This thread collates all requestsFor example regarding videos for moderators and engineersHow to... .
The policy on videos is here, the policy & general discussion here
and maintenance discussion here.
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.

With that said, what could I do with the current videos?

Report it here and hope the admins eventually deal with it.

Please cut the Caffeine Bullet Time video from The Annoying Orange - it uses almost all of the video's content (2:30 out of about 2:40 not counting the end card) and isn't even really a clear example of the trope.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
Maintenance?
Reality Ensues has been renamed to Surprisingly Realistic Outcome, so the video examples need to be checked before moving to the new title. Here's one that can be removed straight away, since it is not the most recent video for either the trope or the work:
- RWBY Chibi video called "Kick Off". It does not demonstrate the trope because it's just a cartoon gag about a character's cyberlegs. In fact, the scene it depicts was removed by the Reality Ensues clean-up thread back in April 2020.

The Dorkly and Helluva Boss video examples for Nice Job Breaking It, Hero and Aside Glance (respectively) should be removed. The original poster has failed to correctly upload the videos which is why they are currently glitching.

The Aside Glance video is also a dupe (also on Take That, Audience!).
Did most of the requests save for the Nice Job Breaking It, Hero (can't find it) and Aside Glance (doesn't work) videos.

Maintenance?
Five Races has been retooled into Standard Fantasy Races, and there is a video example to be migrated. There are still two videos on Anything Can Be Music to be moved to Everything Is an Instrument; I'm unclear why video examples cannot be moved to other tropes if it was done for a video moved from Full Health Bonus to No-Damage Run. Nobody will be able to see the ghosted examples.

I'm back!
The clip from VideoExamples.Monster Shaped Mountain should be moved to Beware the Skull Base.
I went to the Video quality control thread first and was redirected here:
Red Riding Hood Replica has a video using Ruby Rose from RWBY. The video is actually a Little Red Fighting Hood example. As Little Red Fighting Hood is a sub-trope of Red Riding Hood Replica, and characters aren't normally troped under a super-trope if a sub-trope applies, please can I ask for the video to be moved from Red Riding Hood Replica to Little Red Fighting Hood?

If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.
It looks like we can now reassing videos by trope and also resolve some of the broken videos. I've actioned some requests; feel free to repost any of the previous ones.

IS it possible to fix the videos that got unsynced after upload, like the Double Standard Rape: Female on Male one?

So I had a video from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory that was under Surprisingly Realistic Outcome (Reality Ensues) and was scrutinised, yet it's still shown in my videos... How do I delete it due to this problem?
Edited by Agent2583 on Feb 8th 2021 at 8:28:12 PM
You can just edit it yourself under: VideoExamples/RealityEnsues
Secret Agent2583
Yeah that's kind of a problem, because Reality Ensues doesn't have an edit button yet Surprisingly Realistic Outcome does

Thanks, I'll worry about that later.

I've seen from TV Tropes that you can change the name of the trope so that it moves the trope to there. I've done that so the video I was talking about is moved to there.
My broken videos on Mirror Routine are still there.

Folks, please give the title of the video that you need fixed.

Oop, sorry. It's the "still feel" videos with the color bars.

I tried to upload a video regarding Bahamut from Rage of Bahamut: Genesis for Draconic Abomination only to get a message that "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported."
Please remove VideoGame.Persona (a disambiguation page) from the sources for "Persona 5 Royal: Violet" on Super Move Portrait Attack
^Done.
^^That's a technical issue which we can't handle here.

In particular, do not copy paste anything ever from Word or similar software. They tend to "auto-correct" quote signs in destructive ways. Use dedicated text editors instead (even good old Notepad should work).
