New troper here, please bear with me. :) I wanted to add the trope All My Circuits to the work page for Barney's Version, but I notice it has a very strange URL... https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ptitleh790movp

There's been a small Edit War going on in the Awesome: Avatar page. It's a rehash of of an old one that got settled back in January over some Tropers deleting others's entries on the page.
Also, on a semi-unrelated note, at least one other troper (diesector21) has been deleted others' entries because they were Rooting for the Empire.

I came across a strange page today: Carnival Of Souls appears (at least to me) to be blank, however I thought it was odd that a blank page was on three indexes. Looking at the page source, I see a description and trope list that I can't see otherwise.
Is anyone else getting the same thing?

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but The Hunted is not being indexed into Films of the 2000s — although it was in the past.
I thought of a new idea for a trope. "Bambi Syndrome". This trope is used to describe a film or story that follows the same formula as Bambi: - The main protagonist starts out as a newborn but grows up throughout the course of events. - The main protagonist has a parent whom he is very close to. - The parent dies at one point in the movie. - The main protagonist gets revenge on the antagonist who killed his parent. - The main protagonist continues the Circle of Life at the end of the movie.
There are three movies I know of that have this "Bambi Syndrome": 1. Bambi 2. The Land Before Time 3. The Lion King I'm sure there are tons of others that do as well.
I'd like to know if there is a trope like this on this site, and if so, what is it called? I think "Bambi Syndrome" is a better name for it whatever it may be.
