I wonder... When that was attempted, it seems the Laconic was already made
...
We know that custom titles are shared between all namespaces of a title, or some other relation? Might that have affected things?

Magnificent Bastard, Dungeons & Dragons:
"Strahd is well known to a charming, manipulative and dangerous man," should be "Strahd is well known to be a charming, manipulative and dangerous man,"
Also, there seems to be a copy-paste partial repeat error at the bottom of his entry.

On YMMV.Mumkey Jones, "The Chris Carter Effect" example has several grammatical errors and is described as "subverted", when YMMV can't be played with. I believe this can be deleted.
Furthermore, please swap in:
My sandbox edits were solely cleanup-related; alphabetizing trope lists, un-spoiler-tagging and un-potholing trope names in the main lists, hiding ZCEs, etc. Thank you very much!On WebVideo.The Irate Gamer, remove this example:
- Continuity Reboot: What he's seemingly been doing ever since the show went HD.
Looking at the series, there are so many callbacks and returning characters from the pre-HD era in the post-HD episodes, that I really don't think this counts. Plus reviewers tend to have looser continuities anyway.

A heads up: the Amphibia season finale is due to air tomorrow night
. Since the pages were locked due to people posting leaked content from that episode, they can presumably all be unlocked once the episode has aired.
EDIT: I accidentally wrote "Western Amphibia" as the namespace the first time instead of "Western Animation" which is hilarious to me for some reason.

Ukrainian Red CrossI have an edit request for the YMMV section of the RayFox page; today I decided to briefly look it over it since it's been a month, and I feel like something I wrote feels a bit outta place.
A long time ago, I had originally written this under Unintentionally Sympathetic:
- Summer comes off as abrasive in the first two chapters she appears in, especially towards Ray, but its actually understandable in her case. Its implied she had a rough upbringing and had to work to get where she is. Ray, on the other hand, just got accepted after putting on a show when fighting the Port Town Gang and Liev twice, the latter of which eventually caused Asuka to recruit him, which is in direct contrast to her. Add the fact that her job is at risk by the time the third chapter hits because of Asuka's lack of foresight, and its hard not to sympathize with her given that she had to go through a lot of hardship while Ray had very little, even if she isn't the primary protagonist.
This is the only part of Unintentionally Sympathetic I want gone; not the entire trope, because in hindsight, I don't really remember him portraying her as bad or good compared to some of the other characters and that one doesn't fit as good as others do. But everything else? I stand by that. I'm haven't read it at all since book #3 last summer so if anyone wants to make changes to that later, that's on them; just don't try to take it down simply on the basis because "the fans". Thanks for your time and have a good day.

Main.Trucks has a ghost wick to Tonka Tough, which has been merged with Made of Indestructium per TRS
.
Requesting the main pages for Amphibia be unlocked. They were locked to prevent spoilers from the season two final that had been leaked, but the episodes official release has come and gone so the reason for its lock no longer applies.

Pls stop calling everything Harsher in Hindsight
For CurbStompBattle.Death Battle
(All discussed in this thread
)
Please replace the existing season 2 Ryu vs Scorpion entry with this, as the current one does not highlight the trope.
- Ryu vs Scorpion was a brutal affair. While Ryu was incredibly powerful, his strongest attacks simply were not enough to put Scorpion down for good. The one move Ryu had that could instantly destroy Scorpion for good (The Soul-Destroying "Raging Demon"), also happened to be both a move Ryu was inexperienced with, and one that the teleporting ninja could avoid easily. Meanwhile Scorpion had the more reliable means to put Ryu down instantly, by simply teleporting him into a pool of lava and having him burn to death. Amazingly the fight manages to become even more one-sided once Scorpion decides to take the fight to the Netherrealm, as his own strength increases indefinitely and continually while there, allowing him to (easily) outlast Ryu before delivering a finishing blow.
Please replace the stub (season 6) Aang vs Edward Elric entry with the following:
- Aang vs. Edward Elric: has the Avatar take it. Aang has more options in his arsenal than Edward does at any given moment. While Edward's greatest strength feat measures around 30 Kilotons of TNT, Aang is about 5 times stronger. This strength difference meant that Aang could easily destroy Edward's Automail Arm, preventing his use of Combat Alchemy (which requires him to clap his hands). The speed difference was also clear-cut, as Edward's bullet-dodging feat is nothing compared to Aang being able to react to lightning, and while Ed has potentially lightning-level reaction feats as well, Aang's seismic sense on top of his reflexes further puts the advantage in his corner. Theoretically, Edward does possess the option to equal Aang's power output, but that is a big theoretical. It would require him to sacrifice his life force like a Philosopher's Stone and even then, the duration is far too short (since he's using his own singular soul rather than a massive collection) and the risk is far more dangerous compared to Aang's Avatar state, which has no such trade-offs whatsoever. Aang just had too much power, speed, and versatility for Edward to compete with. In the fight animation proper, we see Aang either dodging or blocking every attack Ed throws at him, while he's able to keep landing blows.
Remove the (following) last bulletin under Green Lantern vs Ben 10 as there is no reason to think a Ben 10 hypothetical win would be a stomp (season 6 again).
- Amusingly, they did this match up believing that Ben would win, only to find out he doesn't after researching Green Lantern. So this was always supposed to be a curbstomp, but not the way they intended.
Sasuke is referred to as Sasuka in the Sasuke vs Hiel entry (season 6 again), that could be fixed.
Two recent additions to season 8's folder (they'd be after the existing example).
- "Lex Luthor VS Doctor Doom" ended with one supervillain firmly on top. Lex's suit was noted to be stronger and slightly faster than Doom's own, but Doom could use the Cosmic Power Siphon to steal the energy from the Mother Box powering it Explanation . Doom also had a multitude of options that would let him win without a fight; he could turn Lex to chrome, blast him with antimatter, scramble his nerves, or swap minds with him, all of which Lex would be unable to defend against. At the end of the day, while Lex's arsenal let him put up a semblance of a fight, Doctor Doom simply had too many methods of resisting and bypassing all of them.
- "Blake VS Mikasa" was decisively in Blake's favor. Blake had the better gear and skillset, with Gambol Shroud alone outclassing both Mikasa's swords & ODM Gear, while her Shadow Semblance had a myriad of uses which made her hard to pin down. Blake was also much faster Explanation . Aura also made Blake much more durable, meaning that the only way Mikasa could put her down was with her Thunder Spears. This highlighted Mikasa's greatest disadvantage however: her Crippling Overspecialization. The Thunder Spears (along with most of Mikasa's tools and skills), are meant to be used against Titans, which are mostly big, slow targets. She was ill-equipped for fighting an agile Cat Girl Ninja like Blake, who could easily dodge most of what Mikasa can throw at her, including the Thunder Spears. Even Mikasa's Genetic Memory consisted mostly of Titan-fighting experience, which wasn't applicable to this fight. While the animation appeared close, with Blake losing an arm during the fight, the ending analysis didn't really try to hide that it couldn't have ended any other way.

Disambig Needed: Help with those issues! tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13324299140A37493800&page=24#comment-576As discussed on the Launch Platform; now that Word-O Name is a trope, it's female equivalent Word A Name should become a redirect to this trope. Can someone do this please?
So, a troper named Aquillion recently made a massive edit on Beast: The Primordial, which he justifies on the behalf of "fix, don't reply". I couldn't help but notice he removed most of the positive points or defenses of the game and added more negative points, restauring the page to a previous state of being mostly about complains. This also has resulted in the Broken Base and Critical Backlash no longer fitting their definition (since the former only contains the complains without mentioning the other side, while the later is now just mentioning the criticisms instead of being the opposite of Hype Backlash.
I figure this should be called out, and since this has happened before, I would maybe recommand restauring the page to its pre-edit form and locking it.
