Please keep the following guidelines in mind:
- Check Locked Pages and Permanent Red Link Club first. They can provide guidance on what are good and bad requests.
- Include working links in your request to the page(s) in question.
- If asking for edits, state your changes exactly as they should appear on the page, including proper Example Indentation, namespacing, and pothole and quote formatting. And make sure that what you want to add is actually a valid example.
- We do not edit archived articles, even to correct links.
- If you need to have the capitalization of a page title or namespace of a work fixed, ask here
.
- If you need to remove a ghost wick, go here
.
- To request a page to be moved along with its history, go here

- The Complete Monster and Magnificent Bastard tropes aren't currently adding or removing examples. Wick changes and other minor corrections to the locked trope pages can be made via this thread, but more significant changes will be declined.
- Inappropriate pages that keep being recreated, pages banned under The Content Policy and subpages that are disallowed (like Headscratchers pages for tropes) are valid reasons for requesting page locks.

Some cleanup (though not enough) for the main Friendship Is Magic page:
- For Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Much of this doesn't even have much to do with the trope (and the "played with" would be a subversion, but I don't think it really counts as such). Just remove the whole thing... or is it an aversion worth noting? In that case, it could be changed to just one line: "Averted. Amusing Injuries abound."
- The second sub-bullet under Big Ball of Violence should be under Big Eater.
- For Blush Sticker: I don't think it's limited to just these characters. The description could be changed to "It's not the kind that looks just glued on, but still."
- Under Brick Joke: The 'E' under the last bullet is misformatted, although I'm not sure how it was meant. Maybe just change it to "'E'".
- Butt-Monkey: Remove. "There isn't a dedicated one per se," but the trope description begins with "The character who is always ..."
- Carnivore Confusion: There's an extra ' at the end of the very last line. (Could use some looking at otherwise too, but I'm not sure just here how to change it.)
- Chase Scene: Missing a full stop at the end.
- About Chaste Toons: The first sub-bullet as it is worded doesn't seem to have anything to do with the trope. The second is odd because how could the trope ("main characters are surrounded by children who are their siblings' children") possibly apply in-universe? What would that even mean? Change the whole thing to:
- Chaste Toons:
- According to Rarity, princess Celestia has a nephew, which should raise an eyebrow considering that it would either imply that he is Luna's son (even though she spent the last thousand years sealed in the moon) or that there is another divine sibling we don't know about. Lauren Faust eventually explained by saying that he was a very distant relative on Celestia's mother's side, "about 52 times removed, roughly speaking."
- In Applejack's and Rarity's case, they have children hanging around who are their little sisters rather than nieces, but play a similar role.
That should be it for now, thanks.

For the main page, I think you can just edit Sandbox.MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic, and later the edits will be transferred over.
Made the My Immortal edits, among others — I don't think that's even an example of Names The Same, so I cut it.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"I'd liked to remove the bolded part from Slapstick Knows no Gender:
Naturally, with feminism being an incredibly complex issue, there are arguments that say both playing this straight and averting it are sexist and anti-feminist. On one side, some argue that violence against women in any form (however cartoonish and exaggerated) is sexist and morally reprehensible. On the other side, others argue that, in the context of a show where most other characters are victims of slapstick violence, making female characters immune to such violence makes them morally superior, physically inferior, and not funny. They say that true equality means that a female character should get pied in the face and bopped on the head as often as a male character. Either way, somebody's getting offended.
Because they ain't right if they only object because the person in question is female. After all, if the slapstick is equal opportunity, it shouldn't matter.

I cut the entire paragraph. Tropes apply to media, not real life, and we have no need or use for all that soapboxing.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Greetings, fellow Tropers.
While examining the Evil Overlord List (s), I noted that one of the rules on the original list (#68) and one of the rules on EOL Cellblock A (#174) have a stark conflict with each-other:
—>68.) "I will spare someone who saved my life sometime in the past. This is only reasonable as it encourages others to do so. However, the offer is good one time only. If they want me to spare them again, they'd better save my life again."
As opposed to:
—>174.) "If I am dangling over a precipice and the hero reaches his hand down to me, I will not attempt to pull him down with me. I will allow him to rescue me, thank him properly, then return to the safety of my fortress and order his execution."
I believe that one of these needs to be slightly edited, though of course it couldn't be the former.
Well?

Care to critique my villain's prison escape plan?Most Common Super Power needs to be removed from the Double Standard page. It's not a trope for simply pointing out a woman has big breasts.
One more edit for My Immortal: The Leisure Suit Larry should be changed to Casanova Wannabe. Surprised you didn't catch that one.
Made that additional edit to My Immortal. The Double Standard entry for Most Common Super Power was wrong, but only because the trope got clarified. I fixed it, and it is still an example.
Also, Double Standard wasn't set to an index, for some unfathomable reason. Fixed it.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Additional tropes for the Friendship is Magic characters page.
In the Cutie Mark Crusaders section, under "Tropes shared by all three Crusaders":
- Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo respectively. Also overlaps with Town Girls (the femme, the neutral one, and the butch).
- Comic Trio: Scootaloo suggests something dangerous or silly, Apple Bloom goes along with it, and Sweetie Belle won't complain loud enough to avoid getting dragged along. Slightly averted in that Apple Bloom isn't stupid, she's just game for anything.
For The Bible, since there's already a list of tropes it's a Trope Namer for, the Trope Namer entries in the main example list need to be removed and, for some, their descriptive text moved to the entries in the former list. The ones with text needing moved are Crucified Hero Shot, I Am Legion, Never Accepted in His Hometown, The Antichrist, Thou Shalt Not Kill, and The Uriah Gambit.
X Ray: The Evil Overlord list, including Cellblock A and Cellblock B, is an original work
, not a TV Tropes production. It's locked to prevent this exact kind of edit.

she her hers hOI!!! i'm tempeI'm not sure if this is the right page, but can I launch a headscracthers page for Wikipedia because I want to post this question:
"Why is that opponents of Wikipedia keep arguing that anyone who has access to the Internet can vandalize it when there are some heavily enforced rules about editing?"
Continuously reading, studying, and (hopefully) growing.On Characters.MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic, in the "Others" section of the "Background Ponies" folder, could the descriptions for Ascended Extra and You Don't Look Like You please be changed to:
- Ascended Extra: Sunny Daze and Peachy Pie, schoolmates of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Despite only appearing for a few scenes in one episode and having no lines aside from small gasps, they each have a toy version of some sort (radically redesigned, but still). They are two of the few background ponies to have in-show names and share them with G3 ponies, so that might have helped.
- You Don't Look Like You: Earth pony fillies Sunny Daze and Peachy Pie look very different in the toys than they do in the show. In the toys, Sunny Daze is a pegasus with different coat and hair colors, while Peachy Pie is a young adult with different coat, hair, and eye colors.
dRoy: We are not going to open the Headscratchers article because you want to write that in it. Seriously, no. Don't even go there.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Dear Tropers:
I would like to know why the page of our RP (Fate/Regalia) was locked from editing one day after its page was created, and if possible, to have it unlocked soon. This RP has been running for a long time (Enough to have our own wiki here: http://asha.wikia.com/wiki/Fate/Regalia)
so we think having a page of our own should be possible.
Eddie cut it without reason, but I'm going to guess that it's because it's in the wrong Namespace. RP's go in Roleplay, ergo Roleplay.Fate Regalia.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"The Bible needs Return Of The King replaced with Rightful King Returns.
Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. Dick

My Immortal needs the following.
