things called?  The sort of categories where {{main}} is the only content?

If someone can answer that question for me, I can get to work removing Index Index and putting something at least marginally useful there.

(Also we use {{main}} very differently than Wikipedia does.)

So I was going over an edit to Barbie (film) just now and I realized that I couldn't find a way to access the very problematic review that it got two years ago. Does the new work template not include reviews any more?

Yeah, sorry I did that and forgot to tell people.  Reviews will show when they are subpages now, and things in the Reviews namespace are orphaned.  Special:AllPages shows you all 30.  The template I made to display them is Template:Review.  There are probably so few of them that it's not even worth trying to make a bot to deal with the formatting.  It probably is worth putting a comment on the boilerplate of "copy-paste this thing into a new review".  Also I think we can use InputBox to maybe preload the template into a new review?

Finally: I turned on Visual Editor in most of the Talk namespaces, so that Discussion Tools would work.  I looked back at our policy discussion, and the end result was: turn of VE in main, but leave it on in the Talk namespaces so that the discussion software would still work.  Replacing Flow (Structured Discussions) with Discussion Tools, I'm saying that I'm still following the original proposal.  (Also there should now be reply buttons on talk pages, which work unless the formatting has a serious Lint error)
