All discussions need to occur in these threads; here we only enact finalized decisions.
Please keep in mind that moderators are likely not familiar with the work/s the video/s is/are from. As such:
- Mention the video's name.
- If you want a trope added or removed from a video, please explain how the video fits/doesn't fit the trope or link to other discussions supporting your proposal.
- If you want the description changed, please write up a draft for the description.
- Videos that lack a media source go to Videos Without a Source and shouldn't be reported here. If a source has been found, feel free to submit a request for it to be added to the video.
Requests that don't fulfill the above requirements will not be handled.

I agree with you because the watermark is noticeable, bottom right.
(she/her)
Watermarks aren't strictly prohibited (just undesired) but it's best to figure if we can use the videos in the first place.
Done to here.

I uploaded a vid for Roofhopping that's sitting on the waiting list for a week now.

We will get to all of the videos in the queue eventually. As video uploading isn't as important as the other things we do, we don't keep up with it regularly.
In any case, we don't need to be reminded about video backlog unless it's been several weeks.
Macron's notes
Hi, might I suggest adding "credits gag" as a secondary trope to the video example of "Giant Foot of Stomping" from "Bambi Meets Godzilla" to justify having uploaded the whole work? The foot stomp is at the very end, but the first minute has silly credits.

The Cape Snag video example from The Incredibles titled "Incredibles Cape Death Montage" should have Death Montage as a secondary trope because it shows many superheros dying.
A loyal animal lover
"Alice" under Sleepwalking should have Sleeps with Both Eyes Open (Alice is shown stirring a bowl in her sleep with her eyes wide open) as a secondary trope, as well as Never Wake Up a Sleepwalker (at the end, Frank advises Mitzi not to wake Alice). I'd also suggest this description: "Alice is stirring in her sleep (so to speak)."
"Hime" in Mouth Cam fits better under Eat the Camera, as the camera zooms in on her mouth as opposed to being filmed inside her mouth.
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Captain of USS Bajor
"Leon, Olivia, and Angelica" on Vengeance Feels Empty should have Success as Revenge as the primary trope instead. It's the scene mentioned in the Trapped in a Dating Sim example on the page, where Leon lays out his idea that rather than trying to make somebody else miserable the way they did to you, you should just make yourself happy and let the other guy suck on the fact they failed.
"Dramatic g-LOC recovery" from Top Gun: Maverick in Offscreen Airplane Pull-up doesn't actually show the trope. It shows Coyote going into G-loc, and Maverick painting him with a missile lock to wake him up with the alarm but cuts before he actually pulls up.
Don't know if this is the appropriate thread to mention it.
Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur (Breaking the Fourth Wall): Can you change the media source from Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur to Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur (2023)?

Re:Kalli - I rejected the video because it doesn't appear that the short film is actually free use.
You are at the right place. I rejected the video.
Done to here.

Oh, speaking of Trapped in a Dating Sim, "Leon and Olivia" on Anguished Declaration of Love and "Julius Rapha Holfort" on Rich in Dollars, Poor in Sense are both attached to the Light Novel namespace and need to be moved to Literature.
The "Hot Dog" video example for Badass Adorable should have the Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure source switched to a general Skylanders. It currently doesn't lead to the main franchise, and Hot Dog doesn't even exist in Spyro's Adventure.
Similar reasons apply to:
- The "Whirlwind" video for Everything's Better with Rainbows, which should have the secondary swapped from Skylanders: Giants to Skylanders.
- The "Superchargers fake ending" video for Fake-Out Fade-Out, which should have a link to Skylanders.
The Family Guy video example under Walkie-Talkie Gag, Over "Over" needs Family Guy S 6 E 9 Peters Daughter as a media source.
Also, the Supernatural example "Death" under Horsemen of the Apocalypse should have Touch of Death as a secondary trope since it shows a man dying after inadvertently brushing against him.

Tom Anderson on Shell-Shocked Veteran should be sourced to Beavis And Butthead
Now a lurker. Thanks for everything. | he/him
There's a Disney+ watermark on the "Honored To Accept Your Waste" video for Fancy Toilet Awe.

Our policy page hasn't been updated to the streaming wars, but I personally think streaming logos are closer to channel bugs than watermarks, so I let them through.

Got it. Just posting here in case there was an issue.

Some video examples can be found under Western Animation for some reason. The affected ones:
"Family Meeting" under Toilet Humour has both BigNo/WesternAnimation, "BlatantLies/WesternAnimation" , "GilliganCut/WesternAnimation" and "TemptingFate/WesternAnimation" as sources. Please remove them as sources and place them as secondary tropes instead.
"Duncan gets arrested" under Put on a Prison Bus has "LaserGuidedKarma/WesternAnimation" as a source. Please place that as a secondary trope.
"Spooky Family Album" under Amazingly Embarrassing Parents has "AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents/WesternAnimation" as a source. Remove.

Also, there are still some Thomas & Friends video examples that are still incorrectly sourced to Thomas the Tank Engine which need to be sourced to Thomas & Friends. The list is here.
Is there any reason why "Guns Akimb-Oh-No" in Toyota Tripwire doesn't have the Guns Akimbo trope attached to it? Not only does it show the trope in full detail, but the video is titled after it.
The reason is that the video-adder did not add it as a secondary trope. If you want it added... [taps the pinned post]
I will chip away at that but it's kind of tedious. Most of them were uploaded by ~Trending Toon 1 so pinging here to see if they can help move.
I got all the ones I uploaded; the rest are those uploaded by someone else.
They're also all watermarked.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
