Can somebody remove the wicks to Catchphrase on UsefulNotes.JoeBiden and UsefulNotes.DonaldTrump? Since they're real people, I think it would be appropriate to just remove the wicks instead of changing them to one of the catchphrase tropes. The wick on Biden's page is in his image caption, while Trump's page has one wick in his image caption and another wick listed as a trope (the trope entry is already listed under Elimination Catchphrase on The Apprentice, so the trope entry on Trump's page should also be removed).
Y'ALL JUST GOT SHREKTPlease move the contents of the discussion tab for Film.Back To The Future to Film.Back To The Future 1.
There's a couple of edits I and others would like to make on the Fire Emblem: Three Houses – Edelgard page. We'd posted on the discussion thread for that page, but I'm just now finding out to comment in this thread instead. I'll copy over those edit thoughts here:
- I want to remove the phrase "Edelgard's refusal to compromise," from the Who Will Bell the Cat? entry. I'm pretty sure I'm the one who wrote that part in the first place, but it's redundant with later parts of that sentence.
- Someone else thought that the entry for her for Adaptational Nice Guy isn't correct. I'm inclined to agree because not only because it's not an adaptation but is an alternative take (in the same way that the routes are alternative takes), but also because some of those better qualities listed in the trope are present in Three Houses as well. Remember that in that game Linhardt and Dorothea both point out she can care too much at times, and Seteth and Manuela both point out that people follow her because of her better qualities.
- I wanted to remove the entry for Control Freak. That trope is only one interpretation of "losing control", a term that is listed in the characters "dislikes". However the term is clearly meant to mean something else in the original Japanese - losing her composure. Additionally, the entire entry itself is full of disqualifying points, and more exist. The only pro "control freak" example given is her choosing how she dies in Azure Moon, and we know from the game's main theme and elsewhere that she chooses to die not because of a loss of control, but to give the war a definitive hero in Dimitri and villain in herself. And her entire motivation is to remove the societal restrictions that keep people from following their desired paths.
Other people had suggestions, but I haven't thought about those to that extent they have, so they can post it themselves here if they want.
The sad, REAL American dichotomy
Replacement trope?
Anyways, please make Frenzy a disambig with this formatting:
* ''Fanfic/FrenzyHeroMemory'', a Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog fanfic written by Hero Memory.
* ''Film/Frenzy1972'', the penultimate film of Creator/AlfredHitchcock.
* ''VideoGame/Frenzy1998'', a ShootEmUp game made for the first UsefulNotes/PlayStation.
If a direct wick has led you here, please correct the link so that it points to the corresponding article.

On Spider-Man: Spider-Verse – Spider-Society, there's an red link on Insomniac Spider-Man's folder that's supposed to direct to his own character page. It to be changed to Spider-Man (Insomniac): Peter Parker.
Since this was approved by the "Is this an example?" thread, would it be possible to add this to YMMV.Saints Row 2022?
- Audience-Alienating Premise: Although the game intended to revisit the series' roots following the Denser and Wackier direction taken by The Third and IV, it ended up being a tough sell. Longtime fans were put off by a continuity reboot that focused on a younger college-aged cast turning to crime to pay off student debt, while non-fans found the story and writing to be clichéd and underdeveloped. The game's divisive reception led to Volition being given to Gearbox Software before it shut down a year after the release.
In Political Overcorrectness, please make the following change:
In Jasper Fforde's The Eyre Affair, Acheron (the villain) insists he's differently moraled.
Acheron, the villain of the Thursday Next novel The Eyre Affair, insists he's differently moraled.
Trope Editor (he/him)For Video Games: Q to S, want to ask on changing Spy Fiction to Spy Fiction (2003).
On Miranda Sings, Growing the Beard should be before Harsher in Hindsight.
Please swap the following:
- Magnificent Bastard Animated Films to Animated Films
- Magnificent Bastard Anime And Manga to Anime & Manga
- Magnificent Bastard Batman to Batman
- Magnificent Bastard Castlevania to Castlevania
- Magnificent Bastard Comic Books to Comic Books

Thanks.

Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup threadRequest for "Not If They Enjoyed It" Rationalization under Video Games:
- Played for Laughs in Alpha Protocol. If chosen as Mission Control for the final mission, The Baroness SIE will have her way with Agent Thorton when she finds him Strapped to an Operating Table, even if he protests. The scene shows that he greatly enjoyed it, and the ending notes that he downloaded the security footage of the encounter and rewatched it over a hundred times with intelligence agencies lacking context & believing it to be some vital intel.

By using Report Page button to create the discussion here
and advocating for the Bleached Underpants warning.
My Immortal Should list A-Team Firing rather Than Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy, as the latter is specifically for mooks.
Catchphrase (I don't know how to link that) should be changed to Character Catchphrase, as the former is a disambiguation page.
DarthWiki.Complain About Shows You Dont Like Discussion:
"CharredKnight" to "Tropers/CharredKnight"
"FastEddie" to "Tropers/FastEddie"
"{{Bob}}" to "Tropers/{{Bob}}"
Please preemptively lock Website.Crappy Games Wiki in case it gets created and add a mention about it on Wiki.Crappy Games Wiki's entry on the Permanent Red Link Club.
Is there a reason for this?
On MagnificentBastard.Valkyria Chronicles, please change the Authority Equals Asskicking wick on the entry for Claude Wallace (from Valkyria Chronicles 4) to Asskicking Leads to Leadership, since the former trope is now a disambiguation page.
Requesting to cut the Cool Loser entry on Spider Man Spider Verse Miles Morales as Cool Loser is undergoing a TRS cleanup
, renamed to Unconvincingly Unpopular Character and is a YMMV audience reaction.

Parade:
* [[Theatre/Parade1917 A 1917 ballet]].
* [[Theatre/Parade1998 A 1998 musical]].
* [[Music/ParadeAlbum A music album]].
If a direct wick has led you here, please correct the link so that it points to the corresponding article.
----
Then I need to redirect Theatre.Parade there.
The Village:
* [[Film/TheVillage2004 A 2004 film]].
* [[WesternAnimation/TheVillage1993 A 1993 animated film]].
* [[Series/TheVillage2013 A 2013 series]].
* [[Series/TheVillage2019 A 2019 series]].
If a direct wick has led you here, please correct the link so that it points to the corresponding article.

Then I need to redirect Series.The Village there.
