open Unexplained Page Lock Western Animation
Funny/Frankenweenie has been locked, but the short page history does not appear to show any hostile behavior, excessive debate, vandalism, or anything unwanted ever being on the page. Is there a reason for this particular case?
Edited by 8BrickMarioopen Spurious lock
Oh man... I somehow got the trope page for Mabel locked again... could a mod open it back up whenever they get the chance? I think I'm gonna stick to compiling everything in a draft til this locking issue is resolved. Thanks!
Edited by DipperPinesopen How do I get this user properly reported? Music
The article for SOPHIE was vandalized a few hours ago by this troper named weissman88, and going through their edit history, they specifically target any articles with LGBTQ content, including editing in dead names and improper pronouns for both characters and real people, and deleting some content altogether. Is there a more direct way to report this other than Contact Us, or is that the best option?
Edited by number9roboticopen Page locks on Chick Magnet, I Have Many Names and and Exiled From Continuity
Chick Magnet, I Have Many Names and Exiled from Continuity are all probable spurious page locks. I don't know if any of them were locked before the site update but all three are locked now.
openCan “Break the Cutie” be a part with the “Moral Event Horizen” comparisons?
The reason why I ask this is because the villain is attempting to break an innocent soul so he/she can either commit Suicide or turn them evil. Because of those reasons, I see that breaking the cutie should count as a villain crossing the MEH.
(PS, Sorry for my bad grammar. I speak fluent English, I just have trouble forming words myself...)
open Spurious Page Lock Literature

This page has been spuriously locked. It needs to be re-opened.
open How do I go back to the old site?
I hate the new site, and want to go back to the old site. How do I do it?
openDo we have a project to disambig works?
I noticed that that several Tropers were asking about making work pages of the same title and namespace into disambig pages like Malady's one here or Crossover-Enthusiast's here and I was wondering if there is project for that sort of thing like the Franchise Namespace Correction where Tropers can add pages to moved and discuss what needed to be done
A quick check and I can only find the Changing Main redirects into Disambigs.... forum thread
I have done a few myself but I know of some more that might nee changing like Max Steel/Max Steel (2013), The Secret Life of Walter Mitty/The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (1947), Dillinger/Dillinger (1945)
openRandom media button
Any chance that there will be a “random media” button put up next to the “random trope” button sometimes in the future?
openYMMV Page at Creators.TVTokyo
Creator.TV Tokyo has a YMMV page at YMMV.TV Tokyo.
I know that creators aren't allowed YMMV pages, but how about the two entries there, which is a meme about that TV network's editorial practices? As I read on the two links, it's a well-known meme in Japan.
Edited by SamCurtopen This cartoon is bugging me since forever
Hi, so when i was Younger i used to watch this cartoon with dark colors like a bit of 'vampiresque' feel, and there was this little kid that could cross over his Mirrors to another world. In this world everything was on another side like, if a chair in his house was on his right, inside the mirror it was on his left. And for what i can remember there were monsters and he was friends with them. I tried searching on Google but i cant find it anywhere. Im getting crazy with this helpppppp
Edited by NeuzaopenAnother error
When I tried to edit Main.Rasputinian Death, I came across an error that says No Real Life Examples, Please!, even though my example was in the Video Games section.
