Where's that from?
What's the page image source for Halloween Episode?
Animated Series Anime
An animated tv show that was Netflix a few years ago. It was a fantasy show that involved magic cubes. the characters journeyed around fighting off evil demon-like things. One of the characters was partly possessed by one of the demon things. He was a teenager that came from an orphanage that was run by a rock creature man. The other characters were a brother and sister that were both gingers, the possessed boy, and then another girl and boy. It was also placed in another world. Thanks.
Trivia Page for my own work
How to Create a Works Page says that you can't create or add examples to YMMV or related subpages, but I don't see anything discussing Trivia. Can I make a Trivia page for my work if I have evidence that proves it? For example, can I add What Could Have Been if my work has several author notes about what I ever considered adding to each page?
Gushing and Bashing Issue
Doctor Sleep seems to have a gushing/bashing issue, and he's linked to a "leaked video." While linking to a "leaked video" from Joker 2019 (link: YMMV.Joker 2019), he gushes about Phoenix's performance and in HateSink.Dragon Ball he's pretty emotional about Raditz and Nappa. I only looked through his edit history
because of his YMMV.Death Note edit discussed here. I haven't combed his history yet (I'm about to leave for work), but it's worth bringing to other people's attention.
He's been reported before, but for different behavior (here and here).
IDW Sonic YMMV edit Literature
I removed Ensemble Dark Horse entries on YMMV.Sonic The Hedgehog IDW for Tangle and Whisper, as they are major characters and have large roles in the comic so far and therefore cannot be E Ds, but kept an ED example for a background character that gained unexpected attention, a fan name, and fan art. The former two entries were recently added back with no edit reason.
How do I put special signs into titles? Live Action TV
So I was creating new pages/redirects, but I haven't figured out yet how to put special symbols, like parentheses, into header/titles.
This is an example of what I mean
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Series/TheFlash2014
How do I put my 2019 into parantheses like with the above link?
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Series/Batwoman2019
General example?
Would this entry from Sensible Heroes, Skimpy Villains be considered a general example?
- This is the case more often than not in the Shadowchasers series. Female heroes never wear anything more revealing than a Bare Your Midriff outfit (at least, not willingly), while most female villains lack much modesty at all. (Of course, many of them are temptresses by choice or by species, meaning their outfits are more-or-less professional attire.)
While it does list a specific work, it does not list any specific instances in said work.
Other issues with the entry include Justifying Edits, Word Cruft, and Parabombing. Edited by TheNerfGuy
Vandalism on Batman's article Print Comic
A guy called Boost keeps vandalizing Batman's page. What should we do?
Con Man 1226
Con Man 1226 seems to have a nanny bot. The last several edits that I have seen them do have been censoring swear words. I believe it's a nanny bot because the behavior seems recent.

Zero-context additions
The user 793ws - https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/el.php?findfor=793ws - regularly adds zero-context examples to various character sheets. He has done it to the character sheets for Rugrats, The Greatest Freakout Ever and Mr. Bean among others. I've tried sending him several notifiers and more personalized messages, but no response and no changes.
Zero-context examples
User Aneyh ( https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/el.php?findfor=Aneyh ) has a zero-context problem - he keeps adding examples with hardly any context despite me having tried to explain to him many times, via PM's, what context is. Some of his edits are good enough, but many of them boil down to something like "X is a good example of this trope" instead of actually explaining how X is a good example. A recent example is on the Dilbert character sheet where he adds True Blue Femininity to a character wearing a blue dress without explaining how the "femininity" part comes in.
Let the Right One in and Let Me In Film
Do the work pages for Let the Right One In and Let Me In absolutely have to be combined, or can they be separated out into two separate pages?
Multiple names/titles for the same character
Characters.Harry Potter And The Methods Of Rationality. The... slashy thing they're doing with Harry and Quirrell's folders. Kosher or not kosher?
question 2, the spoiler tags in Quirrell's folder's title, kosher or not kosher?
Rayman titles
The page for Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc includes the subtitle, but the page for Rayman 2: The Great Escape doesn't. Seems weirdly inconsistent.
Making a Fanfic Page
So here's the deal. I'm new here, and I'm trying to start from scratch create a new page for my ongoing fanfic. But I basically have on idea what I'm doing. That 20 minute lock out thing keeps getting in my way, and I'm not sure how to begin. Can anyone help me out?
Where on the page does this example go?
This example is on the Adapted Out Pokemon page:
- Pokémon: The Birth of Mewtwo was a Japanese-only Pokémon radio drama that was later adapted into a segment at the start of Pokémon: The First Movie. A large portion of it was cut out, such as everything involving Team Rocket and the backstory to Amber. Jessie's Missing Mom Miyamoto and Giovanni's mom Madame Boss were excluded from the animated version.
I moved it from "adapted from the anime" to "the main anime" because it's about how characters from the radio drama were Adapted Out of the anime. It was moved back to the other section because it's a derivative of the anime... So where should it go?
Edit war on ''Ymmv/MarvelCinematicUniverse''
On Ymmv. Marvel Cinematic Universe. The troper bodhirook is edit-warring. He added the trope Fan Hater on 8th September, it was removed on the 10th of september by Night Shade 96 as that trope is In Universe Examples Only and shouldnt be added to a ymmv page. He than readded it back without discussion and ignored why the previous person removed it in the first place on the 22nd of Septmeber. He's also been complaining there to the point several of his other entries have had to be removed or rewritten for being innacurate.
ROCEJ?
- Values Resonance: Death Note managed to strike a chord with an American audience, with Light being seen as a direct parallel to the rising number of entitled young men going on killing sprees for petty reasons.
Should this have at least a specific incident because serial killers are not a new development and it looks too general to count otherwise. Or cut?
SonicAdventureSeries... Move to VideoGame and actually cover the series?
Sonic Adventure Series... Move to Video Game and actually cover the series?
EDIT: It's been de-wicked...
Some of, if not all of, the 18 wicks to that page, seem to be referring to both games listed in that disambig, at once.
Should I / we make a VideoGame.Sonic Adventure Series for the tropes that are shared by both works, easily found through the use of the Trope Intersect tool?
If so, then I need to fix my TriumphantExample.J To L edit.

Ron the Death Eater
Does Ron the Death Eater requiring sources apply to YMMV pages as well? Most uses I've seen are general.
No Title
Just out of curiosity, what was the first trope page created? I hope this is the right place to ask this.
Change title to link Videogame
This is more of a basic HTML question, but I'm trying to make a page for Rising Storm 2: Vietnam, but whenever I link to it, it is called Rising Storm 2 Vietnam.
How do I change it so the links to it are Rising Storm 2: Vietnam?
T Hank you
Creating a creator page Western Animation
I would like to create a creator page for Olivia D’Abo (who is well known for voicing Luminara Unduli and Star Sapphire), but the quotation mark in her name makes it very difficult. Does anyone know about how to do it?
