Really? I thought mods encouraged users to come here for things like that.
Quick tip (hopefully not getting too off-topic): if a page unexpectedly starts indexing, the first thing to do is search for misplaced or unnecessary [[index]] tags. The presence of those will automatically turn indexing on every time the page is saved. The page in question had a completely unnecessary one, which I removed.
Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.On The Vampire Diaries, please remove the entry for Nakama. Not only are redirects not supposed to be used in a trope list, but this one is a ZCE.
Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.I created a page for Older Than They Think animated films, as many examples were incorrectly placed in the western animation section. Can it be indexed?
I've unlocked Older Than They Think.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanAt Final Fantasy, please replace "Final Fantasy series" with "Final Fantasy franchise". Please also move the Bravely Default tree to there (end of the last group) from Video Games A To K, and cut DeRosa while you're at it.

As suggested on Trope Finder (in a case that makes it clear how useful a search term it could be): please redirect Blue Collar Hero to Working-Class Hero.
Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.In the middle of wick cleanup for Lost Forever which was renamed Permanently Missable Content:
Please cut Feinoha, since it's creating a ghost wick.
Please replace the Lost Forever wick at the end of The Battle Didn't Count with Permanently Missable Content.
Please replace the trope title at the Lost Forever entry with Permanently Missable Content, and move it to the P-T folder in its appropriate place.

Can we please have Sweet Sea Lion and Monstrous Sea Lion redirect to Sweet Seal and Monstrous Seal respectively? I've never done this before, so I don't really know how it works.
Both tropes have a paragraph in the description explaining why sea lion characters are also included, so I think it would be helpful to have these redirects.

Here, try this:
- The Neverwinter Saga:
- Sylora Salm is a Thayan sorceress working under the orders of the Archlich Szass Tam to complete the construction of a Dread Ring, a powerful necromantic artifact. To go about this, she follows her rival Dahlia Sin'felle into the bowels of Gauntlgrym and mind controls the dwarf Athrogate into unleashing the Fire Primordial imprisoned there. This causes a volcanic eruption that destroys the city of Neverwinter and kills tens of thousands. Sylora uses the corpses to empower the Dread Ring and to create an army of ash zombies that constantly assault the survivors. Sylora is also shown to be pure evil on a personal level when she manipulates a cultist named Jestry into falling in love with her and then twists him into a constantly suffering abomination to serve as her bodyguard, and dominates the now insane undead Valindra Shadowmantle into being her servant.
- Herzgo Alegni, unlike most of the relatively few rapists in the Forgotten Realms setting, likes preying on kids. At one point, he and his warband raided a village, killing all the men and taking possession of the women. Alegni took a woman hostage to force her 10-year-old daughter, Dahlia, to let him rape her. When he was finished, he had his men hold Dahlia upside down to make her more likely to get pregnant before he broke the mother's neck for fun. He also uses a powerful magical sword to enslave Artemis Entreri (a former villain who had undergone a Heel–Face Turn and just wanted to be left alone) as his personal assassin, and used the sword to stab pain directly into Entreri's soul whenever he was pissed or just plain bored. He also commits murder for the pettiest of reasons, such as somebody naming a bridge after somebody else besides him, even though he had nothing to do with the bridge's construction.
- Tiago Baenre, who appears throughout the series, is considered one of Menzoberranzan's most promising young males. A ruthless, capable fighter obsessed with rising high in the storied Baenre family and becoming a legend to his people, Tiago dreams of destroying the legendary renegade Drizzt Do'Urden. Leading attacks on dwarves that kill multiple innocents, Tiago also ruins Drizzt's reputation by framing him for demon attacks, and also helps to manipulate the orcs into savagery by having the peaceful king Lorgru deposed and replaced with a brutal warlord. Tiago leads his new army in an attack on Sundabar, killing massive amounts of civilians and personally beheads the king before turning his forces to attack the city of Nesme, resulting in the butchering of countless innocents. Tiago interrogates a survivor by threatening to kill a child, and when the survivor gives in, he has the child killed because she took too long to answer. Tiago has the duke of Nesme crucified and amuses himself by "allowing" knights to escape before hunting them down and torturing them to death, in one case having his dragon ally swallow one alive to digest him slowly. Tiago, named as Weapons Master to the restored House Do'Urden, frequently rapes the brainwashed elf Dahlia Sin'Felle who has been installed as the puppet leader of the House, and also rapes a half-drow ally to demonstrate his power over her. His obsession with Drizzt eventually leads him to hunt down the older drow to become a legend by killing him. Tiago stands apart as the single most evil male Drow in the setting, his crimes fueled by nothing more than his own ego and attempts to amuse himself.
- The Neverwinter Saga:
Request for Sideboob:
- In the original Yu-Gi-Oh!, Mai's Harpie Lady monsters wear what is little more than a slingshot bikini, combining this with Absolute Cleavage.
Can you make Forced to Come Out a redirect to Forced Out of the Closet please
OH MY GOD; MY PARENTS ARE GARDENIIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!!!Alright, Tiago looks good now
At Pokémon, please remove Marcus from the Anime group, and replace the Manga group thusly:
- Phantom Thief Pokémon 7: Team Galactic member Io is depicted as a cold, ruthless woman who won't hesitate to eliminate anyone, even her own subordinates, standing between her and what she wants. Five years prior to the story, she kidnapped Hiori's twin sister Lily, when both kids were only five years old; registered her into Team Galactic; and conducted experiments on her mind that wiped her memory of her old life, her family, and even having ever been kidnapped. She also had Lily routinely brainwashed via her Misamagius's powers. When Lily gets her memory back and turns against Team Galactic, Io takes her frustration out of her Number Two by having her Pokemon attack him, calling him worthless before attempting to kill both Lily and her brother. Io showed no loyalty to her organization's cause and sought to usurp control within it and then Take Over the World by exploiting the powers of the Pokémon Darkrai, whose Hypnosis technique would enslave the minds of every living being so that they'd all do her bidding. When warned that this could also ravage the planet and cover it in darkness, Io doesn't care so long as she can reign supreme. She is also shown to treat Pokémon as little more than weapons that she can hurt and use to hurt, even forcibly enhancing them to make them serve her purposes better. When Darkrai breaks free from the special Poké Ball she tries to catch it in, she tries to force it under her control.
- Pokémon: Arceus and the Jewel of Life manga retelling, by Makoto Mizobuchi: Marcus/Markus lacks the good intentions of his anime counterpart, resulting in a power-hungry monster. Upon learning of Damos acquiring the Jewel of Life from Arceus, Marcus decides to steal it for himself. He plans to do so by using his Bronzong to hypnotize Damos and lure Arceus into a trap, then have all of his Electric-Type Pokemon—all of whom, most prominently Heatran, are under his control due to special armor, with those who try to rebel subject to beatings—electrocute it to death. The initial plan failed, with Arceus retaliating by obliterating everyone in the temple, Marcus included. When the heroes of the present travel to this era to prevent the event from taking place, Marcus decides to manipulate them into helping him and improve on his trap. He would pour Silver Water onto Arceus, while his Pokemon would carry out their usual commands. When the heroes learn of this, they tried to warn Marcus that his action will damage the space-time continuum, only for him to say he doesn't care, that he's even glad even to see this happen as it would make him him feel like a god, and has his Pokemon and soldiers kill them when they try to stop him. When they manage to foil his plan, he kills himself, activating a mechanism which upon his death would collapse the temple and kill everyone inside it, meaning his last act would cause the deaths of, at the very lease, possibly hundreds of Pokemon and human alike.
- Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl Adventure!: Charon, while a greedy Jerkass in Pokémon Platinum, is worse here. His method of introducing himself is to order his agents to suicide bomb a crowded stadium, the explosion potentially destroying the whole town were it to spread. While this fails, his intent is clear. He holds no regard for the lives of others and plans to control the world with money made from selling legendary Pokémon, as well as to extort more money from the masses by threatening them with the power of Giratina. He also does nasty experiments on Pokémon that shuts off their very hearts and essentially turn them into living weapons, Koya's Growlithe being among his victims, and we see him use a bunch of Skuntank under Mind Control as explosive weapons against the opposing trainers. Charon doesn't even treat his colleagues within Team Galactic well, as he captures the organization's previous leader, Cyrus, and tries to kill two of his top officers when they leave to find him. Cyrus goes on to rally the remaining agents against Charon, despite he himself previously trying to destroy the universe. Thinking only of himself the whole way through, Charon ends the series the sole character to reject The Power of Friendship as a concept and thus ends up thoroughly irredeemable.
Please unlock XMeetsY.Web Animation and XMeetsY.Web Original, so that the content of XMeetsY.New Media can be split and put into the appropriate subpages. "New Media" is not an accepted folder or subpage title for examples.
On Horny Devils:
Please change Literature/TheLaundrySeries to Literature/TheLaundryFiles. For the second instance (in the same example), which lacks a namespace, please just change it to the word "series", as repeating the name is unnecessary.
Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.
