All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part II
 
#21
Alright, this will be a long post, so bear with me, but I had two things I had in mind to improve the site.

First, our Trope/work templates are a little dull, and I had a plan to fix that:

http://tropes.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Subpages

http://tropes.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Trope_Subpages

As you can see from these two pages on the Tropes Mirror Wiki, I spruced up the icons, mostly with things available from Wikimedia Commons, though I'm open to suggestions. Also, you might notice I stuck the icons beside the links: I did this because the way it's done on TVT it's impossible tell if something has a page unless you click on the link, and I'm of the school of thought red links are a challenge to turn them blue (okay, some red links will never be blue for certain reasons, but you get the idea).

If anyone has ideas for livening up the templates on ATT, I'm all ears.

Another thing I need to ask is: Do we want to keep Tropers Tales pages around? We have them included in the massive database upload we did (most of them, at any rate), and me personally, I'm in favor of getting rid of them for several reasons:

* They are low hanging fruit for trolls - I've read the mock threads on SA and on other sites, and Tropers Tales are a magnet for every douche on the internet to mock, and I asked the Wikia staff to remove them from the TMW because I didn't want the hassle.

* They will be a pain to clean up - They have a ton of links to troper names that are not users on All The Tropes, and removing the red links will be really aggravating at best, and purging them all will clean up a ton of red links.

* I don't think we really want to get back to those - One of the reasons Tv Tropes caught heat for having horrible people was because some of the Tropers Tales started edging into creepy and unsavory territory, and even if we did keep them around, they would need incredibly strict policing to keep out of the gutter, and I'm cynical at best about that being possible.

Anyway, that's my two cents. Given how important these issues are, especially the latter, I would like some opinions before I or any other admin considers what action needs be taken.
