opensubject of creating nightmare fuel page Music
I am trying to create a nightmare fuel page for the band Cephalic Carnage but have no idea how. Help please?
openFridge.Music Music
Can the Fridge page for Music be reverted to a previous version before Costanton 11 approved on the removing the signatures, as they're the ones that had first person references, and possibly Troper Tales and natter?
It's part of forum thread
that I'm putting in, and reverting it to a previous version makes it easier to know which are the first-person entries so that it would be easier to be edited and removed.
Requesting because I'm on limited resources; I'm using my phone at the moment and I'm using mobile data.

There's an All-Blue Entry and spoiler text line before the trope list on The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny.
For the All Blue Entry, I think maybe cut all the potholes except the ones for the works where the characters are from
open1000 Gecs page move? Music
There's a page for 1000 gecs, an album by the band 100 Gecs but no actual page for the band themselves. Additionally, their only output aside from the album so far is one EP. While I could see a page for the album being justifiable after further albums are released, it seems odd right now to have a page for their only album but not the creators. Should the 1000 Gecs page be cut and moved over to a new page for the band?
Edited by Pemulis_128openInconsistent namespacing with Standard Snippet subpages Music
Is there a reason why some of the Standard Snippet subpages are under Music/ (eg. Ride of the Valkyries) and list examples as Standard Snippet (eg. "Standard Snippet: Ride of the Valkyries plays as Alice rides into battle"), while some are under Main/ (eg. Amazing Freaking Grace) and list examples as themselves (eg. "Amazing Freaking Grace: This plays at Alice's funeral")?

I have been reading the Dark Reprise page and a couple of the links are private why is that?
openRenaming The Wrecking Crew Music
I notice that The Wrecking Crew has been renamed to The Wrecking Crew Music. It seems like the namespace system would make that redundant. Was there any discussion before the page was moved? Should I move it back?
openUnnecessarily cut WMG and Headscratchers Music
Hi, I noticed that the WMG and Headscratchers pages for Kidz Bop were cut on account of being nothing but "complaining", but I don't see anything wrong about either of them. From what I remember, the WMG one was just users predicting what songs will be on the next album and the Headscratchers page was asking why the franchise didn't cover a certain song. I don't see what's so wrong about that. I do say it is a bit surprising how people actually take this franchise seriously enough to trope it, but I guess it's because it is well-known.
openIs this actually less of a ZCE? Music
The Awesome Music entry for Visage simply said that every song of theirs are awesome. Then, a troper decided to make it less of a Zero Context Example by adding specific song names. Except... That's not more context, right? Both examples are referring to a specific set of songs, and neither version actually says anything about them.

This page is listed as a sub-page, despite being work pages, and has been unnoticed since 2012. Can one of you guys fix that?
open What's that r&b song called? Music
What was that song called that was played on Friday February 21 two month ago between 12:40 and 12:55 pm during the Throwback hour at noon that features I think DJ Breeze? It was on the Charleston South Carolina radio station Z93 Jamz, which is 93.3, call letters WWWZ. It was part of a dj song mashup and it goes something like this, "I'm Bout To Find Me; Another Man," I couldn't really tell what the vocals were singing, but I do know that it was female vocals that sounded like either, Mary J. Blige, Faith Evans, Angie Stone, Chante Moore, Kelly Price, Lauryn Hill, Ce Ce Peniston, Deborah Cox, or Alicia Keys. If anybody has any information, please let me know, thanks.

openSo Bad It's Horrible Music Albums Music
There seems to be an edit war, um, sauntering on Music: Albums . I say "sauntering" because the removed example was taken down a month after it was last added. The entry in question is for the Genesis album Calling All Stations. Page history here: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/article_history.php?article=Horrible.MusicAlbums
. Perhaps it's time for a discussion?

openShould there be tropes for guitar tunings? Music
Guitarists in many genres utilize countless different guitar tunings for various reasons: drop tunings for easier and faster fingering of low power chords, standard tunings for easier playing of spider chords, etc, and tuning often forms a big part of riff-writing, so I thought it might be worthwhile to associate these tunings with the musicians on this wiki.
open Can someone fix the Tofie page? Music
The page for electronic musician Tofie is a complete mess. Half the tropes are misused and are seemingly only there for the creator to gush over how attractive they think the artist is, one of them is a ZCE, and the page isn't even indexed. I'd do it myself, but I have no idea where to start.
Edited by PhysicalStaminaopenMusic.Madonna Music
The page image for Madonna was changed months ago without providing any Image Pickin' discussion. In my opinion, while it's a "better image" than the previous one, it's kinda gaudy to me. So, I had set up an Image Pickin' discussion
in regards to a better suggestion than that one that also associates Madonna and her whole career.
