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.

Yeah, video titles screw up encoding of special characters. It'll probably have to be "The Last Kaua'i 'o'o (Vsauce)", unless there's some official way to transcribe it in the absence of special characters.
Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.The other F is for Family video uploaded, “Frank Murphy” under Hair-Trigger Temper, is also watermarked. It only appears for part of the video, so I’d forgive you for missing it.
"Cat noir and Sentibug" under Almost Kiss needs to be sourced to Miraculous Ladybug and Miraculous Ladybug S03E24 "Ladybug"
Also both the title and description format it as "Cat noir", lowercase N, which is incorrect and should be changed to "Cat Noir", capital N

Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.On Dope Slap, the first video ("Sailor Moon - Dope Slap") is titled on its side. I don't know if that can be corrected or if it needs to be removed altogether...
Also on Dope Slap, the last video ("Zo Zo Zombie") is unsourced. It's apparently from a manga / anime titled Zo-Zo-Zo-Zombie-kun, though it doesn't have a work page yet. (If one is created, I guess it'll be under "Manga/ZoZoZoZombieKun".)

There's no way to fix the Sailor Moon one so I might have to delete it. Also, I can't add a source that doesn't have a page on this wiki, unfortunately.
Otherwise, done to here
Macron's notesManga/DetectiveConan is a redirect to Manga/CaseClosed, so the videos on VideoExamples/DetectiveConan need to have their sources changed.
I've brought it up before, but Anime/FullmetalAlchemistBrotherhood is also a redirect, so all the videos on VideoExamples/FullmetalAlchemistBrotherhood should have their sources changed to Manga/FullmetalAlchemist.
Listing redirects as sources makes sense when the redirect is not a synonym for its target page. E.g. a redirect to a series page where the redirect refers to a specific installment. Manga.Fullmetal Alchemist has two different anime adaptations, so Anime.Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood specifies which one the video comes from.
![]()
The problem is that videos that use a redirect as a source don't show up on the regular video example page (in this case VideoExamples/FullmetalAlchemist), forcing you to edit the address bar if you want to see them. They might as well be unsourced.
They can have Manga.Fullmetal Alchemist listed in addition to Anime.Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, then.
The Pibby video on Subverted Kids' Show has an overly long description. Please change it to this:
Also, please change the title of the video to either "Learning with Pibby" or just "Pibby", as "Learning with Pibby: Apocalypse" was a Working Title and isn't actually used in anything official.
And since we're on the topic of VideoExamples.Pibby, the video on Memetic Mutation ("Fred Flinestone Dieing") needs its title corrected to "Fred Flintstone Dying".

Jawbreakers on sale for 99¢I don't think the video title's a problem, as it could just be seen as describing the clip itself. Not every video is titled after the series name.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.Really, video titles shouldn't be the work name — otherwise VideoExamples.Pibby is just gonna be "Pibby, Pibby, Pibby" over and over again.
Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.“NOT THE SIRENS!!” under I've Heard of That — What Is It? is watermarked.
“The Battlehawks” under Eagle Squadron lists War Was Beginning, the trope, as a media source.
Three more vids with the same problem:
- The Stardust example for Showing Off the New Body (titled "Showing Off The New Body - Stardust") uses two additional tropes as media sources (Distracted by My Own Sexy and Dress Hits Floor). Upon recently reviewing the video, I've found that the Dress Hits Floor part doesn't happen until midway. Still, both additional tropes should be removed as sources.
- The The Octonauts video for Hurt Foot Hop (titled "Standing on my foot") uses other tropes as additional sources: Bait-and-Switch and Memetic Mutation as well as a subpage (Memes.Western Animation). The video also doesn't show how it is a meme (the description only claims that this scene is a "fan-favorite"). As such, Memes.Western Animation shouldn't be used as a source either.
- The Face Doodling example for Sword Art Online Abridged, titled "IDrewWhiskersOnYourFace!", uses Bait-and-Switch as a media source.

The first video on Forgot to Mind Their Head, "Beverly Hills Teens", had bothered me long enough. It isn't an example of Forgot to Mind Their Head but of Low Clearance instead, please correct it.
Thanks in advance.
For Fake Memories, there's a video titled "Chain of Memories Born of Lies". One of the sources is Kingdom Hearts - that's a redirect. Change it to Kingdom Hearts.

Another video on Internal Reveal, “Hop-Pop tells the truth”, is also watermarked.
