Kaizoku Sentai Power Rangers Kingkaiger (FanFic) is not thriving Webcomic

I have been trying to get this TV Tropes page to my fanfic up and going but I need some sleep as I have been up all night writing

This hyperlink will take you to the Fanfic Page. It may not be a head start since this is my first works page but we have to make it thrive.

Things that haven't happened yet or didn't actually happen Film

ryanasaurus0077 has made these edits on Star Wars pages:

The Rise of Skywalker:

• Killed Offscreen: Ahsoka Tano is heard as one of the voices speaking to Rey when the spirits of all the Jedi manifest in her to help defeat Palpatine, suggesting that she may have perished sometime between Season 2 of The Mandalorian and this film since all the other voices are of the deceased.

(their edit in the spoiler text; it was made to a previous example — I deleted the whole thing for Speculative Troping)

Return of the Jedi:

• Asshole Victim: The luckless gamorrean mook who was standing too close to Luke and fell in the rancor pit with him, as well as Boba Fett and the various mooks who fell into the sarlaac. Only Fett lives to see the light of another day.
• Precision F-Strike: The strongest profanity ever heard in canon is uttered by a random Rebel just before the Executor crashes into the Death Star.
  Rebel: Die, dickheads!

Should the Final Fantasy Awesome Music page be split? Videogame

The title explains the question. Basically, Final Fantasy covers fifteen main games and a ridiculous number of spinoffs in a franchise which is world-famous for its spectacular soundtracks. Not only that, but one of them, Final Fantasy XIV, is a past Guinness world record holder for the most original pieces of music in a single video game and has kept adding more since. So, should we split the page, and if so, how?

Inconsistent namespacing with Standard Snippet subpages Music

Is there a reason why some of the Standard Snippet subpages are under Music/ (eg. Ride of the Valkyries) and list examples as Standard Snippet (eg. "Standard Snippet: Ride of the Valkyries plays as Alice rides into battle"), while some are under Main/ (eg. Amazing Freaking Grace) and list examples as themselves (eg. "Amazing Freaking Grace: This plays at Alice's funeral")?

Do expansions count as works? Videogame

I was looking over the Vampire Fiction section and I noticed that The Sims is absent. However, only the second and subsequent games would count and only after certain expansions are added. Do the expansions still count for the section?

Help me think of this show

All I can remember is a group of people standing around a white freezer in the middle of the garage, with a dead body in it. It was kinda a comedy but also a drama show? I thought it was Weeds, same feel. It’s an old show, early 2000s. I think one of them said “what am I supposed to do with this?!” or something like that.

I will be forever grateful to anyone who can help me 😂😩

Is YMMV allowed for non-work pages?

I've noticed that, alongside work pages, a few Useful Notes pages, like Fighting Game Community, and a trope page, Glam Rock, have gained YMMV subpages, as seen here and here. The existance of the Fighting Game Community YMMV page was bought up on the Overshadowed By Controversy cleanup thread. Are these pages allowed?

Ask the Tropes pages, should they be cut?

I googled ask the tropers and Found Ask The Tropers and Ask The Tropers

Neither of these can be found on any article on the wiki. Are they there for a reason, or should they be cut? If they are there for a reason, should links to them be put somewhere on the wiki?

Troper with bad grammar

Minorica makes grammar errors habitually, forgetting to use the word "the" and making other errors as well. I sent a notifier about using the Help With English thread, which went promptly ignored.

Here is an example of what I mean.

Right and Wrong uses of spoiler tag for Wham Lines

Is there anything that talks about the right and wrong ways to use the spoiler tag, particularly regarding the Wham Line trope? (i.e. If It Was His Sled is in effect, then don't spoiler tag the line).

Right Way Example (from My Little Pony: The Movie (2017)):

Twilight Sparkle: I'm the one Tempest wants! I'm the last princess!

Pinkie Pie: You're also the only one who doesn't trust her friends!

Twilight Sparkle: Well, maybe I would have been better off without FRIENDS LIKE YOU!

Wrong Way Example (from The Empire Strikes Back):

Darth Vader: Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father.

Luke Skywalker: He told me enough! He told me you killed him!

Darth Vader: No, I am your father.

Rudeness and EditWar on YMMV.ResidentEvilRemake

I'd like to direct attention to these series of edits made on YMMV.Resident Evil 2 Remake by Tropers.Big Boss Balrog. Just...look at them.

Needless to say, they're extremely flammatory and personally attacking another troper, who readded the entry same entry a few days ago after bigbossbalrog removed it before, under the reason of "vandalism".

I personally have no idea who is "correct" regarding the entry or who isn't, but the behavior in question is what I'm here to report.

Odd Headscratchers

While looking at namespacing issues, I found Headscratchers.Death Notes In Other Fiction. I'm not sure this is a valid use of the namespace, as it doesn't seem to be about Fridge Logic about the work's content. Admittedly, I know nothing about this series, but this might be a relic from when Headscratchers was called "It Just Bugs Me."

Headscratcher questions. Watsonian replies only?

Back when I first started editing tvtropes, I have a memory that someone told me that Headscratcher questions were intended to be answered only from a Watsonian perspective because one can always say the writer or the animator or the director made a mistake as the answer to any question posed.

I agree that part of the fun of the Headscratcher section is to try and come up with plausible in-universe answers to the questions. However in reviewing the Administrivia here on tvtropes, I haven't seen anything that spells out the exact rules and/or restrictions for answering a headscratcher question.

So is it truly for Watsonian replies only? Or is it anything goes and you just accept that the Doylist answers will tend to be less satisfying because there are always mistakes in any creative work and saying "the writer screwed up" doesn't really help much?

Useful Notes of Anastasia, and trope Did Anastasia Survive

I am thinking to create an actual Useful Notes page with the daughter of Tsar Nicholas II, Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova. The one that once got into a case of resurfacing from the dead, only to be rebuked that it's just an impostor.

There's quite a bit of info that might not match with the more normal perception of her. For instance, she's not some sort of Disney Princess who is Too Good for This Sinful Earth (Yes, she may be innocent in the whole thing), but there's also the fact that she's known as some sort of prankster.

The one thing I would ask is this: If I make a Useful Notes page for her, would it end up overlapping with the trope Did Anastasia Survive?? Was wondering on that first before I start typing.

Thanks for the input guys.

YMMV.Catherine UnfortunateImplications edit war Videogame

Hey, troper metaverse keeps deleting an Unfortunate Implications entry on the YMMV.Catherine page about some fans being unhappy with Unsettling Gender Reveal jokes (the scene in question involves a transwoman appearing before coming out in an Alternate Timeline so they can make a joke about another character she is attracted to being unaware she is a transwoman or attracted to him, basically), despite 3 sources to said reactions being provided (per the guidelines), with a Strawman Fallacy edit reason that these are "misunderstandings" about a Transgender character no longer wanting to transition, rather than about the actual content of the entry. Entry:

• Unfortunate Implications: In one of the new endings for Full Body, Catherine goes back in time so she can place herself in Vincent's high school and the two end up dating. An unclear number of years later, at Vincent and Catherine's wedding, Erica is then seen pre-transition with Toby, who previously only became friends with the rest of the cast after Erica's transition, in order to make another joke about Erica's attraction to Toby. Outside potentially inadvertently removing Erica's identity and agency, this was mainly seen as Atlus doubling down on problematic Unsettling Gender Reveal jokes in the story by a number of fans, especially in the trans community in both the West and Japan. It even got to the point where several people refused to buy the game or support Atlus in the future. The English voice actress for Erica, Erin Fitzgerald, explained shortly afterwards that the localization team would try to adjust the ending for the Western release. (Sources: Kotaku, Daily Dot, Dualshockers)

I'm not really sure what to do at this point because the edit reasons for removing don't seem to have anything to do with the actual entry? Honestly, if the entry should go for the sake of Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment, I understand, but feel like their strawman Misblamed and Overshadowed by Controversy should go too then.

Redpotholed images

Do we have some sort of list for images that pothole to pages that don’t exist?

Tropes not thriving

Where can I bring tropes that aren’t thriving but aren’t exactly in need of TRS to? (The trope in question being Billboard Epic.)

Useful note

Should IBTL be a useful note?

Show within a Show

Just to be sure, does the Show within a Show only work for tv shows, or can movies also be added to that category?

No Title Live Action TV

Ive asked YKTS but cant seem to get an answer, so I thought why not ask here. Ive been searching endlessly for this show and cant find it. Please help.

Its a show made in the early to mid 2010's where a son is searching for his father, who happens to be an astronaut, through the use of comic books.

More YMMV/StevenUniverseFuture issues.

YMMV.Steven Universe Future:

• Unintentionally Unsympathetic: Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst, even with the fact that Steven is growing up, continue to treat him like they did at the start of Steven Universe. At several different points, they are seen glossing over his emotions, such as during "Together Forever" when Garnet doesn't give Steven help when he asks (and claims that "there was no future where he didn't propose despite Ruby and Sapphire directly egging Steven on to propose to Connie), and Amethyst glossing over Steven's concerns in "Guidance" when he pointed out they were treating the newly-immigrated gems like they did on Homeworld (though she turned out to be mostly right, Both Sides Have a Point). And "Snow Day", when they repeatedly ignored the many signs that Steven did not want to play with them, as well as the fact that they never directly apologized to Steven while he was himself onscreen (like he did to Cactus Steven in "Prickly Pair") in "I Am My Monster" or "The Future" over their Parental Neglect or how he was their Living Emotional Crutch, instead just acknowledging it while he was in his Kaiju form. Or acting "tough" in "The Future", without considering how acting like they didn't care their child was leaving may have affected Steven emotionally. Steven may have not brought it up most of the time, but is it any wonder he's angry with them?

1. It fails to explain why they were supposed to be sympathetic despite the circumstances. 2. It outright states they realized they were in the wrong in "I Am My Monster", the point of the series was showing how they treated Steven hurt him. The "never directly apologized to Steven while he was himself onscreen" seems too minor and nitpicky to count when at least 90% of this was intentional. This is the second case of UU issue on the page.

I also asked UU cleanup but this seem an easy fix and bigger issue so I'm asking here as well.

Plant Person clarification

For the trope Plant Person, does the character in question actually have to have some kind of special relationship to nature in order to count? Or can they just be a character who’s grown from a seed in the ground like a plant, without any broader connection to nature? Am I thinking of a different trope?

Not sure I have indexed correctly Film

Hi tropers, I made a trope page for a Star Wars fanfic "Landscape with A Blur of Conquerors", and made an entry for it on the Fanfic Recommendations index page. The link I put on the index page takes me to the fanfic's trope page just fine. However, it still says down the bottom that it has not been indexed. What do I need to do to fix this?

Stray cut tropes

Sometimes, using the “Random Trope” button will bring me to a trope that’s been cut. How can this be fixed?

Troper is uncommenting zero-context examples

Henry Wong 122 has been uncommenting ZCEs without fixing them on a few pages. I first noticed it on Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs because they deleted all of the comment markup on the page, including the IP notice on the page image. But they've also removed the comment tags from several Digimon character pages.
