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.

“Grandpa Gohan” under Posthumous Character has Tear Jerker, an Audience Reaction, as a secondary trope.
"Fred Speaking Fluent Mandarin" on Suddenly Bilingual appears to have been clipped from a Youtube Video as videos popped up on the end of the clip.

Sorry about that. I'll try cutting that part out and uploading it again.
Request: Make certain video attributes open for public editing. The attribute benefitting most from Wiki Magic seems to be "Secondary Tropes".
Guma: I removed Tear Jerker as secondary trope for that video.
^ Mods can't do anything about that and you already made Query Wishlist request for it.
Macron's notesSeveral How I Met Your Mother videos are dupes:
- Super Gullible and Dumb Blonde
- Last-Second Word Swap and Pig Latin
- Running Gag ("You Son of a Bitch!") and You Bastard!
- Surprise Incest and Let Us Never Speak of This Again
- Running Gag ("Barney's Job") and Obliquely Obfuscated Occupation
Just cut the one from You Bastard!, it's misuse (that's a fourth wall trope).
On Codename: Kids Next Door, for the video "Everyone says WHAT?" (example of Big "WHAT?!"), please add Split-Screen Reaction as a secondary trope.
The Jonny Quest video for Invisible Monsters is very flashy. I think it should be removed.
Trope Editor (he/him)Densha Giri! (Calling Your Attacks): Add Kamen Rider as a media source please.
The You Bastard! video for F is for Family doesn’t refer to the work calling the audience out. It instead refers to characters in the work calling out another character.
Could someone please update VideoExamples.Robin Hood to VideoExamples.Robin Hood 1973? I'm disambiguating the Disney animated film from other Robin Hood-related works.
Regarding the F is for Family example for You Bastard!, I was saying it should be removed as misuse of the trope.
Some Featured Video swap requests:
On Place Worse Than Death, please swap out "I think this might be Seattle." (Oxhorn Short Shorts and the current featured video for the Trope) for "Take him to Detroit." (The Kentucky Fried Movie)
Both videos have the same rating (5 stars), but "I think this might be Seattle." has that rating from only 4 votes while "Take him to Detroit." has that rating from 34 votes, making the latter the more well-known/popular video.
On Gratuitous Mariachi Band, please swap out "Eat Our Food In The Shower" (Ninja Sex Party and the current featured video for the Trope) for "Au Contraire... He's Back!" (Star Trek: The Next Generation) for the same reason; both videos have 5-star ratings but "Au Contraire... He's Back!" has the higher vote count (5 stars from 28 votes) vs. "Eat Our Food In The Shower" (5 stars from 7 votes). There's also the bit that "Au Contraire... He's Back!" describes the scene showcased in Gratuitous Mariachi Band's page image, but that's neither here nor there.
That... Was almost too easy.

"The Family of Blood" example under And I Must Scream should also have Be Careful What You Wish For and Tranquil Fury as secondary tropes.
