Why is Love And Capes troped under the Webcomic/ namespace when it was originally a dead tree Comic Book/ ?

While going through random media, I found Webcomic.Troperiffic Adventures. It had apparently been blanked in 2012 by iTroper, so I don't know if he or she would be still about.

Hello,
I was wondering: are Diving Save and Taking the Bullet mutually exclusive? I'm asking this because the Taking the Bullet page mentions this:
"This turns into a Diving Save if the rescuer pushes the victim out of the way without being hit by the shot."
It also seems that the Taking the Bullet trope implies more often than not that the person taking the bullet is performing an Heroic Sacrifice.
So, can both tropes apply in the case of someone being shielded from bullets which would have led to fatal injuries otherwise, but is 'still' shot elsewhere?
For context: in this comic strip
(Erfworld), Lilith saves Parson from incoming harm (taking two bullets which may very well have hit his vital organs - it is a little difficult to be sure because of the perspective) by performing a Taking the Bullet / Diving Save (she effectively tackles him to the ground and through a portal). Parson is shot in the legs, but will surely survive these wounds (a caster with a powerful Healomancy scroll is nearby and ready to use it, thus neither Parson nor Lilith should die from their injuries - well, Parson's fate is unsure at this point, as he is from our world and doesn't follow all of Erfworld's rules).
I initially added the Taking the Bullet entry to Lilith's character page
, but discovered than someone else already listed the Diving Save trope.

Any links to Paranatural formatted as Webcomic/Paranatural don't work, it has to be Para Natural instead, even though the page itself shows that's incorrect. Can anything be done about it?
open New troper and work page with major problems Webcomic
New troper Skeleking is having issues with basic grammar, spelling, and punctuation as well as Zero Context Examples. Unfortunately, (s)he dove right in and created a work page, wicca, which is chock-full of all of those problems.

open Kid and his toys Webcomic
I remember this cartoon in 1999-2001. It had a kid with toys. The toys were a dog, an alien in a ufo, a jungle barbie, a jungle man and a lizard. They came to life in his imagination and defeated perceived threats. I also remember an episode in a grocery store and him an his toys were alive and defeated a store clerk that was a monster or something.
openRecreate a webcomic page Webcomic
Just realized that the page for the webcomic Awaken was deleted and the page said to ask here if I can recreate it. So can I? I won't make it a stub. I have created pages for works before.
openClarissa Webcomic
I was going to make a page for the somewhat sad
webcomic Clarissa by Jason Yungbluth, but I think someone else tried to make one but it got shut down or something. I don't know, chief, I'm more lurker than man at this point.
If for some reason Clarissa is banned from TV Tropes then I understand and will return to my pastime of lurking.

How do you make a Tear-Jerker page for Gaia Online? It's Mainpage is a website, but I've seen tropes categorize it as "Videogame", "Webcomic", and sometimes "web original."

openPossible improper merge? Webcomic
There's got to be a better way to write this combined example from Go Get a Roomie!, I'm positive of it.
- Allergic to Love: Played for Drama with Roomie
, whose turbulent lifestyle inevitably causes anguish to anyone who has serious feelings for her. This becomes even more prominent in Chapter 26 when Roomie realizes she can't avoid the fact that she may have fallen in love with Lillian.
openSuitable trope depiction Webcomic
Ahoy!
I'd like to upload this strip
for the main page. I'm a bit on odd of which trope it suits the most.
My guesses are:
Colbert Bump: Started off as a minor deity but became very popular when the Furry Fandom got her in the radar.
Furry Fandom: Huge reason for her popularity.
Any other tropes that might suit?

I watched a tv show a couple of years ago (2000). I can only remember that it was a group of kids that travelled back in time and met a man and a mysterious owl. I think they were on an island. Anyone who knows what tv show I'm talking abou???
