I'm trying to add an in-universe reaction to the Fifty Percent Off page, like this:
FoeYayShipping [[InUniverse Directly referenced and stated]] when Gou ships two swimmers, and comments on how they supposedly hate each other, but also enjoy one another. , but it's still giving me the YMMV icon.
Am I doing something wrong, or is that supposed to happen even though I pothole In-Universe in there?

We're having a little bit of a problem on the Jack (David Hopkins) pages. Not only has there been a lot of Justifying Edits and Natter in the past few months on the YMMV and main entry pages, but we're also having editors get rather rude to say the least.

There's someone who keeps removing "Shredded Moose" from the /Horrible/Webcomics page because he claims the hero went through some sort of reformation when at best he had a Pet the Dog moment. I'm putting this here as to get some referendum instead of one person trying to remove something and inciting an edit war.

Now that Webcomic.Chugworth Academy if out of P5's hands, I would like to raise a question of whether it's a stub or not. Most of the page consists of references to deleted content, author's other (pornographic) productions and general hate, but pretty much nothing about the comic itself. Without them, all that's left of the page would be this or even less.
You can read a review by The Webcomic Authority here.
This comic provides examples of:
- Animesque: Sure does show its influences.
- Fanservice: To the point where some strips are simply drawings of girls without any words being said.
- Off-Model: Most of the time, the characters don't have noses. Only when drawn in different angles do they then have noses.

bluesaber has cutlisted Webcomic.Cats N Cameras with the reason "This is a NSFW comic that violates this site's family friendly policy with blatant sex in it." even though "blatant sex" is not in and of itself a violation of the Content Policy and it's up to the 5P to decide on anything's standing under the Content Policy, not random cutlisting.
Plus, it's not the first time they've unilaterally cutlisted stuff (and the 5P ruled it "Not Porn" in that instance) - see here.

The Order of the Stick (the name of the actual page) redirects to Order Of The Stick (which doesn't exist). Shouldn't it be the other way around? How doI fix this?

I understand this is the proper place to report vandalism?
The page Sonic Girls was blanked by a troper named animatedjames, no reason given.
Edit: I've restored the page, even though it has some issues (like several page images), but I don't want to do any more editing until a mod gives the OK.

Handle misposted Flanderization on YMMV and doesn't seem to understand that Tarquin was an Unreliable Narrator and overinflated his genre-savviness, per Word of God.

Hi there! I recently found a fairly recent Furry webcomic called "The Great Suitor", but there isn't anything about it on Tv Tropes. I wanted to ask if it's possible to create a page about it, and if someone could possibly help me doing it (i've never written a Tv Tropes page before! xD) The webcomic link is here: http://thegreatsuitor.jimdo.com/ It's still very amatorial, but I think it shows some promises.

We have an edit war on the entirety of the Make Your Move article here. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/FanFic/MakeYourMove
The character page has directly introduced morality despite it being real people, with the actual people involved having an edit war over it. The other pages are edit wars over works these people have made. This has gone on for months. Please delete the article, or at least the character page.

- Tear Jerker: Mr. Rexley's wife is killed before his eyes.
Was this only removed from the YMMV page for Anthronauts because Lord Voldemort put it there?

Can a webcomic have Getting Crap Past the Radar as an example? obviously there is no overt radar here (well, its sponsored on hiveworks so presumably does need to stay pg-13, but i digress) in this case (Paranatural) the author chooses to make the comic family-friendly, no one even swears and the main characters are 12, so it is very suprising when he throws in a reference to flipping someone off. However, is it really GCPTR? does a self-imposed radar count?

Homestuck Has the following text at the end of the description section:
"Homestuck is freely available and there's no barrier to reading it, save for its sheer length, so every single spoiler tag has been removed on every page; even visiting the character index contains spoilers."
Is this actually a policy now? Should I start going through every webcomic entry, or the entry of anything that's "free", and start removing spoiler tags? If not, why is ''Homestuck" different?

I tried to edit a page on [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/Questionablecontent], but whenever I do, someone (Westrim) deletes it because he doesn't think its in-character, when it is. Can someone do something about this?

Question about Weblinks Are Not Examples. I've been working on a cleanup of Moonstuck, which is utterly covered with links to comic pages. I know examples that are just links to comic pages need actual examples written for them, but are there any situations in which it is ok to leave the link as a supplement, or should that be avoided?

This is kind of an odd one in that I know what the trope is, and what it was called. I remember there being an opposite trope to Girl on Girl Is Hot called Guy On Guy Is Ew, talking about how since most writers are straight males, girl on girl is more common than guy on guy. Only it seems to have vanished. Was the trope deleted, am I misremembering the name, or is this a case of the Mandela Effect?
(Told to post this here)
ZeroW is a new troper with some poor grasp of spacing, text formatting and about where to put review material.
