Story Tropes

[facetofcathy]

I posted my ideas for the story tropes page on the Fanlore Sandbox.  Have a look, make changes or comments as you like, and if we can agree on a new structure for the page, we can then discuss potential name changes.  The original story trope discussion in this community is here.

I would prefer comments be consolidated on Fanlore itself for this, as this is primarily a discussion of coding the new arrangement.  I will be around later today to see what ideas people have, but anyone is welcome to go and rework the page--we can always use the history tab to look at previous versions.

Am composing new entry for this comm, so other people can throw brainstormy ideas or motivation at me.

The problem isn't so much the time it takes the template pages to load, as the time it takes to find them. I'm not going to download all several dozen (hundreds?) of templates, especially since if I lose the original folder/link structure, then they're just loose HTML pages in a folder gaah.

I don't mind leaving a dozen or two tabs open to flip between them; the nuisance is in figuring out which ones are what in the first place.

I suppose I need to learn how to make pages. Or the protocol for naming/capitalizing pages, 'cos "make a page" is "go to URL, and if it doesn't exist there's a click-here-to-make-this-page button."

Am composing post.
