Self-Pimping Webcomic
Very new account goliberalart
has only been making edits pertaining to the webcomic of the same name. Unsure if this is a problem, but it's certainly noticeable.
Add the Misadventures of Sonic the Hedgehog? Webcomic
Are we able to make suggestions for new works? If so, do you think add the fan webcomic, The Misadventures of Sonic the Hedgehog by Fallen Angel Cam 7? Fallen Angel Cam 7 himself said that No Context Sonic does the Sonic related stuff.

Cross Wink Links Won't Work Webcomic
I'm trying to do cross wink links for The Webcomic Muted. I'm trying to put a link under the abusive parents page, but even though I put the title in like the other entries, it doesnt like to Muted's tv tropes page. What am I missing? https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/AbusiveParents/WebComics
Girl Genius Webcomic
On the work page of Girl Genius, there was this line in the description:
"Look over the Girl Genius character sheet, or talk about the comic in our discussion forum for Girl Genius."
I removed the link to the character sheet, as it's redundant and I was told they have to be removed; however, what's the deal with the link to the forums? Is that allowed? I'm asking because Girl Genius seems to be very popoular on TV Tropes (over 3000 wicks and Image Source for 36 tropes) so I'm not understanding if that link to the forum is something that kept going past the radar for years, or it was allowed by someone.
Cyanide and Happiness moments pages are full off Zero Context Examples... Webcomic
Its literally nothing but "This" and links. This isnt kosher is it?
OOTS Shout Out Webcomic
On the ShoutOut.The Order Of The Stick page, Another Guy edited this entry:
- "That's Jack's Fault": Thor says he used to be a ginger until "that damn superhero comic book came out". The strip title is a reference to Jack Kirby, the artist that created Marvel's Thor. The title of the following strip, "The Highfather", continues the Kirby reference — "Highfather" being the leader of the New Gods that he created for DC.
to remove the last sentence, with the edit reason, "No. Odin was always called Highfather. Also, it's a pun on being stoned."
I googled, but could not find, a single reference to Odin being known as the Highfather; every combination of the terms that I tried only brought up references to the DC Comics character Highfather.
I PMed Another Guy about this, asking what reference he had for Odin being known as Highfather and he responded only that it doesn't matter because it's a part of the joke.
I've also started a discussion thread on the page about this, but I'd like more eyes on this and a consensus before adding it back.
Lil Char and the Gang editor has odd grammar Webcomic
So, there's this editor called Dimderi who made two bad edits. I'll link to them, in chronological order, and explain why they're bad.
1.
This is the only thing on the page. It's bad because of its poor grammar; and it's redundant, because we also what WMG pages are used for.
2.
This is bad because it uses poor grammar, is that "check" thing, and is the very first thing that people see when they look at the work page.
They may have made only 2 edits a week ago, on the same day, but should I delete the edits and PM Dimderi?

Final Smash Webcomic Webcomic
Article Link: Final Smash!
Troper Orange Kyle 91 apparently has "blanked" the page at the request of the comic author (saying there is proof the creator requested removal of the page which breaks "The Fic May Be Yours, But The Page Is Ours" rule).
I have reverted the blanking and PM'd the troper about the rule and this Ask the Tropers thread, but I figured I should note this occurrence here for the future.
EDIT - Oh I forgot to mention, the comic author apparently has cancelled the comic, but mirrors do exist elsewhere I believe.

Page needs moving? Webcomic
Webcomic.Dregs is being officially published with the title "Drainers", so should the page be moved?
Also, should it be moved to the Comic Book namespace, since "Drainers" will have a physical release?

Recreating a cut page Webcomic
I'd like to know if I could recreate the page for Alterity. It was deleted for Zero Context Examples, but I have created a sandbox page at https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Sandbox/Zavegonzo to demonstrate how a page for Alterity with well-written examples could look.
Smackjeeves Webcomic
I'm just carrying some news so sorry if this may be a repost (I haven't looked on the forums), but Smackjeeves recently had an overhaul that broke all old links to it from here on TV Tropes.
I just want to note two things: 1) Any old links in the various pages here will either need updating to the new links, to be replaced with links elsewhere (a lot of comic authors are leaving Smackjeeves), or to be excised entirely.
2) Let's just say the changes are really hated, so the YMMV page at Smack Jeeves may need to be watched for complaining and creator bashing.

Not sure which trope this fits... Webcomic
...and I wasn't sure where to ask it. Is this (panels 4 and 5) a weird take on Saying Sound Effects Out Loud or something else?
NOTE: The comic will give you a content warning but this one's SFW.

Add A Page Image Webcomic
I'm trying to add a page image for the webtoons webcomic Muted https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Webcomic/Muted.
I went to edit, I clicked add image, I clicked submit, then done, then save, but when I go back to the page it still hasn't loaded the picture. What am I doing wrong?
Cant Make New Tropes Page Webcomic
I've been trying to make a trope page for the WEBTOONS webcomic Muted. My account is approved now, but whenever I try to follow the instructions on how to make a new tropes page, it says its under admin lock. Why is it locked? Is there another way to make a brand new page?
Homestuck 2 Webcomic
Yo! I assume that you know that Homestuck 2 is finally out. And if you don't know that Homestuck 2 is finally out, then surprise! Homestuck 2 is finally out!
With that said, do we make a new works page for it, or place its tropes on the original Homestuck page?
Edit warring Webcomic
It seems Geodude6 doesn't like his changes being contested and reverted one back on Characters.The Order Of The Stick The Order Of The Scribble without trying to discuss it.
I would have let it slide, except with all the other very arguable changes they'd made on the OotS character pages, one of which had required a mod revert, I'd say we have a problem troper here.
Asking for a revert Webcomic
I would like to ask for a reversion of all latest changes by Geodude6 on the page Characters.The Order Of The Stick Northern Lands.
Those changes include removing an accepted denomination and replacing it with what is basically a Fan Nickname, obfuscating things seriously for whoever isn't familiar with the comic.
I could make the changes but I'm not sure to catch everything, plus I don't want to be accused of edit warring.

is this a violation of ROCEJ? Webcomic
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/article_history.php?article=Main.OvershadowedByControversy
Scifimaster 92 deleted the following entry from Overshadowed by Controversy:
- Sinfest, a webcomic initially known for its raunchy, dark comedy and its lighthearted parodies of religious tropes, garnered a much more negative reputation after the onset of the Sisterhood arc in 2011, which radically shifted the comic's focus into a story-driven one with heavy, radical feminist overtones. What made this so controversial was a combination of its misandrist attitudes towards men, the author's constant deflection of criticism as "dudebro misogyny," attempts at using female characters to speak for women despite being a middle-aged man (as well as insulting women who disagree with his views), and more recently the use of the Sisterhood as a mouthpiece for transphobia, depicting gender non-conforming individuals as liars and literal zombies. Consequently, the comic's fanbase has been hemorrhaging out over the years, the author's Patreon is seeing a steady decline in support, and Sinfest is now more well-known for its trans-exclusionary radical feminist overtones than for anything else about it.
now, some of this probably does need to be cut, the bits about misandry and the like are likely to attract MRAs. however, TV Tropes explicitly takes a pro-trans, anti-transphobia stance. i dont think it runs afoul of ROCEJ to condemn TERFs.
im trans myself, so i may be too close to this issue to view it objectively. id like some input on whether it's kosher to include or not.

Allen The Alien Webcomic
Why does the page https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Webcomic/AllenTheAlien have the name of the webcomic spelled as Alien The Alien in the heading line?
Nanite Powers? Webcomic
I am writing a new webcomic in my spare time. In the webcomic, the protagonist is a genius-level character utilizing nanites that live in his blood for various tasks. They are powered by inductive charging gauntlets on his arms. When those are out of order, the nanites rely on glucose and oxygen in his blood to create bioelectricity as backup fuel. The nanites are bound to his DNA, making it impossible for the nanites to function away from his body, so they can't be used to disassemble other people or anything crazy like that. He also has robotic eyes made of nanites.
The nanite powers I have so far are as follows:
Hyper Regeneration Heated Lasers Freezing Lasers Electrokinetic Blade Construction Flight Super Speed (But only during Flight) Melee Weapon Construction Disease Generation Smoke Bombs (6 before running out)
The eyes have separate functions. They can detect heat signatures, scan objects for weak points, display damage done to the protagonist, and display holograms.
If anyone has suggestions about powers the eyes or nanites can have, or additional limitations, please let me hear them. Thanks.
How do you add special characters to a title? Webcomic
I recently created a page for the webcomic "We Live In An MMO?!" but obviously the question mark and exclamation point aren't included in the title. Despite this I've seen plenty of other works that include them.
How would I go about adjusting this?
