openEdit warring Webcomic
It seems Geodude6 doesn't like his changes being contested and reverted one back on Characters.The Order Of The Stick The Order Of The Scribble without trying to discuss it.
I would have let it slide, except with all the other very arguable changes they'd made on the OotS character pages, one of which had required a mod revert, I'd say we have a problem troper here.
openHomestuck 2 Webcomic
Yo! I assume that you know that Homestuck 2 is finally out. And if you don't know that Homestuck 2 is finally out, then surprise! Homestuck 2 is finally out!
With that said, do we make a new works page for it, or place its tropes on the original Homestuck page?
openCant Make New Tropes Page Webcomic
I've been trying to make a trope page for the WEBTOONS webcomic Muted. My account is approved now, but whenever I try to follow the instructions on how to make a new tropes page, it says its under admin lock. Why is it locked? Is there another way to make a brand new page?
openAdd A Page Image Webcomic
I'm trying to add a page image for the webtoons webcomic Muted https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Webcomic/Muted
.
I went to edit, I clicked add image, I clicked submit, then done, then save, but when I go back to the page it still hasn't loaded the picture. What am I doing wrong?
open Not sure which trope this fits... Webcomic
...and I wasn't sure where to ask it. Is this
(panels 4 and 5) a weird take on Saying Sound Effects Out Loud or something else?
NOTE: The comic will give you a content warning but this one's SFW.
Edited by WillbyropenSmackjeeves Webcomic
I'm just carrying some news so sorry if this may be a repost (I haven't looked on the forums), but Smackjeeves recently had an overhaul that broke all old links to it from here on TV Tropes.
I just want to note two things: 1) Any old links in the various pages here will either need updating to the new links, to be replaced with links elsewhere (a lot of comic authors are leaving Smackjeeves), or to be excised entirely.
2) Let's just say the changes are really hated, so the YMMV page at Smack Jeeves may need to be watched for complaining and creator bashing.
Edited by Ngamer01openRecreating a cut page Webcomic
I'd like to know if I could recreate the page for Alterity. It was deleted for Zero Context Examples, but I have created a sandbox page at https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Sandbox/Zavegonzo
to demonstrate how a page for Alterity with well-written examples could look.
openPage needs moving? Webcomic
Webcomic.Dregs is being officially published
with the title "Drainers", so should the page be moved?
Also, should it be moved to the Comic Book namespace, since "Drainers" will have a physical release?
Edited by PrimisopenLil Char and the Gang editor has odd grammar Webcomic
So, there's this editor called Dimderi who made two bad edits. I'll link to them, in chronological order, and explain why they're bad.
1.
This is the only thing on the page. It's bad because of its poor grammar; and it's redundant, because we also what WMG pages are used for.
2.
This is bad because it uses poor grammar, is that "check" thing, and is the very first thing that people see when they look at the work page.
They may have made only 2 edits a week ago, on the same day, but should I delete the edits and PM Dimderi?
Edited by Playing_with_boyopenOOTS Shout Out Webcomic
On the ShoutOut.The Order Of The Stick page, Another Guy edited this entry:
- "That's Jack's Fault"
: Thor says he used to be a ginger until "that damn superhero comic book came out". The strip title is a reference to Jack Kirby, the artist that created Marvel's Thor. The title of the following strip, "The Highfather", continues the Kirby reference — "Highfather" being the leader of the New Gods that he created for DC.
to remove the last sentence, with the edit reason, "No. Odin was always called Highfather. Also, it's a pun on being stoned."
I googled, but could not find, a single reference to Odin being known as the Highfather; every combination of the terms that I tried only brought up references to the DC Comics character Highfather.
I PMed Another Guy about this, asking what reference he had for Odin being known as Highfather and he responded only that it doesn't matter because it's a part of the joke.
I've also started a discussion thread on the page about this, but I'd like more eyes on this and a consensus before adding it back.
openCyanide and Happiness moments pages are full off Zero Context Examples... Webcomic
Its literally nothing but "This" and links. This isnt kosher is it?
openGirl Genius Webcomic
On the work page of Girl Genius, there was this line in the description:
"Look over the Girl Genius character sheet, or talk about the comic in our discussion forum
for Girl Genius."
I removed the link to the character sheet, as it's redundant and I was told they have to be removed; however, what's the deal with the link to the forums? Is that allowed? I'm asking because Girl Genius seems to be very popoular on Tv Tropes (over 3000 wicks and Image Source for 36 tropes) so I'm not understanding if that link to the forum is something that kept going past the radar for years, or it was allowed by someone.
openCross Wink Links Won't Work Webcomic
I'm trying to do cross wink links for The Webcomic Muted. I'm trying to put a link under the abusive parents page, but even though I put the title in like the other entries, it doesnt like to Muted's tv tropes page. What am I missing? https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/AbusiveParents/WebComics
openAdd the Misadventures of Sonic the Hedgehog? Webcomic
Are we able to make suggestions for new works? If so, do you think add the fan webcomic, The Misadventures of Sonic the Hedgehog by Fallen Angel Cam 7? Fallen Angel Cam 7 himself said that No Context Sonic does the Sonic related stuff.
Edited by AutisticPhantomOtaku620openSelf-Pimping Webcomic
Very new account goliberalart
has only been making edits pertaining to the webcomic of the same name. Unsure if this is a problem, but it's certainly noticeable.
openHow do you add special characters to a title? Webcomic
I recently created a page for the webcomic "We Live In An MMO?!" but obviously the question mark and exclamation point aren't included in the title. Despite this I've seen plenty of other works that include them.
How would I go about adjusting this?
openKaizoku Sentai Power Rangers Kingkaiger (FanFic) is not thriving Webcomic
I have been trying to get this TV Tropes page to my fanfic up and going but I need some sleep as I have been up all night writing
This hyperlink will take you to the Fanfic Page.
It may not be a head start since this is my first works page but we have to make it thrive.
openOut-of-date page Webcomic
One of the webcomics I follow has a trope page, and the page is visibly behind the webcomic by several updates. (as in, the comic has a major cast of around ten, and around half of them aren't mentioned at all in the tropes list.) Is there a particular flag to put on such a work? The trope list seems too long to qualify as Works Needing Tropes but I'm also not clear if qualifies as Needs Wiki Magic Love either. I'm only an amateur troper, as you can tell; I've put some more examples on, but if there's a specific way to tag such a work page, I'd like to do it to this work.
Edited by TiberniusopenCharacter Folder Title Webcomic
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/Muted
I'm trying to make a new subfolder and character folder on this page for "Demons. For some reason, you can still see the "[[folder:]] around the name. The character's name is a spoiler so I want it to be hidden. I've tried it both as [[folder:name]] and i've tried is as just [[folder:name]] but the [[folder:]] is still visible. It seems like when I made the other folders for other characters I got the format right, so I don't know what I'm doing wrong for the demons?

I would like to ask for a reversion of all latest changes by Geodude6 on the page Characters.The Order Of The Stick Northern Lands.
Those changes include removing an accepted denomination and replacing it with what is basically a Fan Nickname, obfuscating things seriously for whoever isn't familiar with the comic.
I could make the changes but I'm not sure to catch everything, plus I don't want to be accused of edit warring.
