I wanna make a “Video Game” trope Videogame

I want to make “O2Jam” rhythm game in TV Tropes Wiki, how do I do it?

IvanovTroping97 edit warring? Videogame

I removed a Catharsis Factor entry he put in YMMV.The Fairly Odd Parents because it was Square Peg, Round Trope. Catharsis Factor has to do with the way you relieve stress while doing something.

Here's the entry I removed:

• Catharsis Factor: Even though it was unintentional on Timmy's part, some fans found Trixie getting hurt by Timmy in "Beach Bummed!" to be rather satisfying after what she did to him in the episodes "Class Clown" and "Just the Two of Us!".

In hindsight, mentioning that the entry reading like a Take That, Scrappy! entry in the edit reason was a bad idea, because he readded it, but under Take That, Scrappy!. Even though Trixie isn't a Scrappy.

EDIT: Whoops, I put this under Video Games by accident.

EDIT 2: And I put Tootie's name instead of Trixie's. God I am off today.

(Probably) incorrect custom title Videogame

There is a gamer stereotype about the player who takes the game so seriously that he has to tell other people to stop having fun (and play to win, presumably).

I've heard this stereotype called a '"Stop having fun" guy', i.e. a guy who tells other people to stop having fun.

The trope for this is named in plural ('guys' rather than 'guy') and I've always though about this page as being called '"Stop Having Fun" Guys' and I seem to remember that used to be called that. But now I see that it has a custom title with a comma: Stop Having Fun, Guys.

The comma turns the trope name from the name for the stereotype (a compound noun) to what this gamer supposedly says (a phrase). This makes some kind of sense as a trope name, but I don't think it's what the trope is actually supposed to be called. In the trope description, the stereotype is referred to as a '"Stop having fun" guy", and other trope pages such as Scrub also use that form, without the comma.

So I think that whoever submitted the custom title either made a typo or had misunderstood the trope name.

How do we proceed with this? To start with, does anybody agree with me that it has the wrong custom title?

Frustrated by lack of discussion. Videogame

I recently bore witness to what, in my mind, is an... overzealous pruning of the That One Boss page for Bloodborne, with one user making the argument that every boss not 100% necessary for game completion is a Bonus Boss, and therefore ineligible for inclusion. And that therefore all DLC bosses are "Bonus Bosses," and so on.

Now, I disagree with this interpretation, for reasons I've laid out on that page's discussion, in addition to the fact that it sure sounds like a lot of semantic trickery. But, when I tried to argue my case there, the user that instigated the original cuts stonewalled me and told me to argue my case on the Cleanup Thread; that they were only following the definition of the trope as listed (which I can't argue they are, if in the most narrow-minded and hamfisted way possible).

So, I did. And there's been no response, either from the party I'm in dispute with or any potential useful third parties.

I guess my question is, what should I do when I don't want to edit-war and would love to try to discuss my issues in a reasonable and respectful way, but the other party simply insists their point of view is correct and denies me the chance to plead my case in either of the two provided fora?

Troper going off the rails in the Dragon Age pages Videogame

Give 1 Take 2 has been a regular editor of the Dragon Age pages. They have made substantial contributions to several pages, and provided thoughtful insight on several topics.

Problem is, they've lately started going off the rails regarding "the franchise's anti-elf bias" and how elves are being oppressed, along with bashing certain character (specifically, Aveline from DAII and Sera from DAI). It's getting to the point that most of their recent additions to these pages are nothing but character bashing.

A discussion thread was started in one of the character pages, but it didn't attract much attention, so I thought I'd bring the subject here.

ETA: Now that I'm on pc instead of mobile, I'll provide a few links to their recent edit history:

• Re: Mythal
• Re: Morrigan
• Re: Fenris
• Re: Aveline
• Re: Sera (I linked just the most recent one here; scroll down for more examples)

X meets Y: Characters issue Videogame

A while ago, a user named numbahloki16 deleted a bunch of entries on the "X Meets Y" Video Game Characters" page, as shown in the edit history page, they deleted everything under the Xenogears examples. Should I add them back to the page? I believe they did it accidentally, and I know it's a "Just for Fun" page, but I'm unsure of adding them again because I'm afraid that an edit war might happen.

Creator Cameo? Videogame

So, the fictional MMORPG The World in the .hack games is developed by the company CyberConnect Corporation. Would this count as a Creator Cameo because the developers of the .hack games was CyberConnect2?

Troper with severe grammar issues, unwilling to improve Videogame

jikoh has been editing several pages pertaining to Honkai Impact 3rd for months on end now, but most, if not all, of their edits are littered with horrendous grammar and pothole abuse. I have sent them several notifiers over the months in hopes of redirecting them to the "Get Help With English Here" thread, but they obviously aren't listening.

I don't care if they're not a native English speaker, nor if they contribute to a lot of entries. There is a standard to meet, and jikoh certainly doesn't meet that. It's unfair for tropers like 4tell0life4 to always clean up after their mess, and one of their latest edit reasons, "Edit it greater, please.", doesn't endear them.

Need help figuring out how to link character pages and fix page names. Videogame

I am sure this is a common question, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to redirect one particular works page to a certain character page. It is namely part of a long series and as such has one series wide character page. And the other issue have to do with how to fix the name formatting of a works page. Some works have a certain way that their titles are presented or use certain signs or symbols which cannot be used for their standard addresses.

I hope I can help with this.

Characters/SuperSmashBrosUltimate76To81 Videogame

So, this page exists, documenting the fighters of Fighter Pass 2 and the tropes associated with them...however, none of those fighters have been revealed yet — and most likely won't be for a while — leaving the page with just a description.

Should the page be cut, or at least redirected?

Complaining in Warcraft YMMV page Videogame

Following the release of Reforged, YMMV.Warcraft page is beginning to get flooded with complaints about the remastered game. Perhaps we should keep an eye out of it or worst case scenario, lock until enough time passed

Valid use of SpecialEffectsFailure? Videogame

Troper PRH added the following entry to the Warcraft YMMV page:

• Special Effect Failure: All instances where Grommash Hellscream was referred to as "Grom" were replaced with "Hellscream" in Reforged, with the word "Hellscream" simply being pasted over from other dialogue lines, and it shows.

I removed it as that does not seem to fit the meaning of the trope but they readded it anyway without an edit reason. Would this qualify as usage of the trope?

What should I do with this page? Videogame

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/VideoGame/Xenoblade

It dosen't have the Chronicles suffix like the other two Xenoblade games on here. I'm surprised someone hasn't done anything about it despite being on the site for years. What are the exact steps to creating a new page called VideoGame.Xenoblade Chronicles?

Readding of a non-character trope Videogame

I took down Ambiguous Situation entries in Characters.Kingdom Hearts Supporting Originals (and a few other non-character trope entries), but Sir Adamus readded one and without leaving an edit reason (under the Subject X folder, to be exact).

Just thought I'd bring it up here as I didn't want to risk an Edit War even if there's no issue with taking down non-character tropes from character pages itself.

Okay to remove certain examples Videogame

On WMG.Super Smash Bros Ultimate Spirit Ideas, would it be okay to delete some Wild Mass Guesses due to said ideas being confirmed as spirits in Videogame.Super Smash Bros Ultimate?

Or is this a page that should be cutlisted entirely?

We've Got a Scrappy Problem Videogame

About a month ago, I deleted all the entries for The Scrappy on Criminal Case because they were clearly meant to be hated and hated badly. Here it is for reference:

I discovered only today that three days later, user pizzasoda66 added them all back. Their reasons were, and I quote, "The description of this trope is "The fans hate this character for some reason.". Just because they're supposed to be disliked doesn't mean they're not scrappies. Why do you think they were voted as the most annoying character?"

Whether or not a character who's meant to be hated can qualify as a Scrappy anyway is a mug I don't wanna chug right now, but their description of The Scrappy as a trope is way off. It's the given explanation on the laconic page, which feels like an artifact of the past, and should be changed to add the qualifier "against the intentions of the creator". Because that being the case, again, none of these assholes are unintentionally hated.

I would go back and say this, but I'd rather not get hit with an Edit War accusation and edit banned for it. What do you guys think?

Should we keep examples from alpha stage of the game Videogame

Currently the page of Totally Accurate Battle Simulator has tropes from open alpha. This includes units that removed in more recent version. The Devs of the game said that some of the removed units won't come back. Should we keep tropes from alpha stage of the game?

Edit War in YMMV/Super Smash Bros Ultimate Videogame

A while back I noticed this from YMMV.Super Smash Bros Ultimate:

• This would later be downplayed in Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls where Simon initially displays this attitude towards Alucard, commenting on the dark powers from within him are on-par with Dracula's, only for Alucard to remind Simon that he once fought alongside Trevor Belmont, and comments on both Maria, Shanoa, and Charlotte's impressive abilities in magic.

This was a lone third level bullet "reply" to another example under Memetic Psychopath, which was what first stood out as incorrect Example Indentation. Then looking at the text itself it was all about another game's characterization of Simon and nothing to with Simon in Smash Bros. Ultimate. So I removed it citing both reasons in the Edit Reason.

Tailikku then put it back showing misunderstanding of both reasons in their Edit Reason.

I PMed them telling them the reasons the entry is incorrect, but they did not respond. So I decided to bring it up here, and checking the Page History again I noticed Tailikku was the one that added the entry in the first place, so they're also Edit Warring.

A new game Videogame

Can we mention a new game calling me love queen choice

Trivia.Arcaea Videogame

Apparently the page got nuked because the only examples were weblink-only examples. However, I wish to add examples that aren't weblinks. Is it ok to start the page again?

• Marth Debuted in "Smash Bros.": The CHUNITHM collaboration marks the first time that songs original to that game are available outside of Japan.

Dragon Quest V Complaning and Misuse of Woolseyism Videogame

Woolseyism: Almost everything has been renamed in the English localization. If you don't dig the Punny Names and the Narm Charm of the localization, this game will be a Macekre for you. Especially if you've already played the much more faithful fan translation of the original SNES game.

I dont know if the Complaining is kosher or not but this is most definitely a misuse of Woolseyism.

State of Sonic CD 2011 port? Videogame

I was having a bit of a back and forth between Dere in the P Ms because he thinks the 2011 port of Sonic CD is objectively a Porting Disaster, and deleted Polished Port section a couple of months back from its YMMV, even though it was an opinion that it was better. He was citing the amount of bugs in the game to be a Porting Disaster, but from what I’ve experienced in the Sonic community, barely anyone I’ve seen seems to have been hindered by these bugs (including my own personal experience). In fact, they seem to prefer the 2011 version for its widescreen and extra features. I’ve decided to bring this here because I just wanted opinions on what item to put it in.

Btw, how do you pothole a troper’s name?

Just Dance page Videogame

Sorry if I bug any of you people, I am new here and I haven't grasp fully everything in this website yet. I notice that some of the pages and content in Just Dance page were kind of lacking and/or outdated. I wish I could help and expand some of the parts, but I really don't know how to and I am afraid that I might crash or cause some damage while editing it.

YMMV/Tales of Graces Deletion Videogame

Dr Peace deleted a "Values Dissonnace" entry in YMMV/Tales of Graces with a harsh edit reason. I sent the standard "deleting YMMV" PM. I got a response PM back saying that entry was drivel and used a strawman to justify the reason.

The deleted entry stated that it was odd from a Western perspective that a leading researcher would decide to retire to become a housewife as soon as she got engaged to another man. The character is a minor NPC that helps the party in the main quest. I don't remember if the sidequest happened in the main story or the post story, but I do not agree with deleting the entry. The NPC works for a Russia-like country that continuously has energy problems and possible food shortages, and the people are starving and cold. The whole world was close to dying because the Big Bad was stealing all the world's energy.

How do these YMMV deletions get solved? Like I said earlier, I'd rather keep the entry but it's unclear what is considered "factually correct."
