Please make the following edits:
- Add the secondary trope Creative Closing Credits to the "WordWorld" video from the Ending Theme page. The credits feature various words transforming into the things they represent.
- Add the secondary trope Giant Eye of Doom to the "Hemoglobin Highway" video from the "Fantastic Voyage" Plot page. In the video, a giant eye stares at Phineas and Ferb inside their submarine.
- Add the secondary trope Incredibly Long Note to the "The Weird Al Show" video from the Expository Theme Tune page. In the video, the theme tune ends with the word "show" being sung for 14 seconds straight.
- Add the secondary trope Mock Headroom to the "Rap God (Fast Part)" video from the Motor Mouth page. In the video, Eminem can be seen wearing a suit and sunglasses in front of a glitchy colored background which is evocative of Max Headroom.
- Add the secondary trope The Pearly Gates to the "To Make a Long Story Short" video from the Stylistic Callback page. In the video, the singer dies and winds up in front of gold gates on top of a cloud.
- Add the secondary trope A Protagonist Shall Lead Them to the "Jake kills Tsu'tey" video from the Mercy Kill page. In the video, a dying Tsu'tey suggests that Jake, who is The Protagonist, should lead the people in his place.
- Add the secondary trope Undisclosed Funds to the "Bart's Ghost Story" video from the Big "NO!" page. In the video, the amount of money it will cost for Maggie to go to college is never revealed to the viewer. We only see Homer's reaction.
- Add these secondary tropes to the "She's the Mayor" video from the Reset Button Ending page:
- Prospector: Instead of Candace, the essay contest is won by a stereotypical prospector called "Old Coot," who says "If you find any gold, it's mine!"
- Speak in Unison: After Old Coot wins, the whole crowd says "Hooray for finding gold being a metaphor for... oh, wait. I think we're supposed to take that literally."
- The Story That Never Was: The conflict is resolved by time reversing until the Inciting Incident (Candace winning the essay contest and becoming the mayor for a day) is undone.
- Add More Dakka, They Killed Kenny Again, World of Bad Cops, Would Hurt a Child as secondary tropes to the video from "The Pandemic Special" in Police Brutality.
- More Dakka: A boy (and Kenny) are quite literally riddled with dozens upon dozens of bullets.
- They Killed Kenny Again: Kenny is killed in the police onslaught.
- Would Hurt a Child: The police are shown killing (at the very least) two kids due to their overzealous tendencies for violence, with Yates himself admitting he hates kids.
- World of Bad Cops: Refunded by the Mayor, the first thing the police (or the "teachers") do with it is use their arsenal to hunt and kill kids around South Park.

Just take my hand, we’re gonna reach for the stars tonight~On Recap.Ed Edd N Eddy S 5 E 20 Run Ed Run, the sole video ("We've Hit The Sky?", Crack in the Sky) should also be an example of Firmament.
No description?
VideoExamples.Born From Plants: "Ha-chan"
Might as well use the trope's description of the example?
"Ha-chan, the baby fairy, is born when she emerges from a ball of light from a pink flower."
Disambig Needed: Help with those issues! tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13324299140A37493800&page=24#comment-576How do I move all videos for Theatre.Carmen ("Ildar Abdrazakov" as an example of Cast the Expert, "Carmen Seduces a Cop" as an example of Seduction Lyric, "Carmen" as an example of Defiant to the End, and "Carmen" as an example of If I Can't Have You…) to Theatre.Carmen 1875?
If you were the one who uploaded those videos, you can try to do that yourself by changing the media source. But I don't think that's the case so I'll do it myself.
EDIT: Wait a second, the destined work page doesn't exist yet. In that state, it's not even possible to move the videos yet.

135 -> 180 -> 273 -> 191 -> 188 -> 230 -> 300 -> 311Requesting that for the "Living Lo-Fi"/Cheekface entry for Movie-Making Mess, it have a secondary trope for The Millstone.

Thanks for playing King's Quest V!~Number 9 Robotic : We need a justification for how the video demonstrates the trope.

Working on this now.

Trust me, I'm an engineer!In Flashback video of VideoExamples.Code Geass Roze Of The Recapture does the guy's bold attempt of kidnapping young Catherine qualify for Pedophilia Is a Special Kind of Evil?
VideoExamples.Unobtainium: Australium has no description:
Drawing from Unobtainium.Video Games:
- Use non-smart quotes for "Lex Luthor’s Super Move" because it displays bad in the app?
- "Hyper Pulsor" has no description.
From the trope page:
More missing descriptions, might as well use the trope's first lines:
VideoExamples.Die Hard On An X: "Die Hard"
Btw, any way to find all vids without descriptions? Or gotta go manual?
A list of all vids would probably maybe at least allow sorting by "data-video-descrip="""

's
in "Lex Luthor’s" is using a smart quote / apostrophe instead of the simple kind.
Also found another descriptionless, if you didn't catch my edit.

Disambig Needed: Help with those issues! tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13324299140A37493800&page=24#comment-576Ah OK, I replaced the quote symbol.
As for descriptionless videos, I added the suggestions to the two you mentioned, but I have no idea how to find or detect videos that lack one. I usually don't reject videos lacking them unless there's no clarity on how they display their primary tropes.
135 -> 180 -> 273 -> 191 -> 188 -> 230 -> 300 -> 311Ah. Thanks!
Well, grammar fixes:
VideoExamples.Volcanic Veins: "She-Hulk Transforms":
exhilarated experience > exhilarating experience
VideoExamples.Listen To Me Girls I Am Your Father: "The Worst Anime Cliche":
sort of quick > sort of squick
Unclear description, taking from trope page, also should be The Anime of the Game:
VideoExamples.Anime Of The Game: "Power Stone"
Grammar:
VideoExamples.Kick The Dog: "Samara's Senseless Suicide":
Samara's dead Shepard > Samara's dead, Shepard

"GL1TCHK1D Steals The Show" (under Hostile Show Takeover) also shows an example of Grand Theft Me - mind adding that as a secondary trope?
