I asked this a couple days ago, and I apologize for having to ask again, but I'm still not 100% clear.

If I see a trope listing on the main page that I disagree with, but could be argued both ways objectively, do I have the right to move that trope entry to the page's YMMV section? If not, what should I do?

So I made an edit on Tumblr using And The Fandom Rejoiced, but it was removed for not being in-universe. I don't care if the entry stays or not, but I'd like to know what counts as In-Universe and Out of Universe for pages like Tumblr/other websites, so I can avoid that mistake in the future.

Uh, I think we got a potential troublemaker over here.

You see, earlier today, the user Irrelevant422 made an edit to the YMMV.Adventures Of Sonic The Hedgehog page, adding this entry:

• Some Anvils Need To Be Dropped: Okay sure 99 percent of the Sonic Sez bits are asinine/dumb/confusing and while 'If somebody tries to touch you' is pretty 'no dull', please keep in mind that abused children can easily be scared/shamed into keeping quiet about sad abuse for years.

I figured that, while it's legit, the entry was a tad natterish and soapboxy, so I edited it to this:

• Some Anvils Need To Be Dropped: The Sonic Sez for "Lovesick Sonic," dealing with sexual harassment.

Now, I do humbly apologize if this is now a zero context example since I made the edit on a phone at the time. However, just a few minutes ago, Irrelevant422 posted this on the above-linked discussion page:

"The moderators support rape-shaming culture. If you're going to cut down on a trope as important as 'children are shamed into lying about abuse' you support it. I've seen tropes longer than that left alone. Don't PM me about saying such a thing is left for forums and then claim some anvils need to be dropped, leave the original message alone or delete it completely."

Now, I don't support rape-shaming or anything ghastly like that, but I think this user could potentially be a problem, going by the way they responded there. Can a moderator please step in on this matter before things turned more sour?

The YKTTW Paper Ram needs to be unlaunched. It wasn't ready, had zero hats, and there was an ongoing discussion about the name and legitimacy of the trope, but they were ignored and was launched anyway.

Maybe this isn't the right place, but: Is Weapon Of Choice supposed to be how a weapon described the wielder's philosophy & personality (like the description shows) or just the wielder's signature weapon (as the example section shows)?

Okay, I know of the using Darth Wiki itself for unpublished works.

Let's say, for instance, I'm making a game. If I have an actual page(or set of pages) via a website that has stuff on it about the game(for instance a moveset for each char, etc.), does this count as enough data to treat it as a Fan Game, or should it stay in Darth Wiki? I'm sure it stays in Darth Wiki till an actual demo of the game comes out, but I want to be absolutely sure.

Is Beady Eyed Loser supposed to be an index? Putting an example on the trope page will add an index to the work page the example came from.

Got a YKTTW called Sentenced to Down Under and need an answer on whether or not linking to a music video on You Tube of U2's "Van Diemen's Land" is permissible. Drac Monster and I think it is but the sponsor feels iffy.

Links to the "A Boy A Girl And A Baby Family" trope are acting up somehow. Out of the three kinds of links I've tried (ABoyAGirlAndABabyFamily, {{A Boy A Girl And A Baby Family}}, [[ABoyAGirlAndABabyFamily A Boy A Girl And A Baby Family]]), all of them result in the link disappearing when the edit is finalized or "Preview" is clicked, even though it still appears if you look for it in "Source".

Page image◊ for The Hunter is 404'd.

Going by their edits on the Sonic the Hedgehog Neutral Characters page, I think we have another possible ban-dodger over here -- porki.

On the page for My Little Pony Equestria Girls, two reviews are already published, both of which are merely soapboxes stating "this movie won't be bad, don't freak out about yet". Though that may be true, the movie hasn't come out yet and thus there's nothing to review. As neither of them are reviews, should they be deleted?

I hate to keep complaining about this over and over, but JBL Cole, aka 123Miguel / Michael Cole 2 / Awesome Kong / whatever other sock account he's used before has surfaced /again/ to start deleting examples he doesn't like from pages (i.e. the one for Doki Doki Precure) because of some inane shipping-related BS. He's also natter-fied me simply for restoring the items he deleted for no reason outside of 'this interferes with my yuri fantasies'.

There's a suspiciously new account agreeing with Tacoma Jones and going after every criticism of New!Critic like he and Tiggle3 did.

So the image on Accidental Innuendo has a black bar going through it some text,this is not present in the original image,should it be swapped for the image without the black bar?

Why does Ray Harryhausen redirect to Harryhausen Movie (instead of the reverse)?

I PM'd troper KevinandVincent about adding tropes to Creator pages that don't apply to their work around 9AM EST May 10th informing him on the rule. He thanked me, but since then has added tropes to actresses pages like Brown Eyes, Canada Eh, Hot Mom, Ms Fanservice, Nerds Are Sexy all without context and some referencing only the actress.

In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2012, Red Hoods Shadows merged the Karai and Miwa entries using as argument the overwhelming amount of evidence to the two being the same person- but they noted in the discussion page that it was not confirmed yet. Opinions?

This page has no image yet there's a caption, so there might have been an image.

What's the difference between Prince Charmless and Royal Brat?

Kind of wonder about Connor Bible- have sort of been keeping an eye on their edits because of previous bad Complete Monster examples they added to Malcolm In The Middle and YMMV/Juno, and The Breakfast Club (among other works).

They aren't doing that any more, but they have this weird sort of Single Issue Wonk toward various works (usually ones involving Hilariously Abusive Childhood). Its hard to exactly explain...

How should I handle entries listed on the main page for a work/medium, but I feel like it should be a YMMV since it's more opinionated than fact based? For example:

On the main page for The Shield, there's an entry for Idiot Ball that involves other wrestlers not running when they come out, since they have the time to do so because of how long The Shield takes to get to the ring.

I feel like this is basically a judgment call, since a lot of the wrestlers in question have the "Death before dishonor" mentality, and I don't think it's fair to say that they're holding an idiot ball in that situation.

Would I be right to just move that to YMMV? In other cases, if I disagree with another troper's interpretation of a trope, what should I do?

under has some kind of agenda regarding the Hyenas in The Lion King and is continually whitewashing their actions. He's now edit warring over it.

Oh, and he misused the Natterfy button, sending me three of them for reverting his gushing.

I removed a character derailment example in Xena Warrior Princess explaining that character derailment is listed in the Flame Bait page but Laudanum put character derailment there again, 29 minutes after this.

A question regarding the creation of a trope page; is it possible to edit a previously made page's hyperlink or do i need to create a whole new one?

Noticing bashing/complaining entries by a troper called "Korm" on Game Of Thrones

Edit- Thanks for the correction, not sure how I missed that.

How do I revert recent edits to pages? Adult Fear (history) has just been vandalized by Wynne101

Complaining and arguing and drama...

So what's our policy on using spoiler tags as poor-troper's trigger warnings? I try to sift through the wiki every once in a while to uphold the official "No trigger warnings except on Fanfic Recs" rule, but I've noticed that in some cases pages will have text (which does not constitute plot-spoiling revelations) spoilered out because it contains the word "rape" or references self-destructive behavior like cutting.

The Politician's Husband was an example of a page that contained a trigger warning in the work summary and spoilered "trigger text." I went ahead and removed that to bring it in line with the "no T Ws outside FFR" policy, but there's an accompanying work The Politician's Wife which, while the page lacks the explicitly-stated trigger-warning text in the summary, still contains "trigger spoilers" in the trope list.

My inclination is to remove them as their use is clearly intended simply to mask trigger-warning-related words and not to actually preserve plot, but as I'm not personally familiar with the work, I also of course don't want to accidentally ruin the plot by mistakenly unhiding a legitimate spoiler.

Can someone provide a little clarification on what to do in these cases? Kimya Dawson is another example of spoiler tags used in a non-plot context. I went ahead and removed them as well, citing the Wiki Talk discussion wherein "No warnings outside fanfic recs" was originally agreed upon and made official.

Thanks in advance for the help.

17 jan, randomfox put a so bad it is horrible example in Silent Hill Revelation 3 D. In 18 jan, I removed this with "so bad its horrible is Flame Bait and can not be used" as edit reason. 15 may, randomthefox put it back.

Hello again! I have another quick newbie question. How does one white out spoilers? Thanks again for your help!

Hello. This is a complete newbie question, but how does one create a hyperlink out of normal text? I see it all the time. I understand how to use Wiki Words, but what if I want to make a piece of my OWN text become clickable and redirect to somewhere else? As a crude example, one such instance would be clicking the word "google" and being sent to the actual website. I have a feeling that it's quite simple, but I can't find the code. Thank you!

MagicallyMe keeps on removing a certain example on the Protagonist Centered Morality page for the show My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic. I really don't want to start an edit war, so I came her first.

Here's the example that keeps getting deleted

• In "Boast Busters" Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Applejack take issue with Trixie's magic show and boasting, despite all three doing plenty of boasting themselves and begin heckling her for little if any reason. By the end of the episode Trixie's home and possessions are destroyed by an Ursa Minor and the main culprits of the bear being brought there, Snips and Snails, get mustaches as 'punishment'. While Twilight is the one to (indirect) humiliate her, Twilight's friends were practically gloating at the ruination of someone else's livelihood and home for behavior less problematic they themselves have and would do.

What the heck is with the second caption on the image for Dug Too Deep?

In a Little Rascals short, Froggy is making a speech on the radio and blows out two microphones within the first couple of words because they can't handle his low, froglike voice. He goes to a third and speaks in an aritifically high voice, and that one doesn't break.

What trope would this go under? It doesn't quite match Glass Shattering Sound, Make Me Wanna Shout, or Gale Force Sound. Kind of like Mirror Cracking Ugly, but for a voice.

I'm...really not the world's biggest fan of unlocking YMMV pages that were locked for a reason, but I think an exception has to be made this one time: Monster/Bleach.

The page is missing Yhwach's entry, and...well, there's just some times when Your Mileage May Vary becomes "Your Mileage Is Irrelevant." Sort of like the case with Naoki Urasawa's Monster (hell, the trope IS the title). So, YMMV or not, locked or not, it's high time his entry ends up on that page I think. Basically, I need the page to be unlocked temporarily - enough to add the entry, and lock it back up.

So, I've noticed the page for the video game Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine is under the mostly nonsensical name of Monaco Mine. I'm assuming that moving it to something like Monaco or Monaco Whats Yours Is Mine is the proper reaction to this, but I'm unsure if I need to leave a redirect when doing this.

Tin Tyrant's picture is 404. It is not a cache problem. Since the link is an upload on TV Tropes, I was curious on how this happened.

Mikuru Fan just changed the markup for all the links on JustForFun.The Problem With Pen Island. Was this legitimate or was it improper?

We're cleaning up after an anti-Content Policy Wiki Vandal, boromirfromgondor, but I'm not sure what to do with his two edits to Improbable Power Discrepancy. They're removals of really nattery Thread Mode/Justifying Edit that seem kosher to me, but can I get a second opinion (particularly on whether we can combine any of it into the main example)?

tgycen vandalized the Characters.Homestuck Trolls Two page. HUNRonin changed it back, but I wasn't sure if anyone addressed tgycen, especially seeing as this was their only edit.

Are we under DDOS attack again? I've been getting a lot of problems with pages coming up as "temporarily unavailable".

Pasta711 made a rude edit here.

Sponge Bat 1 just added a Sonichu example in Fanwork Ban. Most of it seems to just be a Take That at the author. I'm not sure if it is enough grounds to remove it though.

Edit: I edited the example to be more neutral.

Anti-semitic editing by Nukestein. Pretty sure this is (the banned?) tf2 back under a new name.

I've seen article titles in articles (e.g. Oblivion 2013 and trope articles also) bolded and italicized for some strange reason. Should I unbold them? That's what I've been doing, 'cause you don't bold and italicize work titles, you just italicize them.

I thought that was old formatting no one corrected, but then someone added it to Oblivion 2013 and now I'm not sure.

I've put Index Of Solutions on the main index page, but the tropes I've been going to didn't show the index.

Something I brought up a while back and wanted to raise again (given an additional concern):

There is this page Stationery Voyagers that has been entry-pimped all over by Bulldozer Begins, who seems to be the person behind the site.

As far as I can tell (apologies if I am missing something)this work doesn't seem to actually exist in any form except their head.

An additional concern, one aspect of the "work" is apparently a presentation of homosexuals as evil, and that troper has made entries, including one for Life Imitates Art (on the work page and elsewhere) to say that those aspects are Truth In Television.

The "work" apparently has a group of evil gays called the "Crooked Rainbow"- if you search for that, you will find a lot of examples (for a direct illustration, see the example on Life Imitates Art).

Matthew Guy 6131994 has been going around and creating, then cutlisting, blank pages for something called The Call.

Why is the YMMV page for the game Fez locked? I know it's a work made by a controversial man, but many other works with far more controversies still have their own YMMV pages.
