Threshold for spoilers? Live Action TV
I'm curious; what is the threshold for spoilers? I was reading over Karmic Death, looking at the Game of Thrones example. This bit:
The fact Oberyn loses to Clegane, the Red Wedding bit and the reveal it was Olenna who poisoned Joffrey
I'd have thought would all be spoilered. Granted, if you are still watching the show and on this site that's kind of on you, lol, but I was curious if there was a reason those were not spoilered or if they should be?

User making DracoInLeatherPants'ing edits Live Action TV
Hi, I'd like to report Tropers/hacash for making several edits to the Ted Lasso page that ignore factual information presented on the show in order to lionize the character of Nate Shelley. I've already approached them about this in private messages in the past and they seemed to back off, but clearly they've decided to just lay low for a while before doing it again. In the interest of avoiding an Edit War I wanted to bring this to the mods' attention.

Wrong Recap Title Live Action TV
Hi all. Not really sure where this goes, but this recap page title RiverdaleS05E10Chapter86ThePincushionmen is wrong and should be RiverdaleS05E10Chapter86ThePincushionMan. Where should I report this? Thanks!

Potential edit war Live Action TV
Troper Metal Max 1991 has been constantly re-adding Alternate Self to MCU: Benjamin Poindexter that connects it to the 2003 Daredevil movie even though those films haven’t ever crossed over or been connected so they’re not canon. Are they commiting an edit war?

How many tropes on this site? Live Action TV
I appreciate the site is constantly evolving, and that tropes are added and removed along the way, but is there any way to determine how many tropes are currently on the site in total? It's for some research I'm doing! Many thanks. S.

Locked Pages Live Action TV
Is there a way to get permission to edit a locked page if you had something to contribute? ETA: Nevermind, I found it, and I'm sorry for not searching before I asked.

Will Trent Page disappeared Live Action TV
What happened to everything Will Trent?
Should we follow the RPDR wiki's example? Live Action TV
This hasn't gotten any responses since I posted it on a discussion page a few days ago, so I'm bringing it here to get more eyes on it.
Anyway, the RuPaul's Drag Race wiki recently announced
that they plan to remove all contestants' real names from the wiki, with the exception of a select few who have some name recognition out of drag. For context, contestants on Drag Race are almost exclusively referred to by their drag names on the show, and most queens do not actively publicize their real names. However, a few of them have non-drag media careers outside the show where they go by their real names, and, more to the point, Drag Race fans are very nosy and very good at sleuthing, so nearly all the queens' real names are plastered all over the internet. This includes Drag Race's many character pages on this very wiki as well as some Creator/ pages for queens who have notable post-show careers.
Between Drag Race's notoriously toxic fandom, which has a serious harassment problem that can genuinely endanger the queens at times, and the recent rise in queerphobic and anti-drag sentiment, safety concerns have been raised about having personal information about the queens readily accessible, which I assume is why the Drag Race Wiki is doing this. I'm not really sure how to address this, nor do I feel comfortable doing a cleanup like this unilaterally, so I bring the question to you: should we delete all out-of-drag names on Drag Race's character pages, keep those that might be considered notable, or simply leave the "real name" listings as-is? And should whatever policy we choose also extend to the Creator/ pages of former Drag Race contestants?

Possible WhatAnIdiot Quote Live Action TV
So I want to add a quote from Robbie Rotten into the What An Idiot where during the "We Are Number One" song he screams WHAT ARE YOU DOING? at his minions after they slipped on the banana peels Robbie just set up to try and stop Sportacus seconds ago. And his minions should have clearly seen him set up those banana peels since they were walking towards Robbie. If it doesn't fit, what trope would the quote fit better in?
Biased Edits to One Tree Hill pages Live Action TV
whisperhugscoundrel has made a number of edits to the YMMV and Recap pages for One Tree Hill that honestly read as their not liking something said about a specific character.
Their edits to the YMMV page are largely pro-Brooke/Brucas. Whilst you could argue it's justified due to the nature of the page, some of the edits feel as if they're trying to villainize anyone who points to the canonical events of the show whilst justifying it as their supporting another ship.
The edits to the Recap pages also have no explanation has been given for the removal of tropes, but the common thread on those edits is they're just removing things that paint Brooke in a less than positive light despite being valid examples of the tropes.
I feel like some of the YMMV edits at the very least need rewriting to be less biased, and have already removed the edits that are particularly inflammatory for the time being. I haven't restored the edits on the Recap pages at this point, as I don't want to be accused of starting an edit war despite there being no reason given for their removal.
Basically I'm just looking for guidance as for how to proceed at this point

Pedro Pascal Star-Making Role Live Action TV
The Star-Making Role entry on Creator.Pedro Pascal currently lists three performances; does it look excessive?
- Star-Making Role: Oberyn Martell widely exposed Pascal's talents to the public. The one-two punch of The Mandalorian and The Last of Us later proved that he could headline a successful show, with The Last of Us in particular helping him earn a spot in TIME Magazine's 100 most influential people of 2023.
Edit war - Characters.DragRaceEspanaSeason3 Live Action TV
A couple of days ago, Nefisis added an Old Soldier example for one of the contestants (edit) on Drag Race España Season 3.
After double-checking with "Is this an example?", I cut it (and many more examples across the other Drag Race pages), as it was being used for an older drag queen rather than in the usual military context. The edit reason explained and linked to that thread.
Nefisis has just added it back again (misuse notifier sent).
Am I ok to delete it?

Fixing note Live Action TV
How do I fix the note section in the ghostly animals trope in Ghosts (UK)? The note appears as [[note]] rather than a small note hovering above like it should do.

Reporting Edit Warring and Vandalism Live Action TV
Editor Rm74 has made repeated edits in the Euphoria pages (Character and YMMV as far as I know, but I haven’t checked the other Euphoria pages) that exaggerate a character’s negative traits and actions beyond reason— even outright making stuff up about them that they haven’t done or that they aren’t— and a lot of their edits are simply bizarre. I know that YMMV is opinion based, but even still their edits are beyond exaggeration, or even again just them making stuff up. Myself and some other editors have made attempts to fix these Ron The Death Eater style edits, but RM74 has repeatedly gone and added them back in or made new outlandish edits.
No Title Live Action TV
I’m changing Martin to making it say Martin (1992). As I copy and paste the trope examples from both pages, if there’s an image, do I have to go to the Image Removing page to remove image?
Actor Referenced By... Live Action TV
Can actors have their own Referenced by... pages? TIL that Nicole Kidman has one.
