This is my upload. Is anybody really harmed by the content warning being there? The video depicts impending child sexual abuse, it's a very short warning, and Trauma Button is a trope encompassing many kinds of triggers, so just being on the page may not be enough of a warning.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.- 4148
: Grade A Under A link still wasn't removed, so removed.

: Video Examples are tech pages, they don't actually exist if there are no videos. You can see that by going to another namespace. Them showing as blue instead of red is up to Query Bugs. Which is also asked later.

: As it turns out, video titles have a max length of 30, which to me is absurd. I'm not sure what the hard-coded limit is, because it let me saved with 32, but at about 100 it failed. Done.

: Done. Done. Done.
- 4202
: That's more of policy question
, but I side with "is it needed at all?" until consensus for it. Also I don't see warning on Trauma Button page aside In-Universe Examples Only.
- Thanks! So initial video uploads with a 30+ title need to be fixed post-upload?
I guess some Video Examples pages being red or blue is possibly related to that.
VideoExamples.Answer Cut: Cut "Oh, boy! 3:00 AM" as a shorter version of "Oh, Boy, 3AM!"?
VideoExamples.A Plague Tale Innocence: Only video is using Wiki Word-s in description, but that doesn't work, and needs Misfit Mobilization Moment added anyway.

No, the limit is 30 and lifehacking more isn't a solution.
Personally prefer to move everything to "Oh, boy! 3:00 AM" and cut the other one for being lower quality.
Is wikiwords not working in the description needs fixing (and to what then)? Also see points 1 to 3 of the pinned post.

TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupVideoExamples.Strange Minds Think Alike:
"You may have vanquished...": Change the trope from Strange Minds Think Alike to Alternate Species Counterpart because is it really a different mind if it's an Alternate Species Counterpart?

Disambig Needed: Help with those issues! tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13324299140A37493800&page=24#comment-576"Evil Ahsoka", under Brainwashed and Crazy is not only is missing a source, but it exceeds 2 mins 30 seconds.
I did wonder if it was too over the limit to accept (though missing sources aren't a big deal). A few seconds over don't seem to be the end of the world as the rule is more a guideline and not written to imply that anything over 2:30 must be rejected. I try to allow for a little wiggle room, though 2:40 or more is rejected every time.

Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallThe Fairly OddParents! video "Real and Scary" under Halloween Songs needs The Fairly Odd Parents S 2 E 24 Scary Godparents as a media source.
- Stewart Lawrence (Death Seeker) Can you add Mary Shelley's Frankenhole S1E3 "Attack of The Were-Lawrence" as a media source?
I am not happy with how my upload for Adaptation Explanation Extrication came out. There is an awkward audio offset that wasn't there when I uploaded the video. Can a mod remove the video and I am gonna try uploading it in a different format?
You can go back to the video upload page and delete it yourself from there.
On VideoExamples.Llanargollen, please change the source for the two video examples:
- Radli on his bike (example of Captain Crash)
- The missing parcel (example of 6 Is 9)
... from WesternAnimation.Llanargollen to Series.Llanargollen.
The two pages are duplicate; the correct namespace for this kind of show (live-action with a few animated character) is "Series/".
On Insignia Rip-Off Ritual, change the source of the video titled "Branded Opening" from Series.Branded to Series.Branded 1965.
Edit: Thanks

The example on VideoExamples.The June Archive And Restoration Project needs to have its source changed to WebAnimation.The June Archive And Restoration Project as it's in the wrong namespace
LP Deprecation Cleanup | Ask me about SMPLiveI submitted the video "Every Wes Anderson Film" for Recycled Script, but I think the video is a better fit for Recycled Premise. Can you please move it to Recycled Premise?
For "Dogeyes Lin (Sleeping Dogs)" under Killed Offscreen, like to ask for a change to Sleeping Dogs (2012).
- Arthur's Eyes (Blind Without 'Em): Can you add Wrong Bathroom Incident as a secondary trope since Arthur ends up entering the girl's washroom by mistake?
- Jade Gave Herself a Wedgie (Wedgie): Can you add Jackie Chan Adventures S 3 E 17 Attack Of The J Clones as a media source?
- The Magic School Bus (Acceptable Breaks from Reality): Can you add The Magic School Bus S1 E1 "Gets Lost in Space" as a media source and rename the video as MSB: Producers Segment?
- The Magic School Bus (Sick Episode): can you add The Magic School Bus S1 E3 "Inside Ralphie" and renamed the video to Inside Ralphie?
- The Magic School Bus (Big Eater): Can you add The Magic School Bus S1 E9 "Gets Ready, Set, Dough" as a media source and rename it to MSB: Producers Segment: Kitchen Chemistry?
- The Magic School Bus (Opening the Flood Gates): Can you add The Magic School Bus S2 E6 "Wet All Over" as a media source?
- Geats IX Vs Gazer (Theme Music Power-Up): Can you add Kamen Rider Geats Ep 38 Yearning F The Nine Tailed White Fox as a media source and add Curb-Stomp Battle as a secondary trope since the video showcases Geats IX beating Gazer easily.

These Amphibia videos are all duplicates of one another:
- "Mr. X" for Beware the Silly Ones
- "Mr. X" for Ink-Suit Actor
- "Mr. X" for Oh, Crap!
On VideoExamples.Llanargollen, please correct the source for the two video examples, as the work page was under the wrong namespace:
- Radli on his bike (example of Captain Crash)
- The missing parcel (example of 6 Is 9)
... from WesternAnimation/ to Series/.
![]()
They should merge together with the Beware the Silly Ones video as the main example.
Following the rule that character pages shouldn't have video examples, on Code Lyoko:
- For the video "The Skidbladnir is saved" (example of Big Damn Heroes), please remove those two media sources: Characters.Code Lyoko Lyoko Warriors and Characters.Code Lyoko Villains
- For the video "Ulrich vs. XANAelita" (example of Theme Music Power-Up), please remove those three media sources: Characters.Code Lyoko Kadic Academy, Characters.Code Lyoko Lyoko Warriors and Characters.Code Lyoko Villains
Thanks in advance.

"Rasputin Dance" (Doctor Who, Even Evil Has Standards) has a bunch of Characters/ pages as sources.
2025: the year it all ends?

Please remove Technoblade as a source from the Dream SMP example on Kick the Dog, and please change the other two on Technoblade's video examples
to WebVideo.Technoblade, thank you!
