Kingdom Live Action TV
I'm happy to create it myself (with some trepidation as a fairly newbie troper admittedly) but wanted to check first;
Is there a specific reason there's no page for Kingdom (the mma tv series?)
Nerd Action Hero Picture Live Action TV
What's the name of the TV show/film of the picture on the "nerd action hero" page? It drives me crazy!
Discovery Channel Survival Series Live Action TV
15 or 20 years ago, the Discovery Channel ran a survival series regarding survival stories in different climates/conditions. One was about Alan Cooper, who tried to drive his Morris car from Kenya north through the Sahara desert and died with some of his companions. The 2nd was a couple and their baby that got stuck in a snowstorm (after Hot-tubing) and left their car to find a ranger station and the wife died from eating snow in order to produce breast-milk. The 3rd was a woman who survived a plane crash in the jungle and was rescued by a canoe. Another nights episode told the story of a family driving in an African desert and got a flat tire and got stranded. The husband was picked up by someone with a car but when he finally got back, his whole family was dead from the heat. How can I view this series again?
Mc Name in Creator Page Live Action TV
I recently made a Creator page for Katharine McPhee and noticed it's showing up as Katharine Mc Phee
I checked other creator pages and Mc seems to show up as intended. Did I screw up somehow? I know you use [ = Mc Name = ] but not sure how this applies with created links.

Young Sheldon character page Live Action TV
Is there a reason why Young Sheldon The Cooper Family exists as a separate page? It is literally 6 links to go to The Big Bang Theory Family Members.

Mr. Right There in Front of You Live Action TV
What do we call the trope that’s being lampshaded here?
Wrong Namespace. Live Action TV
Would Series.This House Has People In It, Series.Too Many Cooks and Series.Unedited Footage Of A Bear be proper use of the Series/ namespace?
At a glance, it seems to fit more in either Film/ or WebVideo/...

Edit War Live Action TV
The TV Lubber has started an edit war on Power Rangers Ninja Steel.
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/article_history.php?article=YMMV.PowerRangersNinjaSteel
They have this thing. Where they refuse to take anyone else's opinion on anything and delete anything negative about a work they like. Which isnt kosher .
This seems to be a recurring problem with them as was pointed out here:

Edit War Live Action TV
TroperBeDoper added the following to Doctor Who S37E7 "Kerblam!":
- Anvilicious: The Aesops of "don't let automation steal jobs from real people" and "technology isn't the problem but how people use it" are delivered with Chibnall's trademark lack of any subtlety.
SirAdamus removed the example, TroperBeDoper has added it back.
Shadowhunters - Clary Live Action TV
I there a name or trope for clary's ability in shadowhunters? that thing she does with the cup (putting inside a card) or in the first episode when she puts a biscotti inside a piece of paper?
Edit War Live Action TV
TheSaddleman added an example for Ship Tease on YMMV.Magnum PI 2018, I removed it since ShipTease is not a YMMV trope, Saddleman has recently re-added the example.
Gonna do a page for Kidding yet? Live Action TV
I had been coming to this site on and off hoping to see a page for the new dramady series Kidding starring Jim Carey. So far a page had not been set up yet. Are you guys waiting for the series finale? Is the show that unpopular? I just want to know when the tropers are get on Kidding.
Internet Backdraft criteria Live Action TV
A new episode of The Good Place came out a few hours ago, with its recap page getting a YMMV page saying it got an Internet Backdraft from "many viewers". I looked around and couldn't find any backlash, significant or otherwise. Most reviews I've found like the episode a lot, with one saying it lacks focus but that's not really Internet Backdraft as I understand it, with discussion forums for the episode being mostly positive as well.
What's the criteria for IB, and what should be done with the page since that's its only entry? As written it seems to be less about the content of the episodes or how it was written so much as 'a thing people wanted to see didn't happen' or 'this character didn't do a thing'.

Spoilers on moments pages Live Action TV
There is a character in The Flash (2014) who went by a different name before a major reveal. goldenroad changed all references to him on the funny and nightmare fuel tabs to his real name, long before the reveal, therefore spoiling it for anyone who wants to look at the folder for episodes dozens of episodes before the reveal. And this isn't the first time.
I'm reverting it (it was too long ago for a system revert), but I'm requesting he get a hard tap on the shoulder.
Edit War Live Action TV
2 days ago I removed a Broken Base example from the YMMV page for The Haunting of Hill House, leaving an edit reason explaining that there's a 6 month waiting period for adding Broken Base examples. Brony Of The Octaves re-added it and looking through the history of the page reveals that they are the ones who added the example in the first place. Also looking through the rest of their edits, they appear to have issues with Example Indentation.
Super-long Riverdale Entries Live Action TV
'hiddenelastic' has been adding a lot of long entries to the Riverdale character pages, some of them being Wall of Text, and has been adding a ton of tropes to the pages in general (in particular the main characters; Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead). While I do admire his/her commitment to the show, I'm concerned because I feel that, at this point, the Riverdale character pages are getting bloated with too much information.

Edit war Live Action TV
Tv Lubber has officially edit-warred on the ymmv page of Power Rangers Megaforce. They added a base breaking character entry in May and than I deleted it, only for them to readd it.
This ignores the fact that the guy does not have any fans at all and there needs to be at least equal number of detractors and supporters for it to be a proper example. They also didn't bother to cite any actual fans of him other than themselves as well. They seem to really like this character and wont take criticism of them (even if its warranted).

Emotionally baggaged number dialing Live Action TV
Alice and Bob have had a falling out. After a while, both realize they miss each other and constantly dial the other's phone number to apologize but never end up going through with the call.
Alice and Bob may be siblings, old friends or (ex)couples.

Reality TV Scrappy Live Action TV
This might be a stupid question, but I was unable to find it actually answered for sure anywhere.
I see that when using The Scrappy, the bottom of the page says No Real Life Examples, Please!. Does this extend to reality TV as well? As in, the YMMV pages of reality TV shows should NOT have any form of The Scrappy (including Rescued from the Scrappy Heap) listed on the page at all? (As in using contestants or participants of the show as examples).
I ask because recently someone deleted all examples and text of The Scrappy and Rescued from the Scrappy Heap from the YMMV page of Hell's Kitchen (quite a lot, since it was an accumulation of 17 seasons worth). If this edit is valid and correct, then I assume there are probably many other reality shows that require this clean-up on their YMMV pages as well.
Again, sorry if a stupid question, just wanted confirmation and the red or green light to clean up other reality TV YMMV pages. Thanks!
Splitting apart a shared character ppage Live Action TV
So this
page is shared by the movie and the TV show Constantine. Is there any way to link the character button on the movie page directly to this
page, so I can rework the first one?
I want to rearrange it in the vein of the other ArrowVerse show character pages, like here
.
