I want to make sure this gets up at Avengers: Endgame before release: Please add a commented out note:
Complete Monster discussion will begin at https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=6vic3f9h1cy5qivsenw8llok
by Lightysnake no earlier than May 10. Any additions or discussion prior to then will result in a holler to the mods.
Please cut Madam Satan (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) from Live Action TVA To L, and make the other entry Mr. Bartel instead of just Bartel.
At the same page, for the first Blacklist entry, please replace the Slavery Is a Special Kind of Evil pothole with Human Traffickers.
Might as well pothole human trafficker to Human Trafficking for Blacklist at Live-Action TV too.
Also, at both World Of Darkness AND Video Games L To Z, for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, please double-indent Andrei and add this BELOW.
- Bishop Vick is the egotistical leader of the plaguebearer cult, the Brotherhood of the Ninth Circle. Losing his faith in God and humanity after his Embrace, Vick formed the Brotherhood to spread a fatal, gruesome disease amongst prostitutes and the homeless, and anyone he deems "enlightened", with the intent of infecting vampire and human alike, utterly decimating the latter population. By the time the fledgling reaches Downtown LA, the cult's sicknesses have already reached levels high enough to bring the CDC in. His human followers residing in the crack house are shown to have been reduced to little more than rotting, mindless zombies.

~ACW, Monster.Video Games L To Z is going to need a split in a soon round; it's approaching size limits.
~ScrewySqrl, indeed, that request has been made before and rejected
.
And we're caught up.
Whelp, good to know. I'll include the first VG page and split them into 3 roughly-equivalent pages.
EDIT: Here you go. Please lock these and have the current pages redirect to Video Games.

Request for a link to the newly created Pet Gets the Keys to be added to #42 on the Evil Overlord List, which describes this trope.

Disambig Needed: Help with those issues! tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13324299140A37493800&page=24#comment-576The last verse on Haiku-Wiki should be removed as the linked page has been cut.
At Star Wars, please remove the first Tarkin entry (canon works) and add this for franchise-wide after Palpatine:
- Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin is one of the highest-ranking officers in the Galactic Empire and one of their most infamously cruel. Even before his integration into the Empire, the utterly sociopathic Tarkin showed resentment towards the Jedi and happily tried to have Ahsoka Tano executed, despite Tano having previously saved his life. Tarkin's only response to any of his atrocities is a cold, smug sense of satisfaction. A Knight Templar par excellence, Tarkin exercised cruelty nightmarish even by the standards of the Empire despite not even being a Sith, coldly dismissing Berch Teller's words to his protocol with "[E]vil will have to do." His multitude of said evil can be found in various canon works below, as well as in the Legends section (which includes Death Star).
In the Canon Works section, please add these after Vidian:
- Tarkin & Rebels: Wilhuff Tarkin, after being promoted to Moff following Palpatine's conversion of the Republic to The Empire, would craft the Tarkin Doctrine, which laid out the new Empire's principles. He would then repeatedly demonstrate his cruelties as a high-ranking officer: boiling Q'anah and her crew of Space Pirates to death from the heat of a star and ordering the destruction of any ships that tried to rescue them; punishing the populace of Antar-4 with no regard to which members of the populace had been loyal to the Republic, causing many innocent deaths; and, upon his promotion to Grand Moff, taxing the subjects of the Outer Rim to starvation and engineering the torture of Jedi Knight Kanan Jarrus, even though Kanan may not know anything.
- Age of Rebellion—Grand Moff Tarkin comic; Rogue One; A New Hope: Wilhuff Tarkin, during the earliest days of the Death Star, sanctions the obliteration of the rebel city NiJedha and claims the victory as his own. Tarkin later has the Death Star fire on the Imperial base on Scarif to quell rebel activity, killing countless members of the Empire's own men as well as his hated rival Orson Krennic, while also wiping out the remainder of Rogue One. Upon briefing the gunners for the Death Star, he secretly installs chips in their helmets to see if they will hesitate in their orders. When they do so, Tarkin chastises them for "weakness", noting to one Alderaan native he would happily annihilate his own world without a second thought. Coldly dismissing them as weaklings, Tarkin simply ejects them into space. Tarkin's most recognized atrocity is having Princess Leia tortured and, even after being provided with the information he wanted, forcing her to witness the destruction of her homeworld of Alderaan, killing billions of innocent people.
Please replace Durge's entry (Legends, Comic books) with this:
- Durge, a Bounty Hunter, assassin, and Separatist commander during the Clone Wars, is much unlike his usually-pacifistic fellow Gen'Dai. One of the most prolific—and sadistic—Jedi hunters of the war, Durge made his first appearance on one of Naboo's moons, where he and Asajj Ventress massacred the local Gungans in a test of their new chemical weapon—a weapon they were planning to use against the planet Naboo next. When a squad of Jedi and clone troopers arrived to investigate, Durge tried to kill them all, even going so far as to try and skin Padawan Zule Xiss alive. Later, during the battle of Queyta, Durge would open fire on his own men, using the explosions caused by their deaths to kill a pair of Jedi Masters, one of whom he finished off by submerging in lava. Obsessed with having the title of greatest bounty hunter ever, Durge made an attempt on the life of Jango Fett's son, Boba, and would go out of his way to kill Jango's clones, all in the name of cementing his reputation. Finally slain after slaughtering the entire crew of a captured ship, Durge was as vile as even a bounty hunter could get.
Regarding the main page for Whale Wars, do you think it’s safe to unlock it now? The show ended 4 years ago and as far as I know the controversy surrounding it has died down a bit. If you still can’t unlock it, could you at least change the air date to say that it ended? I’m asking because when I found that page a few months back and saw it said it was still airing, I went to change it only to find it locked. Funny enough this is how I found out about Locked Pages on this wiki.
Adding to that, the YMMV page has an entry for Refuge in Audacity that needs to be moved to the main page and the main page has an entry for Real Song Theme Tune that belongs on the Trivia subpage.
On The Content Policy and the 5P Circuit, change Excuse Plot to "minimal plot", since Excuse Plot is actually a video game-specific trope. The new wording is also less complainy.
Join the Five-Man Band cleanup project!
Excuse Plot is not Video Game-specific. The trope page is full of non-video game examples and it's very common in porn in particular.
Please recreate and cutlist Main.The Book Of Margery Kempe to get rid of a ghost wick.
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"I would like to add to the Locked Pages page itself, under the works folder:
- YMMV.The Homestuck Epilogues: Became a magnet for complaining soon after release.
On Locked Pages, change The Situation to The Google Incident.

Join the Five-Man Band cleanup project!Technical request for Complete Monster page: embolden the "Important Note:" text.
On Woobie.My Hero Academia please change "Bakugou" to "Bakugo", based on the official spelling as seen here http://heroaca.com/character.html
I thought we didn't care about those sorts of transliteration oddities.
On Mumkey Jones, add [[foldercontrol]] after "Tropes Appearing in Mumkey Jones' Videos:" and add quotes around "Buuuttt MUMMMKKKEEEYYYY" under Appeal to Ridicule.

If we really need that to point there, it'd have to be a disambig to handle to confusion.
