Due to their loose following of canon and their Lighter and Softer tone, fans widely consider the sequels and the series as disappointing and inferior to the original film. Only three things stay consistent with the sequels and the series: the amount of time between the second film and the series (two years), David's age (ten years old), and Charlie's age (four, in human years). However, among audiences, the sequels are often more popular for the same reason.

I've seen a few Trivia pages which don't have TV Tropes-type trivia but more like IMDB-type trivia lists. Should the non-standard Trivia be deleted if it can't be correctly formatted?
An example is Trivia.Before Watchmen, which other than the first item isn't in the format "Trope Title: Explanation" but instead a bunch of trivia.

Minor request. Can somebody change what shows up when the link to The 7D is written as WesternAnimation/The7D, it shows up as "The 7D" instead of "The 7 D" which has the space between the 7 and D. The show is titled without the space between the number and the letter.
Thank you in advance.

Am I the only Troper here who sees anything wrong with how these examples on The Princess And The Frog are written?
- Be Careful What You Wish For: Naveen wished to be "free", and becoming a frog certainly freed him from his old responsibilities — "You just wanna be free - hop from place to place!" Also, pay careful attention to when Dr. Facilier is doing the cards. "...and when I look into your future it's the green that I see..." Shortly after which Naveen was turned into a frog. His happy, instrument-playing rich-boy appearance on the card is also surrounded by what appears to be a lily pad...
- Deal with the Devil:
- The source of Dr. Facilier's powers with the souls of the entire city of New Orleans as an installment. It doesn't work out so well.
- This is also Facilier's method of choice. It's apparent that he can't just kidnap the Prince by force, his magic will only work if he gets Naveen to make a deal with him first (Naveen of course has no idea what he's truly agreeing to).
If anyone sees anything wrong with these examples, please let me know how I can clean them up.

Please forgive me if there's somewhere a dedicated thread in the forum for this problem, but a quick search showed up none.
A slew of custom titles for episodes of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic have recently been submitted; however those that happened to be more than 64 characters long (the limit for the "Custom Display" field on the Custom Wikiword Request page) ended up being truncated.
However, I know for a fact that it is possible for custom titles to be over 64 characters, as in for example in the same series: My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic S2 E15 "The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000" (a whooping 83 characters), or in another: Batman: The Animated Series E40 "If You're So Smart, Why Aren't You Rich?" (73 characters).
So, can this titles be corrected directly? Do I need to re-submit them? (I guess there was a big backlog of requests lately, which can explain why those titles would have slipped past the radar.) Or is there another process to solve this problem?
Just in case, the concerned titles are:
- My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic S2 E22 "Hurricane Fluttershy"
- My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic S2 E23 "Ponyville Confidential"
- My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic S 2 E 24 Mystery On The Friendship Express
- My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic S 2 E 25 A Canterlot Wedding Part 1
- My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic S2 E26 "A Canterlot Wedding – Part 2"
- My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic S3 E1 "The Crystal Empire – Part 1"
- My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic S3 E2 "The Crystal Empire – Part 2"
- My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic S3 E6 "Sleepless in Ponyville"
- My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic S3 E10 "Spike at Your Service"
- My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic S3 E11 "Keep Calm and Flutter On"
- My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic S3 E13 "Magical Mystery Cure"
- My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic S4 E1 "Princess Twilight Sparkle – Part 1"
- My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic S4 E2 "Princess Twilight Sparkle – Part 2"
- My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic S4 E8 "Rarity Takes Manehattan"
- My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic S4 E16 "It Ain't Easy Being Breezies"
- My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic S4 E17 "Somepony to Watch over Me"
- My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic S4 E20 "For Whom the Sweetie Bell Toils"
- My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic S4 E22 "Testing Testing 1, 2, 3"
- My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic S4 E23 "Inspiration Manifestation"
- My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic S4 E25 "Twilight's Kingdom – Part 1"
- My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic S4 E26 "Twilight's Kingdom – Part 2"

The site has a lot of whole episode moments and if i recall, they cannot be a DMOS, should i delete them?
Plus someone tried to use alternate accounts (Shinysqueak, spongebutt and haroldflower) to bypass the one moment rule for 'I was a teenage Gary', 'Great snail race', and 'Born again Krabs'. You can clearly see that they each have similar writing styles that its obvious that it is done by a single person. Is it okay to let this through?

On Expy.Western Animation, Alternative Cola readded a bad example
.
It was pulled a month ago with the reason "i questioned in the "is this an example" thread. This was the answer." and... well, knowing Naruto and Avatar it's just an awful example.

I forget, should animated short films such as the Pixar shorts go under "Western Animation" or "Animated Film"?

Moses Z
did do a very large edit on Characters.Rugrats that took out almost the entire page. I've reverted them; not sure if it was a vandal edit or a Data Vampire thing (I think it's the latter), but their formatting is kind of bad.

cake25 left a rude edit reason on Characters.Frozen when reverting a sinkhole. On the other hand, they also cleaned up a few ZCE's, so I think they just need a quick poke from someone with authority.

Might I suggest locking Characters/Frozen for a month or two? It seems to be quite the little trouble page.

Someone re-spoiled and outright deleted some tropes about the main villain despite the top of the page saying unmarked spoilers.

In one episode of Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!! there is a cute critter that turns out to be a dangerous, shape-shifting monster. However, eventualy it proves that dangerous doesn't necessairly mean "evil" and saves the day.
I am pretty sure that's some play with Killer Rabbit trope, but I'm not sure which one:
Is it an inversion, because it's a giant not-cute animal that turns out to be peacful? Is it a subversion, because critter is hinted to be a killer (by his appearence) and then revealed to be harmless after all?

This is the first time I'm actually snitching on myself, but I think it's best for a mod to show up on the discussions page for the character sheet for the movie Frozen because I got into a heated argument with a troper regarding abusive parents ,before things get ugly fast.
