Hi
Done.
This is the last batch of requests I'll do about the Predefined Messages namespacing.
- There Is No Such Thing As Notability needs to be redirected to There Is No Such Thing as Notability - and probably the latter locked, unless we consider it safe to leave open.
- The Content Policy and the 5P Circuit, Just a Face and a Caption, Locked Pages, Permanent Red Link Club, Rule Of Cautious Editing Judgment, Welcome to TV Tropes and Wikipedia need There Is No Such Thing As Notability namespaced to Administrivia/.
- The Home Page is an odd case: The source
shows 2 namespaceable links Which are... and one unnecessary old indexing markup tag. The displayed page text (which is most likely hard-coded, I suspect) has There Is No Such Thing As Notability and Welcome To TV Tropes that need namespacing.
Also, assuming that the edit functions for the herald messages are linked from the herald page
or the individual message
(The TRS message): The latter needs a Special Efforts link changed to Short Term Efforts
.
Please add the following to No Real Life Examples, Please!:
* FlameWar: Collection of generic entries, and the wiki isn't for cataloging real life flame wars.

The Weapons
—>Appears in: Final Fantasy VII, Before Crisis, Dirge of Cerberus, Crisis Core
Ancient bio-mechanical superweapons created by the planet 2000 years ago to fight Jenova, they were put to rest in the North Crater after she was sealed. The events of the series that throw the planet into crisis again cause them to awaken. Five Weapons appeared in the original game, the expanded Compilation added two more.
- Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: The Weapons are massive, towering over skyscrapers.
- Beam Spam: Most of them attack with an assortment of rays and lasers. Emerald Weapon's four Eyes that accompany it only have one attack, Emerald Laser, so you'll be seeing a lot of it.
- Bonus Boss: All of them except Diamond Weapon are optional encounters. Ultimate Weapon has to be fought once but survives, and can be fought and killed at the player's choosing.
- Boom, Headshot!: Sapphire Weapon gets a point-blank blast from Junon's Mako Cannon, obliterating its head.
- Bragging Rights Reward: The rewards for defeating Ruby and Emerald are rewards that can be traded for a set of unique Master Materia, and a Gold Chocobo. But if you're strong enough to beat them, you've defeated the game's most powerful enemies, so you don't need those items now.
- Breath Weapon: Sapphire Weapon's attack is a blast of energy from its mouth. Ruby Weapon and Ultimate Weapon also fire projectiles from their mouths.
- Casting a Shadow: Ruby Weapon and Ultimate Weapon can cast Shadow Flare.
- Chest Blaster: Ultimate Weapon and Ruby Weapon fire attacks from orbs on their chests.
- Color-Coded Characters: One is red, one is green, one is blue, one is white, and one is black and purple. The additional weapons added in later games are dark green, and silver.
- Combat Tentacles: Ruby Weapon's arms.
- Duel Boss: Ruby Weapon kills off two party members to make the fight one-on-one.
- "Get Back Here!" Boss: Ultimate Weapon fights a few rounds, then flies away to be chased down and fought again until you whittle it down to nothing.
- Godzilla Threshold: They are the Godzilla in the trope name — when the planet is in dire danger or some threat appears that could cause mass destruction, the Weapons awaken to fight it off. Omega is the final one of these — when the other Weapons are gone and the planet is in danger still, it awakens to gather the Lifestream and take it to another planet to escape the threat, leaving the old planet to wither and die.
- Knight Templar: They exist to protect the planet from threats, but their only method for doing so is to destroy those threats.
- Organic Technology: They're 2000-year old bio-mechanical weapons spawned by The Lifestream that appear to have mechanical workings and weapons.
- Playing with Fire: Ruby Weapon's Ruby Flame.
- Purple Is the New Black: Ultimate Weapon is referred to as the black Weapon, but is mostly purple with some black coloring.
- Shock and Awe: Aside from Ultima Beam, Ultimate Weapon attacks by shooting orbs of lightning at party members.
- Shoulder Cannon: Emerald Weapon is armed with four, while Diamond Weapon has a series of flare launchers in its shoulders.
- Theme Naming:
- The Weapons are Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Diamond, and Ultimate. Jade continues the trend, but not Omega, but then Omega is a special member of the group.
- Also carries into their attacks, which are named after them. Diamond Weapon for example uses Diamond Fire and Diamond Flash.
- The Unfought: Sapphire Weapon is destroyed by Shinra before the party ever gets to fight it.

6872: Visual Novels was redirected; I just don't know if we need that AND the combined page on the Complete Monster page. Just seems redundant to me...
Can someone convert Joe Quesada (Main namespace) into a redirect to the Creator version of the page, to preserve inbounds and to properly pick up the wicks until they can be changed to the correct namespace as well?
Expergiscēre cras, medior quam hodie. (Awaken tomorrow, better than today.)Can someone add this trope to No Real Life Examples, Please!
- Gratuitous Nazis: A very large number of people would argue that anytime Nazis show up in Real Life is gratuitous enough. Also, Godwin's Law.

To NRLEP an article, it needs to go through this thread
first, to be voted on in the crowner.
Thanks, and definitely on Dungeons And Dragons. I'll see whether consensus favors its own subpage, or just its own folder.
Here's another section for the director's folder in Monster.Film:
- Neill Blomkamp:
- District 9 had several very nasty monsters...
- Wikus's father in law is a Corrupt Corporate Executive who helps keep the prawns oppressed in the alien ghetto. Initially a cold man, when Wikus is infected and finds himself turning into a prawn himself, his father in law has Wikus taken in and plans to have him vivisected in order to study him further, calmly watching his own son in law beg for his life without even a trace of emotion and later lies to his own daughter about Wikus being a criminal.
- Koobus Venter, a sadistic Blood Knight of a special ops team gets his jollies off murder, and relishes being able to kill without repercussion. Koobus guns down a prawn after it's been subdued and later leads a violent hunt for Wikus, with full willingness to murder whoever gets in the way. Koobus psychologically tortures the Prawn Christopher Johnson while beating him and threatens to kill him regardless of getting Wikus, gleefully saying he can't believe he's getting paid to do hat he loves: he just loves watching the Prawns die.
- Obesandjo, The Evil Cripple wheelchair bound leader of the Nigerian gangsters sets up his racket in District 9 and distributes cat food to the aliens, which is like a drug that keeps them hooked. He also offers 'interspecies prostitution, ' offering them human women. The worst, however, is when he has innocent aliens butchered, so he can eat their flesh and gain their power. When he captures Wikus, he fully plans to cut off his Prawn parts and eat them himself.
- Elysium brings us the truly psychotic Agent Kruger who is first introduced shooting down refugee ships full of men, women and children. We are informed after of Kruger's history of human rights violations, a reputation that he proceeds to live up. He butchers hero Max de Costa's allies and then when he suspects that Max has gone to see his old friend Frey and her daughter, he threatens and beats Frey in front of the girl, mocking the girl to close her eyes as he claims he hates to commit violence in front of kids, before trying to molest Frey. After Frey scorns him, he declares he'll make sure her daughter is never healed. When his superior Delacourt chastises him for his failures, Kruger just kills her and then declares he'll take over Elysium itself to give it the ruler it deserves.
- District 9 had several very nasty monsters...
And while your at it, replace the link to Self-Made Orphan in Gladiator example with Patricide.

Star Wars: Please make the last header Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
EDIT: Also, for the comic part, please change Demagol to Demagol, born as Antos Wyrick, became...
EDIT 2: Actually, scratch the first one, and please put each Star Wars medium in a folder. Also, please slap a Morally Ambiguous Doctorate around Doctor Evazan (Galaxy Of Fear).
Finally, for DC And Vertigo, please change the Swamp Thing entry as follows:
- Anton Arcane from Swamp Thing is a scientist turned Evil Sorcerer obsessed with immortality and its secrets. First seen attempting to steal the Swamp Thing's body, Arcane failed and died in the attempt. His soul, however, returned from hell to steal the body of his niece Abigail Arcane's husband, Matthew Cable. In the guise of Matthew, Anton raped Abigail and consigned her soul to hell in his place. In his new position on earth, Arcane attempted to drive reality itself to insanity, using the souls of resurrected serial killers to cause destruction as the innocent succumb to savage, homicidal urges.
- In the New 52, Anton Arcane's new incarnation is a being of boundless cruelty. In his pursuit of immortality, Arcane took over the elemental force of The Rot, the natural force of death and decay and subsumed it to his will. Arcane extends the Rot to devour all that lives and trap the world in deathless limbo he can rule. Arcane even forced his own nephew to be the Rot's avatar, devouring his mind from within. In Arcane's battles with Swamp Thing, Alec Holland saw a future where Arcane gruesomely tortured and beheaded Abigail and saw lobotomized clones Arcane had made of her as cannon fodder.
EDIT: Also for DC And Vertigo: For Trigon (Teen Titans), that should be ..."demonic overlord who rules an empire where countless souls are kept in horrible bondage,...} (not i horrible bondage...). Please also unspoiler the Transmetropolitan entry.

Check out my site. The George The Animal Steele Fan Page! http://www.angelfire.com/fl3/jasonsite/gsteele.htmlTo Monster.Film, please add Taha from Banlieue 13 with the write-up in this post
, and John Milton/Satan from The Devil's Advocate from this post
. From the same post, Diana from V should be added to Monster.Live Action TV. Anna from V (2009) on the same page was deemed a cut due to redeeming features. My earlier contributions from that thread, mainly to Monster.Film, have already been submitted here by Lightysnake.
On Monster.Disney, please namespace Disney Animated Canon to Disney Animated Canon and Disney Theme Parks to Disney Theme Parks.
On Hollywood Tactics, please change this entry in the live-action tv folder

You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"Also add to Monster.Literature
- Debuting in Book 2 of the Artemis Fowl series, Opal Koboi is a sociopathic pixie. When she got her position at the head of her company, she drove the previous owner, her own father, to insanity. Along with Briar Cudgeon, she organized the Goblin rebellion, taking advantage of the violent nature of the Goblins and planning to betray them to take over. When Holly and Artemis beat her, she plotted her revenge, and unleashed a complex gambit in Book 4. She escaped from prison using a clone duplicate (cloning is considered one of the most immoral things to faeries, as one creates new life which dies easily and cannot think for itself) had Julius Root killed, framing Holly, and then she attacked and Mind Raped a very prominent humanitarian, and had him send a probe down into the earth, to reveal the Faerie people. Doing so she expected to cause a war between the two races, and seize power. In the eighth and Final Book, her past self-came to break her out of prison, and Present!Opal hypnotizes two other pixies, and has them hold her past self, and murder her, while she pleads for her to stop. Having killed her past self, any and all things she has made or influenced in her tech-corp. explode. Communications go down, cars explode, cell-phones and various guns explode, and even the humans have their planes go down in mid air, and global communications stop. She then manipulates a number of Faerie ghosts who have been trapped on earth and want to be released. She has unleashed chaos and a global scale, and wishes to kill off all the Humans and take power.
Another for the No Real Life Examples, Please!, after going through the NRLEP thread:
* AmericansHateTingle: {{Complaining}} and FlameWar fodder.
* TheFamilyForTheWholeFamily: Villain trope.
(spelling of "family" fixed)
