How do you get the "Moments" icons to appear at the top of the page? I just created a "Moment of Awesome" subpage for That '70s Show and there is already a "Moment of Funny" subpage but neither appear at the top of the main page.

Ok Folks I am looking for some other tropers who know about the series Death Lands and can add to the page. As it stands right now. I have gleaned a few random examples from around the site and the rest is from my reading the first novel. Any help fleshing out the page would be nice.
openNo Title Western Animation
The Young Justice page has a bit of an edit war going on about whether or not to add examples for episodes of a series that have not aired yet, even though a preview of the episode (which the examples are supposedly coming from, I have not verified) is up on the Cartoon Network website.

How do you add a YMMV, WMG, Troper Tales, or other tab to an article that doesn't have one?

The So Bad It's Horrible fanfic page has gotten ridiculously large, so I made a page for bad authors. Can it get the flame bait banner?

On Five Man Band Video Games O-S
a user by the name of Troper Almighty keeps up an edit war reguarding the Sonic The Hedgehog entry. He keeps shoehorning the character Shadow, who leads a completley seperate team, into the line up as The Lancer. Myself and others have given reasons as to why he doesn't fit into Sonic's group several times, but he Troper Almighty just refuses to accept this and keeps on edit warring. On his previous edit, he just deleted the Sonic entry. Is there anything a mod can do?

I'm confused about editor "emeriin" @ 82.8.191.189. He's been editing Nostalgia Critic examples out of pages for almost a month
, most of them with no explanation for why they're edited out. They all seem to be examples, lampshades, or discussions of tropes. Oddly, he seems to be a fan of the series, based on his edits to the Critic and Chick's pages, so I don't just wanna cry "hater." Thoughts?

I may be overreacting here, but just in case:
You might wanna keep an eye out for Random Chaos.
He's been more or less paying no heed to any conventional rules of grammar and spelling (seriously, a sizeable portion of his recent history looks like it was typed while drunk) and leaving the rest of us to correct for his mistakes, (mistakes your average elementary student catches onto quite easily, mind you) that is, the ones that don't render his contributions nigh-incomprehensible.
Again, there's a good chance I'm blowing this out of proportion. But it can't hurt, can it?

Don't we have a "medium" choice for (Video) Games? I'm trying to post one in Remember That Show, but it was mysteriously left off of the list (as well as here[!!!]). Any help?

Would I be allowed to make these changes to Locked Pages?
