Cut List - queries and restoration requests

Go To

If you just want to cut a page, you can submit it to the Cut List here. You don't need to post in this thread for that.

As mentioned on the Cut List page itself, cutting is generally seen as a last resort. If it's a Work page for a valid work, we may ask if there have been other attempts to save it. If it's a subpage, we may want to confirm that examples are being moved, not lost entirely.

Cut requests that don't have a reason will be declined.


Posts here may cover the following topics:
  • Mod or engineer posts confirming that a cut has been declined.
  • Queries about recovering or restoring a page that's already been cut.
  • Queries about next steps for pages where a cut request was declined (e.g. due to very high inbounds).
  • General Cut List policy questions.

You can see a list of recently cut articles here.

I don't see it in the cut list.

What you did was blank the page (Webseries.Tetro Danganronpa Pink). Two things to take note of:

  1. Webseries/ is not a valid namespace. Check the Namespace page's "Media Namespaces" folder for what this work may fit.
  2. It was already a stub when you made it (only has a description, it should also have three examples with context to not be a stub), and so is Characters.Tetro Danganronpa Pink (only empty folders) - they need more work. I suggest moving the contents of both pages to Sandbox.Tetro Danganronpa Pink and develop the work page (and subpages) more before officially (re)making them.

I've cutlisted a few subpages of Be Careful What You Wish For that are intended for the Goosebumps book in what appears to be an incomplete page split, however there is an issue with the Characters page — it is currently a redirect with over 600 inbound links, but this effectively leaves a Characters/ tab for a trope?

The page for the short film Film.Two Distant Strangers was cut, creating red links in 12 articles and abandoning 2178 inbound links. However, the cut reason is as follows:

The Trivia tab for this film only has the 'Overshadow by Controversy' trope, which belongs on the YMMV tab and has been added there. As such, there is no reason for the Trivia tab to be there in the first place.

This seems to imply that whoever requested the cut meant to request the cut of a Trivia page. However, Trivia.Two Distant Strangers was also cut, with the reason: "The one entry is an Overshadowed by Controversy entry, which is already on the proper YMMV page." The Laconic and YMMV pages still exist.

Does anyone know what happened here? Can the Film/ page be uncut and restored to how it was, or would it have to be recreated entirely?

The cutlist itself seems clear enough on how to challenge and it's easier for us moderators to notice a challenge in a discussion page than in this thread. I'll retitle the thread.

Not so much a request, but could a mod look into the history of AuthorsSavingThrow.Western Animation to see if there are any salvageable examples following the TRS effort (per this query)?

[up][up] Here's what was on there before it was made into a redirect:

Shows with their own pages:


Individual examples:

    open/close all folders 

    #-L 
  • Adventure Time:
    • "The Red Throne" was considered by many fans as one of, if not, the most reviled and hated episode of the series, due to Finn acting like an immature teenager trying to win Flame Princess back after their already controversial break-up in "Frost and Fire" and "Earth and Water" while trying (and ruining every attempt) to help her reclaim the throne, Cinnamon Bun becoming smart via an Ass Pull and the ending, with Cinnamon Bun saving the day and declaring his love to FP. Season 7's "Bun Bun" not only reunites the two again after not talking to each other for an entire season, but none of the events of "The Red Throne" are mentioned or referenced whatsoever in the episode and the rest of the series, meaning that most of the episode was retconned from the series (that and the Fire Lord being removed from the series due to Roddy Piper's death).
    • While "Stakes" was well received, it was panned for Finn being next to useless against the vampires and being reduced to a comedic side character alongside Jake, not to mention its Status Quo Is God ending. Both of these issues are fixed in "Islands" and "Elements", with the former having a more serious focus on Finn as he tries to find the remaining survivors of the human race, as well as his mother and the latter having Finn and Jake actually doing something to save Ooo with Ice King and Betty. Not only that, but both miniseries ends with significant changes that would affect the rest of the series until its final episode.
    • Everyone expected Finn to lose his arm since "Mortal Folly", to the point where it became an recurring element throhough the series, as it show alternate versions of Finn (from other universes, past incarnations or alternate futures) with his right arm either missing or replaced with a robotic one. When it finally happened during the Season 6 premiere, despite the shocking moment, no one was surprised. And then, four episodes later, Finn recovers his arm at the end of "Breezy", which angered a lot of fans. This issue was later addressed in the Season 7 finale "Reboot", where not only Finn loses his arm for good, which unites itself with the Finn Sword, fusing together and becoming Fern in the process, but he also gets a robotic arm in the Season 8 premiere.
  • Adventure Time: Distant Lands: Despite "Come Along With Me" receiving critical acclaim by critics, it is considered one of the most divisive finales of the decade, with the number one reason being Finn and Jake's role in it: reduced to secondary characters, having no major role whatsoever during the second half, Finn not partaking in the final battle against GOLB and spending the majority of the episode Eaten Alive alongside Simon and Betty, no closure to his love life and having no significant scenes during the ending montage other than the end. The third special of the Distant Lands miniseries, "Together Again", adresses most of the criticism from the finale, being advertised as the definitive finale to Finn and Jake's adventures, as the special is centered around Finn and Jake reuniting themselves after their deaths in the Death Worlds, culminating in a final battle against the returning Lich before their reincarnation. However, most is the keyword: while it addressed a lot of the issues from the finale, some of the issues from it, like the lack of closure to Finn's love life and what happened to Ooo after the finale, aren't adressed.
  • Arcane: One longstanding criticism of League of Legends is the lack of variation regarding its female character designs, where even with more recent female champions, they tend to have similarly slim builds and generically "pretty" faces regardless of their background. Arcane addresses this and adds more variation among the women, and also isn't afraid of having them looking realistically "plain" even within its stylized art style. Preexisting female champions get subtle tweaks that make them better stand out among each other and feel more appropriate, such as giving Vi actual defined muscles.
  • Bob's Burgers:
    • The episode "Best Burger" is one for the much-maligned "Family Fracas", giving us another competition between Bob and Jimmy Pesto, with Chuck Charles overseeing the event. While Bob still does not win, Jimmy crashes and burns hard, the contest between Bob and a famous chef is an incredibly close run, the winner was a deserving Nice Guy, and the restaurant picks up a significant amount of business on the back of it.
      • As a whole, the reaction to this episode made the writers learn that it's just not fun for the audience when the characters they root for lose for no reason and the Hate Sink wins. Subsequent episodes show Jimmy Pesto and Hugo either as laughably incompetent or losing for their efforts to do things in the most jerkish way possible.
    • "All That Gene" serves as one to "Gene It On" by being another episode about Linda and Gene's relationship. "Gene It On" had Linda desperately wanting to live vicariously through Gene's cheerleading and smothers him in attention to do just that until Gene finally snaps at her and she declares he's "not her favorite anymore." "All That Gene" shows Linda genuinely wants to help Gene get the part of Quiet Eli because she believes in him, but the lengths of bribing the director undermine her best interests and causes a rift between them before Linda makes amends. The problem with "Gene It On" being Linda doesn't really learn why she was wrong to treat Gene the way she did, while "All That Gene" has Linda making a well-intentioned mistake for the sake of supporting something Gene really wanted to do and then making a better effort to offer him true support.
  • BoJack Horseman: Despite its public and critical acclaim, many fans felt that Season 3 was unreasonably punitive of BoJack, and that he didn't deserve most of what happened to him, despite his previous actions. The Downer Ending to his plotline while everyone else's ended on a positive note didn't help. Season 4 appears to be made with this in mind; BoJack makes major strives in more positive Character Development, makes some amends with his mother, finally manages to not destroy a relationship with his half-sister Hollyhock, and several of his broken friendships are, if not mended, then at least patched up. BoJack even gets to drop the season's sole F-bomb. His own ending is an unambiguous Hope Spot, while the overall angst is about evenly divided by the Ensemble Cast, with Diane and Mr. Peanutbutter's marriage breakdown, Princess Carolyn's miscarriages and Todd's sexuality issues.
  • Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood had the episode "Daniel Can't Ride Trolley; Daniel Can't Get What He Wants". Both segments in the episode had a moral of "stomp your feet when you get angry and you will feel better". Unfortunately, this seemed very similar to a temper tantrum in the eyes of most parents. A Re-Cut version of this episode was made in 2019, with some scenes edited and the line "stomp three times" redubbed with "Take a deep breath".
  • Ed, Edd n Eddy: The episode "Here's Mud In Your Ed" seems to be more of an apology to fans who hated "If It Smells Like an Ed" due to the fact that Jimmy went too far with his retribution and framed all three Eds when it was only Eddy who humiliated him. In the former episode, Jimmy tells Rolf that only Eddy tricked him out of his money, and they both come up with a funnier, more harmless joke to play on Eddy, and only Eddy, in retaliation.
  • Family Guy:
    • After the backlash Season 7 got for portraying Brian's ultra-liberal preaching in the right, following seasons will usually have characters point out the absurdity of a dog lecturing people about politics.
    • After Quagmire was rewritten into a Take That, Scrappy! avatar who loathed and called out Brian on a regular basis, some fans complained it was overdone or skewed due to Quagmire's own shortcomings. Later episodes Took a Third Option and made Brian hate Quagmire back, with both characters trading equal blows and calling out each other's hypocrisies, usually with neither character portrayed as particularly more moral than the other.
    • One of the show's most contentious running gags is the family's poor treatment of Meg, which many have felt comes across as overly mean-spirited and disturbing. Starting around season 14, jokes about Meg being abused were almost entirely phased out, with the family becoming far more sympathetic and caring towards her. When she is occasionally shown to be mistreated by people, she is just as likely to fight back against them (sometimes even initiating the conflict). In "Pawtucket Pat", Meg randomly throws her shoe at Peter's face; in "Hefty Shades of Grey", she mischievously ignores her father's pleas for help after the latter is locked in the basement; and in "Fecal Matters", she pulls painful pranks on the family after being granted Super-Speed.
  • In Season 1 of Final Space, One of the things Gary was criticized for by a half of the fanbase was his habit of Suddenly Shouting. By Season 2, he doesn't scream his lines nearly as often.
  • Godzilla: The Series does this for Godzilla (1998) by way of Contrasting Sequel Main Character. Zilla Junior, unlike his father, possesses a more traditional atomic ray and shows himself to have a higher degree of sentience than his predecessor, as well as having the regenerative capabilities and durability of the original Godzilla. Though he is still drastically different from any japanese Godzillas (and a fair bit more heroic), this helped make the character and the cartoon more popular than the original movie.
  • Gravity Falls:
    • Fans gave a great deal of backlash at "The Time Traveler's Pig" for Dipper and Mabel's Protagonist-Centered Morality in getting Blendin' Blandin in trouble while they get off scot-free of the trouble they caused to the timeline. "Blendin's Game" has Dipper and Mabel feeling bad for what they did to him and helped him get back his job, and got him a head of hair.
    • In "The Time Traveler's Pig" and "The Deep End", Dipper has to sacrifice his potential happiness for Mabel, causing fans to complain that she never even considers doing the same. In "Sock Opera," Bill Cipher actually uses this argument, and Mabel's treatment of him in that episode, to trick Dipper into letting Bill steal his body. When Mabel confronts "Bipper" at the end of the episode, he almost talks her into sacrificing Dipper for her own happiness...only for her to remember how often he helped her and refuse, saving the day.
    • "Into The Bunker" was written to rescue Wendy from the Scrappy heap. She's shown to be an Action Girl who's a huge asset on a dangerous mission; she also lets Dipper down gently when he confesses his crush.
  • House of Mouse:
  • Invincible (2021):
    • Now that he has much more writing experience, Robert Kirkman greatly regrets waiting so long to kill off the Guardians, a Shocking Moment that doesn't happen until Issue #7. The show does it in the first episode after giving us just barely enough time to get attached — if it had happened when it was originally set, it would've happened around the first half of the season and likely wouldn't have attracted as much attention.
    • Nolan's fight with the Guardians is significantly expanded on, as Nolan's claim of killing for the sake of weakening Earth's defenses comes off as borderline Narm when they were easily taken care of and evidently not a threat to the Viltrumite. Here, there's more weight to the reasoning.
    • Monster Girl is not nearly as flirtatious as she was in her source material, the furthest she gets is playful banter. This makes her character easier to swallow for many people, as someone in a prepubescent girl's body throwing out solicitations strongly veered into Squick territory.
    • Several female characters have received more focus and development than they do in the comics where they were more satellite characters. Notable examples being Debbie and Amber.
    • The moment Robot reveals to the Guardians of the Globe that he's a human in a cloned body of Rex's teen self is actually treated like an issue. In the comics, the moment was brushed over pretty much immediately, but here, the whole team is concerned with the revelation and many fans were appreciative of the subsequent interactions as a result.
  • In Justice League, a three-part episode ("The Savage Time") revolves around the Justice League trying to Set Right What Once Went Wrong after Vandal Savage usurps control of the Nazis and uses them to conquer the world by way of time travel. They succeed, but the episode ends with Hitler about to be cryogenically defrosted and restored to power. This led to a massive fan-outcry, to the widespread Fridge Horror that this implied the Justice League had blithely restored the Holocaust in the process of returning to their own world. It got so bad the producers publicly stated that Vandal's manipulations meant that Hitler had neither the time nor the resources to enact the Holocaust, having been frozen before he could start and then put back in charge during the end of the Nazis' reign over Germany.
    • When Brainiac makes his return, he created a skullship. It's design is more closer to the comics and is meant to address complaints some people had with the other skullship that appeared in Static Shock.
    • During the first season, Superman had the tendency of being defeated by a number of villains frequently, sometimes in ways that wouldn't logically incapacitate him, which netted complaints. The writers caught on and the second and Unlimited seasons brought him more in line with how he was back in Superman: TAS, which resulted in him not being knocked down as easily.
  • Kaeloo:
    • In the first season, there was a Courtroom Episode where Kaeloo wins against Mr. Cat by emotionally manipulating him and then harshly punishes him despite him being nice to her for once. This episode was hated by nearly the entire fandom, who thought the episode was too unfair to Mr. Cat. Then, Season 3 had another Courtroom Episode, and this time around, Mr. Cat won by hoisting Kaeloo by her own petard, which the fans thought she deserved.
    • Episodes like "Let's Play Golf" and "Let's Play Danger Island Survivor" prove that Kaeloo is not a Karma Houdini after all, assuaging the wrath of fans who watched the episodes where Kaeloo does get away with some pretty shitty stuff.
    • Fans of the series who felt like Mr. Cat and Stumpy got too much screen time were pretty happy with Episode 149, where Mr. Cat does not appearnote  and Stumpy is relegated to a minor/supporting character while Kaeloo and the bunny twins get more focus.
    • Many fans of the show felt annoyed by Kaeloo's constant manipulation of Mr. Cat's emotions and her using his love for her against him. In Episode 108, we get to see her emotional blackmail backfire on her while Mr. Cat watches with a confident smirk.
    • In Episode 171, we find out that Mr. Cat's constant tiredness is his own fault for staying up late at night instead of sleeping, assuaging fans' fears that he was sleep deprived because of the other characters bothering him while he tried to sleep.
  • Kid vs. Kat: Season 2 fixed many of the issues people had with season one. Coop's Butt-Monkey status was toned down while giving him some victories over Kat, the supporting characters became much more likeable and active (and in some of The Scrappy characters weren't as dislikable compared to Season 1), Coop's new ally and love interest Fiona added more variety to the show and the writing overall improved.
  • The extensive Love Triangle subplot between Korra, Mako, and Asami in Book 1 of The Legend of Korra was widely panned as bring rushed, getting in the way of the real story involving the Equalists, and ultimately feeling shallow and unsatisfying. Season 4 featured a Clip Show episode with the first segment exclusively dedicated to Mako's messy love life, with side characters pointing out all the mistakes that Mako made. Mako ends up agreeing with them and admitting his mistakes, in what was basically an apology to the fans. In general, Book 3 was this after Book 2 in correcting numerous mistakes from re-railing several characters that had been become jerks, idiots and/or weak, giving a proper reason for why Korra had been secluded instead of the White Lotus messing up Aang's wishes, more compelling and cooler villains to overall getting back to the franchise's Central Theme that meant the women were rivaling the men in competence again.
  • The The Lion King (1994) spin-off The Lion Guard's very first episode addressed the long term criticism of The Lion King promoting "segregation" of the hyenas and the portrayal of them as evil. Jasiri is the first non-antagonistic hyena introduced in the series (the second if you count book canon), and she mentions that the roles hyenas play are just as much a part of the Circle of Life as the lions. It goes so far as to Retcon away the evil nature of hyenas; apparently, they're mostly good as a species, it's just The Pride Lands have coincidentally seen more evil ones than good ones.
    • A common discussion among Lion King fans is the identity of Nala's father—Mufasa and Scar seem to be the only male lions in their pride, but either one of them would have troubling implications for her and Simba's romance. The show has an episode confirming that he's some other male lion who isn't around for some reason. (We also learn that there used to be a bunch of other male lions whom Scar killed, so that might explain it.)

    M-Z 
  • My Little Pony Tales: After "Too Sick to Notice" and "Battle of the Bands" had the characters receive extremely minor scoldings from their parents for their actions note  this episode does it better; while Miss Hackney is relieved Patch and Bon Bon are safe and sound, she places greater focus on scolding them for their irresponsible behavior.
  • A lot of people hated Nina Needs to Go! because Nina kept saying it would never happen again but it did. Later episodes would have her learn additional lessons that did stick.
  • The Powerpuff Girls: Many fans did NOT like Rainbow's fate at the end of the Season One episode "Mime For A Change". Perhaps to rectify this, he is seen again at the girls' birthday party in the season two episode "Birthday Bash" as a free and happy clown. What helps is that the writers never intended to hurt Rainbow at the end of "Mime".
  • The Real Ghostbusters: Janine, Sassy Secretary Trope Codifier, was given a very bad case of Chickification mandated by Executive Meddling. But then J. Michael Straczynski was able to throw the override switch. The episode "Janine, You've Changed," gave Janine an In-Universe explanation; a demon had been influencing Janine the entire time, playing on her insecurities and unrequited crush on Egon. When she and the guys find out about this, Janine steps up and turns the demon's own powers back on her, banishing the demon and rejecting the influence it had on her.
  • In Season 4 of Rick and Morty Beth and Jerry's "relationship" is barely even touched on, and when it is it's typically very briefly to set up a joke. This is in direct response to fans coming to dislike the two and how their marriage problems were focused too much on, particularly in Season 3 where they bordered on taking the spotlight from the titular Rick and Morty, and fans complaining that Beth and Jerry are much more interesting and entertaining characters when they're not constantly padding episodes with their relationship drama.
  • The Simpsons:
    • In the episode "Brother, Can You Spare Two Dimes?" was hastily developed and tacked onto the end of Season 3 after the negative response to the Downer Ending of Season 2's "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?", and specifically overrides said Downer Ending, with Herb regaining his fortune and reconciling with Homer.
    • The episode "The Principal and the Pauper" was widely derided for its revelation that Seymour Skinner was actually a former petty thug named Armin Tamzarian who assumed the real Skinner's identity after the latter went missing in action in Vietnam, made even worse by the fact that the real Skinner ends the episode expelled from Springfield while the impostor carries on with his life. "Boy Meets Curl" made all that Canon Discontinuity, firmly establishing that the Principal Skinner we've been following is in fact the real Seymour Skinner.
  • The South Park episode "Time to Get Cereal" was widely seen as a repudiation of and apology for the climate-change-denial message of "ManBearPig", to which it is a Sequel Episode.
  • SpongeBob SquarePants: Fans took issue with Mr. Krabs as a Karma Houdini for the past few seasons, but episodes such as "The Cent of Money" have him finally getting some comeuppance.
    • An even better example is the return of the show's creator, Stephen Hillenburg, which is explained in detail in the Animated Films page.
  • Steven Universe:
    • Many fans began to feel that Steven was becoming flanderized as an All-Loving Hero, and were getting weary of Steven simply talking many of his foes out of hostilities (with the worst example being from "Gem Drill"). Season Three rectified this by having Steven's Story Arc revolve around him learning the harsh truth that there are many foes who simply can't be talked down and won't listen to reason. Not only that, but Steven is forced to fight back in self-defense in three of those instances and forced to temporarily shed his pacifistic morals to survive them, finally learning what his father Greg really meant when he lamented the severity of war. And when Jasper is finally defeated during the last episodes of season 3, she rebukes any chance of redemption Steven gives her and refuses to let him save her from succumbing to The Corruption. All of this gives Steven some vital Character Development and also gives the show, with its setting being the aftermath of a brutal war, even more depth and realism and satisfied many fans who felt as if Steven's qualities were being taken to unrealistic levels.
    • One aspect of Gem fusion that made many viewers uncomfortable was the idea of romantic partners giving up their personal autonomy to live full-time as a combined being like Garnet. The Steven Universe: Future episode "Together Forever" addresses this by revealing that Ruby and Sapphire sometimes willingly split (as opposed to when they're arguing or on a mission that requires their separate selves) to pursue their own separate interests. Garnet explains to Steven that a healthy relationship isn't about people completing each other, but complementing, and that her two component Gems still live their own lives independent of each other.
  • In Teen Titans, Cyborg was always shown firing his sonic Arm Cannon from his right arm, until one day he used his left. Fans pointed out this apparent plot hole, and some time later, during a crucial fight, he simply converts both arms to cannons.
  • Several aspects of Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race were written to appease disgruntled fans of Total Drama who felt the latter had gone through serious Seasonal Rot:
    • The length of the Spin-Off went back to 26 episodes instead of 13.
    • The host (Don) was not as sadistic as the previous one (Chris) was.
    • The various romances didn't stifle other plots by hogging all the screentime. They were still there but the longer season meant the writers didn't have to focus on them alone.
    • Owen, one of the franchise's biggest Base Breaking Characters, was rerailed for the first time since Total Drama Island.
    • While the season/show had more Screaming Gophers (Noah and Owen) than Killer Bass (Geoff), the season's only former Killer Bass member made it further than the two former Screaming Gophers. The past seasons, especially Island (where the final three were all Screaming Gophers) and All-Stars (where Gwen was the only season one contestant to be in the final four this season), favored the Gophers more than the Bass.

Bovine Fiction, Bug Works, Canine Fiction, Elephantine Fiction, Equine Fiction and Feline Fiction have all got their cut requests rejected, even when the TRS crowner prescribed removal of all of them. Any reason that the requests got rejected?

'cause they bear significant traffic that would have no place to head to.

Then what can be done? Clearly the results of the crowner mean that they cannot be used as indices now.

The question is why keep them, since they in fact do no have "significant traffic" as far as I see.
