You edited the wrong part of Monster.Pokemon. Sorry, I should have been more clear.
The sentence that currently reads:
Ardos is fully involved and supportive of Cipher's worst atrocities, involving the mass corruption of Pokémon into becoming unfeeling Shadow Pokémon-whereupon they'll be rendered unable to be purified and massed into an army through which Cipher will control the world.
should read:
Ardos is fully involved and supportive of Cipher's worst atrocities, involving the mass corruption of Pokémon into becoming unfeeling Shadow Pokémon—whereupon they'll be rendered unable to be purified and massed into an army through which Cipher will control the world.
An extra - should be added.
And the sentence that currently reads:
When Greevil is defeated, Ardos, in a last moment of desperation, attempts to cajole his father into killing the child protagonist by wiping out their base on Citadark Isle—-taking all his subordinates in the building with it, to which Ardos merely scoffs "such things can be replaced".

Berserk Button: misusing Nightmare Fuel
Could this be added to YMMV.Death Battle under Broken Base? This was discussed in the cleanup thread
and is based on my observations of multiple discussions over the course several months, so I'm sure it's a good example.
- "Flash VS Sonic" was highly debated ever since it was announced, and the discussion has not gotten any less intense since then. Because Archie Sonic and Wally West both have very loosely defined limits, fans of both characters contest Death Battle's claim that The Flash would win in a very close fight. However, while a large portion of the fanbase believes that the fight should have been described as a Curb-Stomp Battle, there is much disagreement about who should have won. Fans of Sonic claim that he was lowballed, as he's a high-level Reality Warper who should be able to delete his opponent from existence on a whim, while The Flash's supporters point out that Death Battle itself states that he can No-Sell anything Sonic can throw at him, making his victory a Foregone Conclusion. That's on top of those who do agree with the episode's analysis, and those who are mainly upset at the episode continuing DC Comics' win streak against non-Marvel franchises.
Requesting that Their Own Worst Enemy be redirected to His Own Worst Enemy.
Hugging a Vanillite will give you frostbite.On JustForFun.Chekovs Gun, please remove the line about Grays Anatomy, as it is now a redlink. (This is a relic of when both Gray's Anatomy and the TV series Grey's Anatomy were in Main/, so it's unnecessary anyway.)
2025: the year it all ends?I initially planned to create a draft
to list biology simulators such as Sim Life and 'Video Game/Spore'' but some posters told it would be better to create a redirect to Life Simulation Game.
EDIT: Requesting Biology Simulator to be created as a redirect to Life Simulation Game

On Administrivia.Locked Pages, please change the text of the NightmareFuel.Gen Lock listing to this:
Frequent misuse and edit warring over changes made by the cleanup thread.

Please make the following edit to Sex Slave:
- In When Taekwondo Strikes, the members of the Bansan Karate School, a Thug Dojo that's a front for the Japanese Secret Service, kidnap Korean women for use as comfort women.
Can News Of The World be created and the following added to it:
News of the World may refer to
- News of the World (Queen), the 1977 studio album from Queen.
- News of the World (2020), the 2020 Western.
Request to remove the last sentence "See also..." on JustForFun.Chekovs Gun - is now a red link because Literature.Grays Anatomy got deleted.
Point-and-Click Game is currently an index for games with that interface, but the term "Point-and-Click" is most commonly associated with point-and-click Adventure Games, so how about Point And Click Adventure (and / or Point And Click Adventure Game) as a redirect for either Point-and-Click Game or Adventure Game?

Can Talking Typography, Anthropomorphic Alphabet, Living Typography, and Living Letters please be made as redirects to Anthropomorphic Typography?

Working on Sandbox.The Amazing Race TV Tropes Edition.
That second one has a typo, it should be Anthropomorphic Alphabet
Can Characters.Harleys Crew be moved to Characters.Harley Quinn Harleys Crew, so it can be in line with the other subpages on Characters.Harley Quinn 2019?
Please remove the Mondegreen wick from Final Fantasy VII. It's IUEO.
Edit: Also, WWEOTE is making a ghost-wick to it.

Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallI noticed a troper by the name of MCE had put in an entry for "Cast from calories" on the main trope page itself, and I figured I'd do em' the favor of adding it to the main page of the RayFox page. Here's what they wrote:
- Cast from Calories: Metas require large amounts of calories to use their powers. Ray finds this out when he passes out after being a few days away from home cooking.
Whether or not this is actually true, I've no idea; All I know is this troper put that there and I'm assuming that it's accurate given that their past troping indicates so. I've not read book #4 (having started with book #3 in the winter before the previous one, then 1 and 2 during last summer), not even outta bile fascination, so I have no idea and nor do I really wish to go and confirm it...maybe someday I will but for now, it's a hard no.
Also, while I'm here...about this YMMV entry of mine:
- Broken Base: From chapters 1-2, you have one half of the base who thinks Ray's imprisonment is justified since he caused a lot of property destruction and law-breaking, often shouting "realism" and the reasoning that no one seeing Ray's heroism negates it... and then you have the other half that thinks it isn't, that the society of Meva City and the law is a complete trainwreck, and that property damage shouldn't overshadow the fact that Ray has done a better job at fighting crime than anyone else at the moment regardless of the mishaps that occurred.
I'd like to switch out "half" with "part"; while there are definitely people of the latter side in this YMMV entry (though not as vocal as the former, admittedly), the fanbase isn't that big from what I could tell, so in hindsight the way I wrote this trope made it sound like it was on a bigger scale than it really was by saying "half".
I'm not saying delete the trope; it does belong there. I'm just saying edit those two bits so that it comes off as less grandiose, know what I mean?
That's about all I can think of regarding that page for now...probably won't have anymore to add after that for obvious reasons I stated earlier, unless there's anything of mine in YMMV I wish to either edit or remove later.

It's 5 o' clock somewhere!Hello. So, I've just completed the hard split of works under "Freedom Fighters" name and would like to request to make a disambiguation page for Freedom Fighters.
Here's my proposed writeup:
- A comic book or its 2018 reboot;
- A video game;
- A sprite series fan crossover between Sonic the Hedgehog and Freedom Planet.
- Also Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters?
There's also a toyline called Freedom Fighters, but it has no page, so whatever
On Chekov's Gun, for the Neon Genesis Evangelion entry, please change the wick from Not a Subversion to Not a Deconstruction.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.So here's what I've got for this week:
- Magnificent Bastard to Magnificent Bastard Quotes
- Anime & Manga to Magnificent Bastard Anime And Manga
- Fan Works to Magnificent Bastard Fan Works
- Film to Magnificent Bastard Film
- Literature to Magnificent Bastard Literature
- Tabletop Games to Magnificent Bastard Tabletop Games
- Video Games to Magnificent Bastard Video Games
- Visual Novels to Magnificent Bastard Visual Novels
- Western Animation to Magnificent Bastard Western Animation
- Star Wars to Magnificent Bastard Star Wars
- DC Animation to Magnificent Bastard DC Animation
- Marvel Cinematic Universe to Magnificent Bastard Marvel Cinematic Universe
- Arrowverse to Magnificent Bastard Arrowverse
- The Elder Scrolls to Magnificent Bastard The Elder Scrolls
- EXA_PICO to Magnificent Bastard Exa Pico
Please lock:
Thanks as always!
