Got it

For Final Fantasy VII. These are the entries for That One Boss on the main page there. Could we cross-wick since these actually give context.

• That One Boss:
  • For first-time players, the very first boss, the Guard Scorpion, thanks to a "Blind Idiot" Translation. When it raises its tail it will counter attacks with a powerful laser blast, so you should not do that. The catch is that the way Cloud's warning is translated, it sounds like he's saying you should attack when it raises its tail to avoid its laser blast. Following his advice as given results in a faceful of laser.
  • For first-time players, the fight with Jenova-BIRTH can be a nasty surprise. It has a lot more HP than the last boss, hits rather hard for that point of the game and can spam its lasers two or three times. Tail Laser is especially dangerous, as it hits all the team, and since Jenova always uses it twice in a row, it will deplete between one third and half of the health of your characters. Unless you level-grind a little in the boat or managed to snag Beta from the Zolom, it's a tough fight. It can also temporarily incapacitate a character with its Stop spell, crippling you considerably while using the previously-mentioned attacks.
  • Materia Keeper on Mt. Nibel is infuriating to defeat with conventional means - it absorbs Fire (the element of Beta, the most powerful spell that it is possible for you to have access to at that point, and the element of the spells cast by your most recently-recruited character's Berserk Limit Break form), has ridiculous stats, likes to heal itself for thousands of points of damage, and will cast a powerful all-targeting lightning spell when it dies. The game leaves two gimmicky weapons in the area (Tifa's Powersoul and Vincent's Sniper CR) which are major Game Breakers when set up correctly and will make the battle short, but both are non-obvious, advanced-level techniques.
  • Rapps in Wutai, because of the fact that the party has no access to Materia, thanks to Yuffie stealing them all. In addition, he'll be able to use Aero 3, a One-Hit KO if you're not prepared. The game never says this outright, but you'll have to use your character's limit breaks to defeat him, such as Aeris' extremely helpful Seal Evil which can stop him from moving, or Barret's Mindblow that'll remove all of his MP.
  • The Demon Wall from the Temple of the Ancients. It has some powerful magic and some nasty status effects, along with staggering magical defense and a mountain of health. This wouldn't be a problem, but you have to bring Aerith along to this dungeon, whose primary role is to use support magic most of the time.
  • Schizo at Gaea's Cliff. It has two heads that you need to attack separately, and when you kill one, it will unleash a nasty attack that can wipe out your entire party if you're behind with your healing. It gets even worse if you kill both of the heads at the same time.
  • Carry Armor. Not only is Lapis Laser horrifyingly powerful (to the extent of taking off half your normally-leveled party's health per cast), but his arms can Grab party members and remove them from combat, smashing them against the floor and only returning them once they're dead. And as you wear Carry Armor down, he uses Lapis Laser more and more, often using Arm Grab to kill off two members and Lapis Laser-ing the last one. In addition, the game counts it as a loss if you have all your living party members Arm Grabbed. This occurs even if you roll Cait Sith's Transform spell on his slots, which causes him to grow giant in return for becoming your sole party member.

Noticed a formatting issue on Monster.Western Animation. For the My Little Pony tree, there's no sub-bullet for it. It currently looks like this:

It should look like this (also changed "2" to "two" because it looked nicer):

Whoops, don't know how I fucked that up

Slight expansion for the Tomb Raider tree at Video Games L To Z:

• Father Mathias, upon being stranded on Yamatai island, tricks many of his fellow survivors into sailing off said island to prove that escaping by boat was impossible, uncaring about their deaths. Forming the Solarii Brotherhood based around the aforementioned Himiko, he only uses the Sun Queen to distract his followers while he tries to escape alone, showing no true loyalty to her or his cult; he has his initiates go through days or even weeks without food or water, with many driven to cannibalism. Callous to the deaths of his followers and allies alike, Mathias kills one of his own for objecting to his order to blow up a bridge some his men were on, and leaves Dr. Whitman to his death after convincing him to betray the other survivors. He then attempts to sacrifice Samantha Nishimura to Himiko, knowing that this would free her and doom the entire world.

Hi, today can we use this to:

• Put one on MagnificentBastard.Anime And Manga;
• Two-five on MagnificentBastard.Video Games;
• Six on MagnificentBastard.Film, under the animated section.

Also, please cut The Flash (2014) entry from MagnificentBastard.Live Action TV.

Cheers!

Please recreate and cut Main.Lego RPG The Movie to get rid of a ghost wick.

English as in the language or as in England? If the former, would "British" be more clear?

- British. I'll change it.

~MaLady, the Twister disambig could benefit from mentioning the film, Twister.

ETA: Or the book.

Done to here otherwise.

Crank Trilogy is making a ghost wick to OneWordTitle.

Babar And The Adventures Of Badou is making a ghost wick to PricklyPorcupine.

MagnificentBastard.Tabletop Games:

"TricksterArchetype" to "TheTrickster"

I'm not sure if the redundancy is needed because Tornado is disambiguating works with land-bound vortexes of doom, including the ones named Twister. I had been telling ~MaLady to make it a redirect when I looked up the definition to verify my understanding of the word.

Edited by crazysamaritan on Mar 3rd 2019 at 6:26:05 AM

Not a locked page, but the mission for the "Fixing zero context examples thread" should have its pothole to Zero-Context Example fixed to change the mainspace from Main to Administrivia.

Edited by Albert3105 on Mar 3rd 2019 at 6:10:57 AM

~MaLady and crazysamaritan, I lean towards making Twister a redirect to Tornado. Is the synonym for Con Man so prevalent it merits a mention (as an American, that's a new one to me, so I can't speak to it)?.

A Christmas RPG is making a ghost wick to ChristmasElves.

It's new to me as well, but it explains the name Oliver Twist. I had the same reaction until I looked at https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/twister, which seems legitimate.

MaLady is continuing to cutlist massive amounts of redirects just for being "barely used", which AFAIK is not a valid reason to delete. They even cutlisted Elemental Armour for Elemental Armor, which should definitely be kept, along with other British/American English spelling variants, non-standard plurals, and gender variations.

Perhaps you should PM them, instead of hashing it out here. Not all cuts submitted have been accepted, and if one has, despite being under an acceptable reason on Creating New Redirects, you can bring it back up here for restoration.

AudioGame.Shades Of Doom is making a ghost wick to AudioGame.

~Dravencour, those suggestions don't seem likely to improve searchability. Declining unless proven otherwise.

I think ~MaLady and I are both okay with whatever you decide for Main.Twister:
