I had a teeny tiny bit of spare time last
night, and wrote a bot that takes the renames list and distributes it
out to all the pages. And, while I'm there, it does:
* Get rid of [[Category:Trope] if {{trope}} exists * Does basic addition of {{tropelist}} if the page matches "This ? provides examples of:" * {{examples|Examples}} is turned into plain {{examples}}
* Pages with markup get [[Category
ages with comment tags] for further cleanup
This
is gonna take a long time, though. It's been running for 12 hours, and
I'm on entry 314 of 4400. It should get exponentially faster by fixing
pages along the way, but wow, slow.
Other than that, the "hover to reveal spoilers" thing finally works as a gadget. All the cron jobs didn't run while the admins were away for Christmas, which resulted in the CSS cache never getting updated. I should figure out a "show all spoilers" option and "show all spoilers this page" option shortly enough.
Bob added the stub templates, but we also have older categories like Pages Needing Wicks and Works Needing Tropes. Do we just want to replace all of those with the work stub and trope stub categories, or should there be something separate for pages whose descriptions suck?
As usual, the answer for Example Sectionectomy is "refactor entirely". The bigger issue there I see is what about all of those pages that had all of their examples removed. Should we allow examples there again?
There seem to be multiple categories of sectionectomies. Lolicon and shotacon are character types or genres or something, and were only prudepurged. Some other tropes are entirely subjective, like Award Snub or Album Filler, and would probably just accrue Fan Wank. And then there's stuff like Baka, which I've seen used as a trope but is theoretically only a term, or The Untwist which seems like it maybe examples could be ok?
We'd still need to keep a list of those pages around, somewhere. Also, someone needs to go look into Permanent Red Link club, and see if there's anything there we need to resurrect.
