All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part VI

[robkelk]

Not sure if this is the correct spot, but figured it wouldn't hurt.

I'm running into a lot of missing images when browsing All The Tropes. Is this a known thing? If not (or even if so), is there a quick way for me to report or flag that entry for y'all?

By "a lot" I mean "more often than not", but obviously that's for the set that I've looked at. I have no idea if that's indicative of all entries or if I just have beta tester's luck

It's a known thing. Those images weren't backed up before Orain was hacked.

I think we're at the point where we should be looking for replacement images instead of trying to find the old images in Google/Yahoo/WaybackMachine/etc. archives - so if you've got one, feel free to upload it! (IANAL, but I think ATT is big enough to fall under the "reference" exemption of copyright; especially considering we're making an honest effort to make ATT a reference work with the "Useful Notes" and "Source" pages. If not, some lawyer will be sure to let us know...)

EDIT: As for your luck in hitting these pages, well... there are http://allthetropes.miraheze.org/wiki/ ... file_links on ATT, but there are http://allthetropes.miraheze.org/wiki/ ... Statistics.
