- nombretomado Thanks for bringing into the attention on this, but we should keep a close eye on this. If anyone tries to vandalize J.K. Rowling's page, it should be an immediate lock.
EDIT: I've also added a Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment as a comment in her page in case if anyone tries to edit her page in any form.

@nombretomado: Sorry for misunderstanding and for the late reply. The past week or so was kinda hectic for me. Anyway, I see that you already went ahead and did it. Thanks, though the correct namespace for Mandy Moore is "Music/" (see the entry itself).

From Zero to Hero has been launched, and I accidentally discovered that Zero to Hero exists- as a redirect for Training Montage. I'd like to request it be redirected to From Zero to Hero instead; there's only 15 wicks for it and a quick perusal of them implies they're used as a stand in for the new trope, not Training Montage, and the names are so similar people could end up using Zero to Hero by mistake (which I did).
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallI found the thing at Fan Works, Video Games, Minecraft. Please replace the appropriate entry with this:
- In the Beginning
: Herobrine is the far more malicious brother of Notch and co-creator of Minecraft. When Notch granted free will to the Villagers and Steves of Minecraft, Herobrine grew disdainful towards them, believing that he and Notch should be worshipped by them instead. Deciding to wipe them out to create his own world of "order," he massacred entire villages by raining fire on them and created hostile monsters to hunt down and kill the Steves, all without a shred of remorse when Notch discovers his crimes.
Also, at Disney (Other) and Other Media (Multimedia), please make it The Haunted Mansion franchise

I know, but I figured we'd still need permission first to change redirects since we need permission to make redirects in the first place. When I wanted to have Battle of the Sexes redirect to Girls vs. Boys Plot rather than Mars and Venus Gender Contrast, I asked here.

Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallAt Creepypasta, under the Nosleep folder, please cut the I wasnt carefull enough on the deep web entry.
Oh, is this where we discuss redirect changes?
I have a thread all about them, but I'll slowly bring them up here.

Should Evil Princess go to Evil Prince, instead of Daddy's Little Villain?

At Dungeons & Dragons, for other settings, a slight correction:
- Ghul, the Half-God, pretended to be the half-demon son of the previous villain in order to establish a base of power he called Goth Gulgamel in the great spire. Taking the name the Skull King, Ghul conducted horrible experiments to create and breed an army, while sacrificing children to desecrate his temples, imprisoning the souls of unborn babies as well to experiment on and trap eternally. Unleashing his armies, the Shrieking Hordes, in the Ghulwar to raze entire lands and murder countless innocents, Ghul held a special hatred for elves, many of whom were tortured to death in his dungeons. Some were twisted and turned into darker beings known as Harrow Elves, whom Ghul spared solely for the dark joy of seeing the devastation their new lives gave them. Upon being pushed back, Ghul later unleashed a brutal winter to freeze and starve many innocents to death, being remembered, for good reason, as one of the worst villains in the history of the world.

For the Hollow Knight entry in the Complete Monster subpage, please change the Macabre Moth Motif pothole in The Radiance’s name to Moth Menace, which is the actual trope for a villainous/antagonistic moth.

Hi, I'm trying to move a Recap page for the Odd Squad episode "Trials and Tubulations" and create a redirect. It's meant to go to Odd Squad S 1 E 29 Trials And Tubulations, with the "a" in "and" capitalized, but I put the redirect into the old page (with the "a" in lowercase) a little too early, and it redirects to the old version. Fiddling around with it just causes Firefox to tell me that "the page isn't redirecting properly".
Is there a way for a mod to "pry apart" these two pages somehow, so I can do the redirect process correctly the next time? Or can a mod lock/delete the old version's page?
These are the two links:
Odd Squad S 1 E 29 Trialsand Tubulations (old version) Odd Squad S 1 E 29 Trials And Tubulations (desired new version)

Wuewuewuewuewueing my way to the bank.![]()
Due to the way wikiwords work, those are actually the same page. You can't redirect from one to the other because that means the page redirects to itself.
For this, Pages In Accidentally Miscapitalised Namespaces is what you want.

Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.~MaLady, I can get behind that change. I see three wicks to Evil Princess that seem more appropriate for Evil Prince than Daddy's Little Villain.

~MasterN, you're going to need to specify the exact subpage of Complete Monster.
~43110, I'm kind of reticent to take ownership of adding those videos. Can't really think of any other way around it, though. At the very least, that first video exceeds the 2.30-minute cap by a few seconds.

Monster.Video Games G To P, in the Hollow Knight entry. Sorry for not specifying.

The breast index I talked about earlier is now live at The World's Breast Tropes. Lock away, and add this to Administrivia.Locked Pages:
