- If you've been a troper for at least a while, you've probably been familiar with The Content Policy, a set of rules that prohibits fictional works that are pure porn and/or pedopandering from having pages on the wiki, and enforces the cutting of such articles. However, what hasn't been made clear is what needs to be done when creators, aware of TV Tropes, alter their problematic work in order to get the work page restored. Ideas on what could be done, including whether to count the altered work as a version, can be discussed at Altering a work in response to the Content Policy.

BoBoiBoy Galaxy x Lawak Kampus: SUPERIOR is a Crossover comic between animated series BoBoiBoy Galaxy and comic series Lawak Kampus (aka Kuso High School), crafted by comic artists of both studios (Monsta and Kadokawa Gempak Starz).
The main casts of both works engage in a football game between their schools when Adu Du's endeavours to capture Gigabot, a large dimensional travelling power sphera, lands him in the middle of the match. Gigabot then vanishes with Commander Koko Ci and Teacher Noodle, leaving behind 8 floating hexagonal portals. Both groups split up into pairs, each comprising of at least one member from each group, to venture into the portals' worlds and rescue their kidnapped superiors.
It was published and released in 2018, selling exclusively in POPULAR bookstores.
BoBoiBoy Galaxy x Lawak Kampus: SUPERIOR contains examples of:
- All Love Is Unrequited: Per the usual with the Lawak Kampus cast, Xena is in love with Vanness, who wants nothing to do with her. Anthony considers Xena to be his beloved but she barely even notices him.
- Attack Its Weak Point:
- Vanness notices that the monsters are weakened when attacked at the neck, and proceeds to shoot at it while telling BoBoiBoy to do the same. This weak point doesn't apply to their boss, however, so Vanness has BoBoiBoy distract him while he looks for it. He hits the hexagonal panel on its nape, and the heroes keep attacking it until the object falls off. It turns out to be the escape door from that dimension, and they inform the others to find the hexagonal panel.
- Xena uses her Magic Mirror to find Haliaman's blind spots, which are his joints, which Fang attacks to finally knock the gingerbread man down. Xena then looks for the chef's blind spot (since she possesses the hexagonal panel to escape) to be her nose, and throws flour to send her into a sneezing fit.
- Blinded by the Light: After BoBoiBoy Lightning's sword scratches him, Gigabot roars and emits a bright glow which blinds the others. He's disappeared once they open their eyes, having only left behind 8 dimensional doors.
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: The first chapter has Vanness described as the main character of Lawak Kampus several times. Aditas proclaims that Vanness can't lose the football game because of that fact, and Vanness keeps thinking that BoBoiBoy is trying to steal his popularity as main character.
- Breath Weapon: The lizard-like monsters in the "World of Monsters" breath explosive fire.
- Dimensional Traveler: Gigabot is a Power Sphera with the ability to travel across dimensions. He leaves behind 8 doors which each lead to a different dimension, each of which contains a hexagonal panel that unlocks another portal to leave that dimension.
- Extradimensional Emergency Exit: The characters are split into pairs, each of which enter one of 8 portals that appear when Gigabot, a dimensional traveling Power Sphera, disappears with Teacher Noodle and Commander Kokoci. Each dimension requires them to find a hexagonal panel to escape. BoBoiBoy and Vaness defeat a monstrous lizard wielding it, upon defeat it ran away to call its mother. The two just manage to escape via portal to evade a fight with her.
- Expy: Tony Stuck is a humorous prod at Tony Stark, down to a similar appearance (facial hair, slicked back hairdo, and a fancy suit). Froggy makes a phone call to "Uncle Stuck" to send him high-tech equipment and gadgets to help the non-super Lawak Kampus cast on their dimensional travels.
- Foreshadowing: Right as BoBoiBoy throws his lightning swords at Gigabot to get him to release Teacher Noodle and Commander Koko Ci, the latter yells for BoBoiBoy to hold his attack a little too late. It turns out that Gigabot bears no ill will at all, and was only hostile because he was attacked first.
- Good All Along: Initially represented as the comic's antagonist who controls those that the main cast must defeat to escape their respective world, Gigabot only wanted to invite Teacher Noodle and Commander Koko Ci for lunch, but when BoBoiBoy attacked him, he took them to his own dimension. As for those under his mind control, it was only to collect exotic ingredients for his tea. When Gigabot is defeated and Adu Du is about to claim control over him, Mr. Noodle and Koko Ci beat Adu Du up, break his remote control and explain what really happened.
- Interdimensional Travel Device: The 8 giant hexagons that Gigabot leaves behind are gates to other dimensions. In each one, a yellow hexagonal panel must be located to unlock the exit door from that dimension.
- Only Sane Man: Lampshaded by Yaya's thoughts; she's happy to team up with Froggy, who she considers the most normal of the Lawak Kampus cast. Despite him being an anthropomorphic frog, Froggy is the one among his classmates who acts the most sensibly.
- Pstandard Psychic Pstance: Parodied. Anthony doesn't have psychic powers, but that doesn't stop him from pointing his forefingers to his head and saying that he'll stop his opponent with his "psychic powers".
- Recruit the Muggles: In this case, the muggles hired themselves. The BoBoiBoy heroes don't want the Lawak Kampus cast to follow in the interdimensional rescue because they don't have superpowers to protect themselves. The LK cast want to explore different worlds, so Froggy orders gadgets to aid his powerless comrades, and the heroes finally relent. They all follow Fang's suggestion for them to team up by pairs, (at least) one member with powers and another without.
- Shout-Out: The "Trap of Sweets" chapter is a wholesale reference to Hansel and Gretel. Xena and Fang come across a house surrounded by giant sweets, and are lured in by a lady who intends to cook them.
- Sizeshifter:
- The monster that scolds BoBoiBoy and Vanness for attacking its siblings isn't very intimidating at first since it's the size of a puppy compared to them. However, it then grows into an even bigger monster than the ones they attacked before.
- Mr. Tom-Tom's dolls ()
- Cattus ()
- Stuff Blowing Up: In the "World of Monsters" chapter, Vanness learns the glowing rocks explode when thrown, and uses them as ammo for his slingshot against the monsters.
- Talking Is a Free Action: When Adu Du's spaceship crash-lands on the football field and advances towards Yaya, she says with a shocked expression that she can't activate her powers in time. Ying zips by and carries her out of harm's way.
Certain examples in progress:
- Big Eater: Xena, who wishes to devour as much as she can at the park of giant sweets (food, not just sweets?). She still wants to grab a bite before she and Fang are about to leave, and gets a toothache for her troubles.
- Trademark Favourite Food: Fang's love for red-carrot donuts makes a comeback, which is ironically the only food which freaks Xena out. When he finds them in (insert world name), he (oodles? them and yadayada) eats what he considers a year's supply of red carrot donuts.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Some of the creatures that possess a hexagonal panel on themselves have red glowing eyes. Once the item is taken off of them, they revert to their natural, non-corrupted states without red eyes.
- Calling Your Attacks: Both the heroes and the non-powered Lawak Kampus characters have names for their attacks.
- Foil: Each chapter (excluding the first and last) features one or more characters from one series paired with (a) [similar(?) character(s) from the other, and how they work together to find their respective hexagon panel to escape.] [not all instances]

Uncertain which trope to pick:
- I Know Mortal Kombat or Genre Savvy?: Vanness deduces that the leader of the monsters would be at the peak of the mountain because every level has a boss in the Fictional Video Game "Cicaknote Hunter". It is also to that game he gives credit to for figuring out that the weak spot of the monsters for them to attack is the neck.
- Faceless Masses or Flashy Protagonists, Bland Extras?
- Mama Bear for the monster? Monster Is a Mommy

Testing a TRS OP to ensure the markup works right:
The problem: Nature Is Not a Toy is a trope about...nature not being nice? Attempts to harness nature going wrong? Nature fighting back against humanity? Those are some of the meanings from the wick check (more on that later). The description is very long and a bit rambly, and describes different ways the trope can play out, but does not really describe what the trope actually is. The Laconic ("It's not nice to abuse Mother Nature.") and original TLP draft (TLP laconic at the top: "Harnessing the natural forces that shape the universe needs to be treated with respect") aren't much of a help either, as they also fail to really describe this trope. War Jay 77 brought this trope up in Trope Talk, arguing that the definition was not clear at all:
- The image is of the Chernobyl disaster, but the description makes no note of whether or not Nuclear Energy counts. OTOH...
- The description is vague and rambly anyway and doesn't actually describe what sort of nature it's talking about. This means that...
- The examples are all over the place, some being DNA splicing, some being the use of radiation as shown in the picture, some being sound waves, and the real life examples just sort of talking about animals and generic shit.
So what is the actual point of the trope? How broad is it supposed to be and does it need action beyond the trope description cleanup drive?
I sensed a possible TRS problem (and not just a description problem), so I decided to do a wick check.
Wick check: Link here, but here's the quick results:
- 7/31 examples, or 22.58%, dealt with forms of science or scientific experiments going wrong (overlapping with Gone Horribly Wrong),
- 9/31 examples, or 29.03%, dealt with forms of nature or nature-based beings fighting back against humanity/manipualation (redundant with Gaia's Vengeance),
- 2/31 examples, or 6.45%, dealt with non-scientific abuse of nature going wrong (also overlapping with Gone Horribly Wrong),
- 3/31 examples, or 9.68%, dealt with general references to the destruction of nature or the environment,
- 2/31 examples, or 6.45%, lacked context or didn't fit the other categories, and
- 8/31 examples, or 25.81%, were unclassifiable.
Analysis: So, 9/31 examples (counting scientific and non-scientific abuses of nature going wrong) were redundant with Gone Horribly Wrong. As for the rest, 9/31 examples dealt with different forms of nature or nature-based beings fighting back against human manipulation (redundant with Gaia's Vengeance), and the rest were either unclassifiable or not in enough numbers to justify being their own thing.
Possible solution: I recommend a disambiguation, between Gone Horribly Wrong, Gaia's Vengeance, and possibly other tropes as well. I don't believe this trope is salvageable in its current state, and I think, given the overlap concerns with examples, a disambiguation is the way to go.
What does everyone else think? Any other ideas or suggestions?

TROPE REPORT WRITEUP:
- It's June time and many people will be graduating school, and as we go on, we should remember that Vitamin C (real name Colleen Fitzpatrick), a 90s to 2000s singer and actress, doesn't have a page on this wiki yet. Although she is primarily known for her Signature Song "Graduation (Friends Forever)", based upon "Pachelbel's Canon" Progression, there are also some tropes present in the music video as well as her other songs, and because she is also an actress, she has starred in a couple of films and television programs as well.
