openMildly bluenosed? Western Animation
We got a mild Bluenose Bowdlerizer on Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer. The rest of his edit seems to be legit, though, so if it's important enough for you guys perhaps just a simple PM to tropower should suffice?
openCreating new Fool and the Flying Ship page, but having trouble with parenthesis in title. Western Animation
Hello! I'm trying to create a new page for The Fool and the Flying Ship and I wanted to add in "Rabbit Ears" in the title in parenthesis like this "The Fool and the Flying Ship (Rabbit Ears)" to distinguish the difference between this adaptation with The Fool of the World and the Flying Ship. But, I keep having trouble with the parenthesis part as the title of the page keeps coming up as "The Fool and the Flying Ship Rabbit Ears." How do I add the parenthesis or apostrophes to the title of the page?

Edited by rafiopenSOS I need help with editing. Western Animation
So, you know how there are those buttons at the top of every article that say things like "Main", "YMMV", "Heartwarming", etc? Well, I just created the page Valley Of The Dinosaurs, but somehow instead of the button saying "Main", it says "Valley Of The Dinosaurs". Anyway to change it? If you click on the link, you'll see what I mean.

I've created a drinking game for Ben 10: Omniverse, but I can't figure out how to add a drinking game tab to the page. I don't see any option for it under, "create new."
openHow do I set a link to the tropes page I edit it on? Western Animation

openDeader than Dead Western Animation
Spoilers for The Legend of Korra!
Aang and the avatars before him are stated to be Deader than Dead due to Unalaq severing the connection between them and Raava. However, no one ever says that their spirits were destroyed for good, only that Korra can no longer communicate with them. Does that really count?
openDisney Sing-Along logos Western Animation
Does WesternAnimation.Disney Sing Along Songs have too many pictures if you open all the folders, or do pages like this not have a set limit?

Edited by blackyoshi3000openSpoilers for TMNT Season 4's last 4 episodes. Western Animation
I put up a note in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012)'s Discussion page and an edit with a note on the Trivia tab that warns not to put up spoilers for the last 4 episodes of the show until they air, but people have put them up anyway.
Should I remove them? I threatened to do so, but I'd like to ask.
open Voltron Shipping/Edit Wars. Again. Western Animation
User beckythespaceneko has been making a few biased ship based edits on the Voltron: Legendary Defender YMMV and Trivia pages. The account is recent and is only of those edits so I think it may be one of those suspended users from the last time this happened come back with a sock puppet.
Either way it feels like more tedious "Shipping X-fictional characters is equivalent to pedophilia" creeping in.
openHow do you create a page? Western Animation
Okay, I was just wondering, how do you create a page for something. There was this fanfic I wanted to add, and I really don't know how to create a page for it.
openProblematic editor. Western Animation
Dpaterson-bl1
has un-commented the Five-Man Band example on The LEGO Movie without adding one lick of context.
openTheMasterofDespair Western Animation
The Master of Despair
has only edited Characters.Chalkzone, but his edits include This Troper and a *ahem* "fixation" towards a character named "Beautiful Brain".
Taking for example, his Getting Crap Past the Radar entry: (edit: spoiler tagged for decency) "Getting Crap Past the Radar: While it's nothing major, Beautiful Brain sure has a shapely figure for a cartoon like this. She even has an ample pair of DD sized breast, which even jiggled when she got flustered. Also, remember that she is a Giant Woman, making her breast over a hundred, maybe even a thousand times the size of an ordinary woman's. Now take that, jumble up her face, and have her entire body drenched in rice pudding, with only her legs kicking back and forth in an sexually manner. Damn, I wish she appeared in more episodes." (I should note that everything past "Now take that..." was recently removed by another troper)

open Can't remember the name to this kids cartoon. Western Animation
I remember when I was little I used to watch this VHS tape at my grandmas house. I can't remember much of it because I was about 5 years old at the time. It would be a cartoon from 90s to the 00s, from what I can remember there were these kids and they went into either this tv or computer some kind of technology. Inside of this they were getting chased by shoes, they had like mouths but no teeth just a tongue, and they attacked the kids with the laces. I remember there being a spherical-ish floor they went across with a quilt like pattern purple maybe? and at one point they were flying on a carpet/blanket. Idk man it's been bugging me google hasn't helped me a bit because I think it's such an obscure thing :(
