I know linking to scanlated images is not allowed, but is linking to a scanlation group's site that is handling a series kosher? I wanted to give credit to the group that is handling Manga.Sachiare.

I think I know the answer already but figured it doesn't hurt to ask.

Can The Bechdel Test be placed on a work's main page?

Darkraven8's edit history is a little... odd. Especially the two million edits altering the description of Fighting from the Inside. Maybe check the metadata?

I've run into a lot of examples like this lately:

Folder for Literature

• In the book Alice meets Bob and X, Y, and Z happen
  • In the film of the book, X happens, but Y and Z are different.

It also happens in film folder for books and comic adaptions, and comic folder for films, and once for a novelization, and for Season 8 of Buffy a couple times a while back.

Could someone please point me to which Administrivia page says what to put in which folder, so I can point to it when (trying to) put all the examples in the right folders.

17 feb, i removed a description of a negative perception to a Pandering to the Base example in My Little Pony Equestria Girls with "natter" as edit reason. 5 mar, Austin put this back with "Describing the negative perception is no more natter than describing the positive perception." as edit reason.

I have a YKTTW draft that has five hats and is pretty much ready to launch. The only problem is that it still has a "needs a better name" tag. Since we discussed the name and came up with a new one after the tag was added, is it okay to launch it or do I have to ask for the tag to be removed?

I'm a Trope Pantheon goer. In the Trope Pantheon stuffs, when we're discussing what to put, we use the Discussion Page. However... the main Discussion Page has been so big with suggestions here and there it becomes very slow to load that I am afraid that it might cause a wiki break. Is there any suggestions where to put future discussions of this? A forum topic?

There;s an edit war on the anime subpage of the Too Dumb to Live trope for the show Dragon Ball Z on whether the character Bardock qualifies as being Too Dumb to Live.

I think that For the Evulz should be added to No Real Life Examples, Please!. It is the main trope about calling someone evil, who does things just because they are evil. Nobody is like that in real life.

Just to be sure, if a character, whom is portrayed as a Badass through out a majority of the series, with one moment of Decay done purely for comedic effect, would BadassDecay still be in effect for that one moment alone?

Is there a consensus for how we should format the date on trope pages? Some people prefer to format it like "3/8/2014," whereas others will use a format like "Mar. 8, 2014."

I'm more partial to the latter, because I always worry about the American/European dichotomy. In Europe, "3/8" means August 3rd (I think— I'm American), and in America, it means March 8th.

Would I be wrong if I edited instances of "x/x/xxxx" to "X x(st/th/nd/rd), xxxx"?

We still have tropers putting spoiler tags on trope names on the Characters.Frozen page.

A few months back at Creator.Valve Software, I changed a line about them having the greatest snack bar ever to tone down the hyperbole, and a gratuitous meme shoehorn was removed by someone else as well. In December, Preda put it back. Apparently, trying to make the page look less like a memetic love letter to Valve means we're agents of EA, or something.

To avoid turning this into a super-slow edit war, I wanted to ask if there was anything else that could be done.

Does anyone mind If I split Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords into its own page? The main Knights of the Old Republic page really does need a split.

Edit Wars going on in Twitch Plays Pokémon Crystal over AJDNNW's name.

Edit War spotted in YMMV: Frozen (Disney) (over Broken Aesop) and Frozen (over Abusive Parents).

nmn3r3 adding in a commented-out ZCE, also add one more ZCE, in SCP Foundation SCPs, ignoring the note on the top.

hijhiysonikku made Film.Pokemon Blackand White The Movie... except that's not a real thing. It doesn't exist, will never exist, and no one ever said it would.

Okay, well enough. I cutlisted it. But they also edited the Pokemon Black and White page to mention the nonexistent movie (and blather about how sexy the villain is]].

EDIT: Nevermind, someone beat me to it.

R1ck1 deleted an example from Fowl-Mouthed Parrot for no apparent reason. I reverted him.

hijhiysonikku is adding subjective tropes to Pokémon Black and White (IE saying N is sexy and made a fake page for a Pokemon Black and White movie.

I have no idea what's going on.

Palindromee is having problems with necro'ing old RP sign-up threads — they've done this twice in as many days. Can a mod please give them a tap on the shoulder?

Since we have a page for Starcraft II's units, can I make one for Warcraft III's?

Hi. I've been thinking about adding a works page for "TLF Travel Alerts", which is a Twitter account.

The page I've started working on is in the sandbox here: Tlf Travel Alerts

The work in question exists here: https://twitter.com/TlfTravelAlerts

So, several questions:

1) Is the world ready for a Tvtropes article about a Twitter account?

2) If yes, is this account worthy of an article? (I know, There Is no Such Thing as Notability, but even that has limits.)

3) Whether the answers to any of the above questions are yes or no, what formatting should be used when quoting a Tweet? You'll notice in the article I started I used the formatting that seemed to be the closest to what would be the standard around here, but I don't think it looks quite right. At any rate, whether this turns into a full-fledged article or not, someday someone will want to quote a Tweet and then we'll need to know.

Thank you.

Do I understand correctly that, with the new namespace-agnostic custom title system, it's not possible to give Series.Mystery its correct punctuation (Mystery!) without the same punctuation being applied to Main.Mystery as well?

Is it just me, or is Eleventh Hour Superpower full of Zero Context Examples?

A question about how the system works:

I tried to add a new Wild Mass Guess to the page [1], but my edit doesn't show on the page. What should I do?

I noticed a duplicate example on the Savage Wolves page:

• In InuYasha, one of the youkai him and his group encounter is a giant, manipulated wolf and his normal-sized pack. Later they encounter a village where everyone has been slaughtered by wolves, lead by a humanoid wolf-youkai named Koga. Eventually Koga turns out a Jerk with a Heart of Gold and they (usually) get along fine with him.

A little later in the Anime and Manga folder:

• InuYasha: The wolf-youkai tribe was infamous for eating humans and destroying entire human villages in the process. Kouga's tribe destroyed three human villages (including Rin's village, killing everyone there including Rin herself) before Inuyasha's group was able to catch him. After that first encounter Kouga became enamoured enough of Kagome to that he stops his tribe from eating humans and from that point on he became Noble Wolf.

I haven't watched InuYasha, so my questions are:

• How to word the example (no reason to have two entries for the same thing)?
• What should be done with such duplicate examples in the future? What is the best place to ask for help if I am not familiar with the work in question?

Is Zaptech's modified line really considered Natter?

Realized that it's an indentation issue instead.

A user has edited back examples troping a real person's life on Muammar Gaddafi under the justification of "There are several public figures who are troped across the site. Removing years of work for the sake of enforcing something that isn't even universally enforced is silly."

The guidelines for creator pages is relatively new as I recall, so I assume that's why it's not been completed removed. Plus, even if not every page has done it, I have seen numerous pages wiped of "examples of the creator" and even locked or cut-and-locked because of failing this rule. Not to mention they could always edit those by themself.

Editor Chris is adding something akin to "not really an example" sub bullet edits to examples he doesn't "agree with" in the tearjerker and heartwarming pages for Toonami. I removed them, but he just put them back. This is not the first time he's had issues with these pages.

Edit: The "sad the show has left" examples may seem like misuse but such examples were admin accpeted when this was brought up last time he removed stuff.

Here's one... I'm almost embarrassed to raise this, as I feel like I'm missing something ridiculously simple.

I noticed after a good long search - unless I've missed something - that the webcomic 1977:The Comic doesn't appear to have a Works page yet.

I got stuck on creating a link, so that I could click on the link, open a suitably titled page, and begin creating the page.

I am aiming at getting the title to appear as Webcomic: 1977 The Comic (ideally there should be a full colon in between "1977" and "The Comic", but this is the thing about punctuation marks)

But however I try to do it, instead of the expected red link to travel to and fill with content, nothing appears to be happening. I can do it in the form of 1977: The Comic, but this does not return the title in numerical form 1977. Is there anything I'm missing out here and should be doing, or is this a case of requesting a custom title?

Thanks for help!

Can someone remove the last 2 words of this title? Forgot to remove them when I launched: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SafetyGearIsCowardlychangeName

Onionguard is bumping years old Final Fantasy XIII reviews so he can flame other people in the comments section.

This may be nothing. It may even be resolved. But I came across an odd situation today and I'm not quite sure what to make of it, so I felt it best to bring it up here as a just-in-case.

In one of the Funny Moments pages of Game Grumps, a user, DarkSideoftheSun removed an entry for their play through of Super Mario Bros 2 about the Grumps' reactions to a character being a case of She's a Man in Japan, calling it unfunny and bigoted. I re-added it, with the edit reason that, while I could see it as potentially offensive, the Grumps themselves didn't really say anything against the situation, just reacted with surprise. At worst, they call the character a "strange dude." Not to mention it was hardly their most offensive entry on that page.

As if Tempting Fate, a couple hours later, a whole other user, shadowknight238 came around and started deleting severall entries in the page. Nearly all of them, from what I could tell, having to do with entries that could be potentially seen as racist and/or homophobic.

The deletions have long since been restored, with a mod Deadbeatloser22 leaving a null edit not to mass delete. Not five minutes later, shadowknight238 deleted two specific entries. The Super Mario Bros. 2 one that started the whole situation, and a Punch Out!!! one I'd edited to add a link after my re-adding of the SMB entry.

Again, the deletions have since been restored. So it looks like the whole thing's been resolved. Still, it struck me as odd to warrant mention here just in case it bears keeping an eye on.

EDIT: NVM, figures this goes to the forum instead.

Remember Cave Cat? How she was making dozens of unclear YKTTW's, suffering from bad descriptions/names and not finishing most of them? She just made yet another YKTTW today.

I think Shanghai Slave already talked to her about some of her problems before. Can a mod give her a talk?

A bit of technical problem to report which I think doesn't require an entire forum.

Noticed this while looking at the Generation Xerox, but it seems that it and several other tropes listed in Literature/Overenskommelser are being indexed under Literature/Overenskommelser. Basically the literature page is acting as if it is an index page. Tried looking in the novel's page itself for the source of the problem but couldn't seem to find it at least from my perspective. Not exactly sure what's happening.

The Ant 1 went a little... off, in his edit reason here.

Is there a way to get the spoiler-stripping code to work on Main pages? Bury Your Gays has a "As a Death Trope, all Spoilers will be unmarked ahead. Beware." warning, but it still had a lot of spoilers. I couldn't get the code to work, so I went through and cleared them manually.

Is it just me or is this editor entry pimping the Smurfette Principle?

Hi, I'm working on a new Literature page (Shaman of the Undead) and I have trouble finding a proper indexes (I guess it needs about three, but so far I've got only Urban Fantasy index). Can you tell me which ones should I use?

Eluna has some issues with grammar in addition to the lack of spaces after commas.

I have the distinct impression that buttprankster is the latest incarnation of myfriendbob.

Just one edit so far, but Piper's grammar and spelling is bad

Need a revert on Characters.Darksiders. megazilla reverted the ZCE cleanup without adding context.

Kage Nara called other troper of "nationalistic bigot" in the discussion page to Ambiguously Brown.

SageM seems to be unable to use markups according to most of their recent edits.

Is there a hero equivalent of the Evil Overlord List?

Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie. Two of the film entries have " (YMMV about whether or not this may also be an Ashes to Crashes type situation)" as part of the example write up.

My instinct says nuke. Is that appropriate?

Is it okay to remove certain information from a YMMV page if it has false conclusions (like the show's purpose being to sell toys despite having very little variety of them or none at all), or exaggerated?
