I understand this is the proper place to report vandalism?
The page Sonic Girls was blanked by a troper named animatedjames, no reason given.
Edit: I've restored the page, even though it has some issues (like several page images), but I don't want to do any more editing until a mod gives the OK.

Handle misposted Flanderization on YMMV and doesn't seem to understand that Tarquin was an Unreliable Narrator and overinflated his genre-savviness, per Word of God.

The Order of the Stick (the name of the actual page) redirects to Order Of The Stick (which doesn't exist). Shouldn't it be the other way around? How doI fix this?

bluesaber has cutlisted Webcomic.Cats N Cameras with the reason "This is a NSFW comic that violates this site's family friendly policy with blatant sex in it." even though "blatant sex" is not in and of itself a violation of the Content Policy and it's up to the 5P to decide on anything's standing under the Content Policy, not random cutlisting.
Plus, it's not the first time they've unilaterally cutlisted stuff (and the 5P ruled it "Not Porn" in that instance) - see here.

Now that Webcomic.Chugworth Academy if out of P5's hands, I would like to raise a question of whether it's a stub or not. Most of the page consists of references to deleted content, author's other (pornographic) productions and general hate, but pretty much nothing about the comic itself. Without them, all that's left of the page would be this or even less.
You can read a review by The Webcomic Authority here.
This comic provides examples of:
- Animesque: Sure does show its influences.
- Fanservice: To the point where some strips are simply drawings of girls without any words being said.
- Off-Model: Most of the time, the characters don't have noses. Only when drawn in different angles do they then have noses.

There's someone who keeps removing "Shredded Moose" from the /Horrible/Webcomics page because he claims the hero went through some sort of reformation when at best he had a Pet the Dog moment. I'm putting this here as to get some referendum instead of one person trying to remove something and inciting an edit war.

We're having a little bit of a problem on the Jack (David Hopkins) pages. Not only has there been a lot of Justifying Edits and Natter in the past few months on the YMMV and main entry pages, but we're also having editors get rather rude to say the least.

I'm trying to add an in-universe reaction to the Fifty Percent Off page, like this:
FoeYayShipping [[InUniverse Directly referenced and stated]] when Gou ships two swimmers, and comments on how they supposedly hate each other, but also enjoy one another. , but it's still giving me the YMMV icon.
Am I doing something wrong, or is that supposed to happen even though I pothole In-Universe in there?

Here's one... I'm almost embarrassed to raise this, as I feel like I'm missing something ridiculously simple.
I noticed after a good long search - unless I've missed something - that the webcomic 1977:The Comic doesn't appear to have a Works page yet.
I got stuck on creating a link, so that I could click on the link, open a suitably titled page, and begin creating the page.
I am aiming at getting the title to appear as Webcomic: 1977 The Comic (ideally there should be a full colon in between "1977" and "The Comic", but this is the thing about punctuation marks)
But however I try to do it, instead of the expected red link to travel to and fill with content, nothing appears to be happening. I can do it in the form of Nineteen Seventy Seven The Comic, but this does not return the title in numerical form 1977. Is there anything I'm missing out here and should be doing, or is this a case of requesting a custom title?
Thanks for help!

There's possibly an edit war breaking out in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic S4 E14 "Filli Vanilli". I'm not sure how to put it in detail other than one troper keeps removing something and another readds it.

Requesting reversion. Some body uncommented a bunch of ZCE's on Characters.Kubera. There are a couple good edits buried within all that, but those can be dealt with after.

What's the point of Doc Scratch ? I'm pretty sure that page used to be in Self-Demonstrating and it was just as terrible then as it is now. Why should some random character get their own page in the Main namespace that doesn't even bother demonstrating their verbal quirk?
Doc Scratch is known for typing in unreadable white font and being very polite, bordering on condescending. That page is just a bunch of character tropes poorly written in first person.
Just doesn't seem to me like a page that should exist, but I don't think "I think this page is dumb" is a valid reason to cutlist something.

Taken from the new pages fixing thread: genius66 created the page With Fetus only with Zero Context Examples.
What's more, they already did this sort of thing before - for A Frog in Arkham Asylum ([1]), Jade Cobra ([2]) and Jade Dragon ([3] - the parentheticals are here because the pages were edited in the meantime, making the first edit disappear). When I messaged them over this, they said they wanted to leave the pages out for a while. Two pages were (in part) fixed by other editors, but now they've created a page with contextless examples again.
I don't think messaging them again will help; I was recommended to bring this up for staff attention.
Hi there! I recently found a fairly recent Furry webcomic called "The Great Suitor", but there isn't anything about it on Tv Tropes. I wanted to ask if it's possible to create a page about it, and if someone could possibly help me doing it (i've never written a Tv Tropes page before! xD) The webcomic link is here: http://thegreatsuitor.jimdo.com/ It's still very amatorial, but I think it shows some promises.
