The videos titled "Agnes/Agatha Harkness" from WandaVision for Evil All Along and Canon Character All Along are the same. I recommend making Canon Character All Along the secondary trope, as the video demonstrates that Agnes was Evil All Along. That she is a canon character may be known to Marvel fans, but isn't completely self-evident from the video.
The video also includes that "Agatha All Along" theme song, which is also a video for Villain Song. I don't have a problem with there being two distinct videos for that, but if we're going for efficiency, I would make Villain Song another secondary trope for the Evil All Along video.
And finally, can you add And Your Little Dog, Too! as a secondary, relating to the video's end, when Agatha brags about killing Sparky too?
VideoExamples.Looney Toons has two videos attached to it that need to have their WesternAnimation.Looney Toons sources changed to WesternAnimation.Looney Tunes.
Add a title. Stay safe; stay well. Live beyond… memento vivere! Should intermittent vengeance arm again his red right hand to plague us?The You Only Live Twice example under Piranha Problem "Biofeld kills Helga" should be under Shark Pool as it features a person being dropped into a tank with piranha.
- What would Larry do? (Chased Off into the Sunset): Can you add Sponge Bob Square Pants S 6 E 6 A Life In A Day Sun Bleached as a media source?
- Clammy (All Animals Are Dogs): Can you add The Backyardigans S 2 E 5 The Legend Of The Volcano Sisters as a media source?

There's a Downer Ending video called ""Yashahime S1E24 Ending" that looks like it's misusing the trope in the way that ban-evader VideoCurator237 (NintenFireSwag20) tends to do (it's claiming the video is an example of Downer Ending and "Ray of Hope" Ending at the same time, when that's not possible). Please can it be checked to see if that's who uploaded it?
If it was uploaded by someone else, please can the following corrections be made to it:
- Change the primary trope to "Ray of Hope" Ending and delete the secondary trope.
- Change the description to the following: "The first season ends on a rather bleak note, as Kirinmaru defeats both Towa and Moroha, and Setsuna is dead with seemingly no hope for revival. However, Sesshomaru suddenly appears, giving Towa the broken Tenseiga and hinting that she will somehow find a way to use it to revive Setsuna."
- Please remove from the sources the following entries: Crispin Freeman, David Kaye, Erica Mendez, Morgan Berry, Yashahime Princess Half Demon Ep 24 Sesshomarus Daughter (this page has been sent to the Cut List for being created by a ban evader).

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.The Dragon Quest video examples for One-Winged Angel and Spam Attack are not showing up in the Dragon Quest and Dragon Quest XI Video Example pages due to the media source mentioning the whole title of the 11th game and not including the media source dedicated to the entire series. Also the video example on Damage-Increasing Debuff should have the media source for Dragon Quest XI shortened to remove the Echoes Of An Elusive Age part since the name of the page does not include that part. Can somebody fix that please?

Doing these...
- VideoExamples.Wanda Vision: I merged Canon Character All Along into the Evil All Along video but did not add And Your Little Dog, Too! as that's for a villain threatening a hero's loved ones, not about literally hurting dogs. I'll let the Villain Song video stand alone for now. I got another duplicate (Superhero Horror / Surreal Horror) and merged those.
- I moved one of the VideoExamples.Looney Toons vids to VideoExamples.Looney Tunes but rejected the other as it was the entire commercial.
- For "Machinima.Team Fortress 2 -> WebAnimation.Team Fortress 2" I will need a list of video names. The Video Examples page sorts by wikiword, not namespace + wikiword, so VideoExamples.Team Fortress 2 catalogues all videos in the franchise.
- Downer Ending Yashahime video was indeed uploaded by Video Curator 237. I rejected all their videos.
-
Sorry, what? I don't know Dragon Quest so you will need to be clearer about precisely what changes need to be made — what wikiword links need to be added or removed? Also, please state the videos' names; there are a ton of videos on One-Winged Angel alone.
Done to here otherwise.

Accidental Kill isn't a trope that exists (or ever has to the best of our knowledge), but somehow it has a video example anyway ("A Horribly Unfortunate Spy")
Might fit better under Accidental Aiming Skills??? There's definitely some trope for this so it doesn't need to be completely removed
Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.![]()

Sorry, but next time please give the video name, not the linked tropes. Some of those tropes still have a ton of videos needed to search through and giving us the name makes it much easier to find them in a list. I ended up doing my own thing (breaking the redirect to Machinima.Team Fortress 2 to directly access the videos linked to it) and cleared them all, using my own discretion as to which ones should be merged where, though I think it came out more or less aligned with your list anyway.
![]()
Moved it to Accidental Aiming Skills for now.
Thanks for all the work. Two that were missed:
For the video "Red vs Blue" (Art Evolution), please change the title to: Red vs. Blue engine update
For "Bow Chicka Bow Wow" on Catchphrase, please make the following source changes:
I see well if you want to know the names of the video examples well here they are the Damage-Increasing Debuff video example is under the name Sap, the One-Winged Angel video example is under the name Jasper Unbound and the Spam Attack video example is under the name Sylvando Have A Ball. All I ask is for somebody to remove the current media links on these videos and replace it with these two Dragon Quest and Dragon Quest XI, I apologize I am not always great at explaining things though I do try my best to get my point across so I hope this post explains it better.

The recently-approved Rick and Morty video for Killer Rabbit, "Mr Frundles", has a few typos in its description. The current one reads as follows:
The adorable looking alien Mr. Frundles, can turn anything it bites, wether it be living or inanimate into a copy of itself with the same abilities. Once unleashed it takes less than a minute for it to completely effect the entire planet turning it into a barren wasteland forcing the family to move dimensions.
A corrected version would go like this:
The adorable-looking alien Mr. Frundles can turn anything it bites, whether it be living or inanimate, into a copy of itself with the same abilities. Once unleashed, it takes less than a minute for it to completely affect the entire planet, turning it into a barren wasteland and forcing the family to move dimensions.

Be kind.The video "Baldr tanks the demons." from Bayonetta on The Worf Effect should be moved to The Worf Barrage.
C is for Cookie (Ode to Food): There are two C is for cookie videos, can you please deleted the older quality one (the one that has a cow at the beginning of the video) and keep the higher quality one?
Mrs. Puff guess right (If Only You Knew): Can you add SpongeBob SquarePants S1E4 "Naughty Nautical Neighbors" / "Boating School" as a media source?
"Tommy's Shock" in Wild Take should have Screams Like a Little Girl as a secondary trope. At the end, Tommy lets out a girly stock scream when he sees that the aliens brought all his boxes back upstairs.
"Gru's introduction" in Establishing Character Moment should have Bait-and-Switch Character Intro because, in the first half of the video, Gru seems like a nice guy at first when he gives a kid a balloon animal, only to pop it just then.

Oh, I believe in yesterdayPer consensus
on the Surprisingly Realistic Outcome cleanup thread, remove the Cosmic Flame Squirrel video for it.
Everything on VideoExamples.John Wick John Wick can all have Characters.John Wick John Wick removed from their sources.
Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.![]()
The Planetes Surprisingly Realistic Outcome video should be moved to Smash Cut since it actually depicts that trope.
On "Bender's Big Score: Uncanceled" on Leaning on the Fourth Wall, please add Biting-the-Hand Humor as a secondary trope, as the video is bluntly mocking the show's cancellation by FOX.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

On VideoExamples.Red Vs Blue The Blood Gulch Chronicles, the following source changes:
- Machinima.Red Vs Blue to WebAnimation.Red Vs Blue
- Machinima.Red Vs Blue The Blood Gulch Chronicles to WebAnimation.Red Vs Blue The Blood Gulch Chronicles
are needed for the following videos:Also for the video "Red vs Blue" (Art Evolution), please change the title to: Red vs. Blue engine update
and change the description from
