Re-Posting the Thread header request here, since I didn't do it properly the first time. Please replace the following section of the Hate Sink thread header:
With regards to this trope, actions still generally speak louder than words. The format of editing which brings up characters who don't fit the bill, doesn't generally go into enough detail with regards to what makes these characters loathsome.
The entries for this trope should focus on who does qualify, not the characters who do not.
With the following:
With regards to this trope, actions still generally speak louder than words. The format of editing which brings up characters who don't fit the bill before mentioning the candidate's name doesn't generally go into enough detail with regards to what makes these characters loathsome.
The entries for this trope should ideally focus on who does qualify, rather than the characters who do not. However, denoting the fact that the character sets themselves apart from more charismatic/sympathetic/likeable characters of the setting is perfectly reasonable, and in some cases even necessary, so long as in doing so, one does not neglect to mention their despicable traits.
Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly was merged with Genre Mashup per TRS
, and Main.UVER World contains a ghost wick to it.
On Fullmetal Alchemist please change "split their souls between Hohenheim and Homunculus, to the latter's horror." to "split their souls between Hohenheim and Homunculus, to the former's horror."
On Spider-Man please add this to the other media links at the top of the page.
- Spider-Man: Far From Home can be found here.

Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup threadIn Fallen Creator, at Manfred Trenz, please change Great Giana Sisters to The Great Giana Sisters. Also, remove the last sentence as it's speculation.

Whoops, don't know HOW I missed that, but yes, that should be done. Though please just change the appropriate line to:
- Examples from films can be found here (for Venom (2018)) and here (for Spider-Man: Far From Home).
Oh that is much better.
Just ignore mine please.

Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup threadCan RNG redirect to Random Number God. Not only is it commonly used as facetious shorthand already, the page has attracted a handful of wicks despite not existing.
I realised TLP Guidelines can actually be edited by regular users. Still, I'd like to ask for permission.
In the Trope Launch Pad discard project
we noticed there's a discrete number of drafts in the TLP that are proposal for redirect pages. They're not necessary as Needs a Redirect says. Still, a reminder could be written as well in the page TLP Guidelines?
The majority in the complete monster cleanup thread approved these rewritten entries and ACW suggested I post them here.
In the literature section for Matilda.
- Complete Monster: Agatha Trunchbull is the headmistress of Crunchem Hall Primary School who rules the school with an iron fist. Shying away from illegal caning, the Trunchbull opts for more torturous methods easily dismissed by parents as wild stories. A Child Hater extraordinaire, the Trunchbull subjects the children to near-fatal punishments, her favorite being "the Chokey"—a refurnished cupboard laced with broken glass and nails. Out of greed, the Trunchbull murdered her brother-in-law for his inheritance, and violently abused her niece, Jennifer Honey, breaking her arm in a spur of rage. Unrepentant, the Trunchbull threatens to break Miss Honey's arm again when she stands up to her. A psychotic disciplinarian who prides herself with never having a childhood, the Trunchbull set the standard for sadist teachers everywhere.
and in the Theatre Section for Matilda.
- Complete Monster: Agatha Trunchbull commits all the acts from the book, along with additional crimes. Trunchbull is a former Olympic hammer thrower, who is depicted in onscreen flashbacks as making money from a circus where she forced her trapeze artist sister—who was pregnant—to work at the circus or face jail, with Trunchbull eventually killing her sister by cutting the rope. The baby—Jennifer "Jenny" Honey—survived. Trunchbull was then invited by her oblivious brother-in-law to help care for Jenny, regularly abusing the latter when her father wasn't home and scaring her into submission. When Jenny's father came home early one day to find his daughter starved and tied up in the cellar, he went to confront Agatha, only for Trunchbull to murder him and frame it as suicide. In the present day, Trunchbull became headmistress of a school. She commits all the acts of child abuse seen in the book and locks Matilda in a torture box known as a Chokey, which she regularly used on children. The Trunchbull's cruelty expands in scope when the climax of the musical has her attempting to replace all classrooms with Chokeys to create a school system where children will be tortured and "neither seen nor heard". Already known as one of the most preeminent child haters in adolescent fiction, this version of the Trunchbull still stands out as truly monstrous.

First one is for Literature H to Q:
- Matilda: (rewrite)
Second is for Other Media:
- Matilda the Musical: (rewrite)
~Siegfred1337, What Measure Is a Non-Badass? was added.
~gjjones, there's a commented-out note
to discuss image changes in IP. Did you take it there?
~ACW, something about the formatting on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is bothering me. Is the added entry meant to be part of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures group?
~gc10, appreciate you bringing it here to be sure, but please provide the actual verbiage of the reminder.
~𝕋𝕒𝕓𝕤, didn't do the redirect. We don't create abbreviation-based redirects.
We should be caught up. I think.
~nombretomado I've just started a new IP thread here
. Hope this helps.

The last IP thread
on The Rise of Skywalker decided to replace it with the official poster when it's released. I meant "when the poster is released", but ~Willbyr apparently interpreted it as "when the movie is released".

Keet cleanupNT: Shit, that's my bad. Here you go:
Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: Crisis in a Half Shell
- Krang is an Utrom warlord and one of the sworn enemies of the Turtles. Discovering the existence of the Omniverse, a collection of different multiverses, Krang decides to destroy it and create his own multiverse out of its parts. To this end he tracked down the Anti-Monitor from Batman's multiverse, killed him and used him as his new body. Creating his Ultra-Technodrome from the parts of Batman's universe, Krang finds the original versions of Batman and the Turtles and captures them, using them to forcefully merge the entire Omniverse into two universes, Dimension X and New Earth, erasing all the rest. When the Turtles and Batman find out about this and started thwarting Krang's schemes by trying to separate their multiverses once again and restore the Omniverse, an angry Krang tries to destroy the whole Earth, so he could rebuild it again, only without the heroes.
Also, here's what the Honkai entry should be at Anime & Manga: G to N:
- Honkai Impact 3rd: The Great Overseer of Schicksal is the first leader of the Schicksal Organization and the father of Otto Apocalypse. Initially presented as a benevolent figure helping several European princes create a feudal order and stop the Honkai in order to take back the lost lands that the latter conquered, the Overseer reveals his true power-hungry nature by performing experiments on innocent civilians to turn them into zombies or monsters and kickstarting a war with the Ming Empire. Losing the war, the Overseer extorts the money from poor civilians and allows his priests and aristocrats to abuse the population as they please, and later attempts again to start a war with the Ming Empire again.

I also think it's a bit of a mix-up. That's one of the reasons why I posted a new IP thread request for it.
I was thinking about adding in TLP Guidelines just a short paragraph like:
"However, if you want to create a new redirect, don't ever use the TLP. In fact, this is a major cause of Trope Launch Pad duplicates of existing tropes. For redirects, follow instead the instructions here."
It may be added at the beginning of the page, right under the paragraph:
"Keep in mind that Works pages, for a new show, film, anime, comic, what have you, don't need to go through TLP. Just go ahead and make those (unless you need the extra help)."

Should this be put to DarthWiki.Fallen Creator?
I think ATT thread
has stated that this should be put into said page.

Please put this on Western Animation:
