Well this is frustrating. I created a new Fanfic Recs page for an anime. I even put a link to it on the main Fanfic Recs page, yet it says it hasn't been indexed even though it's been far longer than it usually takes. Why? Other Fanfic Recs pages say they're indexed. Why doesn't this one?

Can someone remind me about the policy when trying to dispute an entry? Mochitachan added a When She Smiles entry in Characters.Shokugeki No Soma, which is a shoehorning and I removed it saying that it is not an example. Mochitachan than re-added the entry, but it still reads as a non-example and I don't think they really understand what the trope means.

Could we have some people chime in on this discussion on the Chunky Salsa Rule here
?
Another troper and I are just going in circles on some specific examples, and non-gaming examples were unilaterally cut a while back.

Under the circumstances, I'm assuming good faith here, but in their latest edit to the character page for Highschool of the Dead Miin U undid my latest edit to the same without explanation.

On Main.Yonkoma, there's a statement as following:
When listing Yonkoma on Trope Pages, please use the following guidelines:
- If it is related to an anime in any way, put it under Anime/Manga
- If it is hosted online, put it under Webcomics
- If it is print newspaper, but not related to any anime or manga, then put it under Newspaper Comics
- If it is none of the above, put it under Comics.
Does the following affect:
- Which namespace a work goes to, and if yes,
- Which namespace would a work otherwise fall into Webcomics but may be categorized as manga as there is in fact an anime adaptation? (Specifically, I'm talking about Danna Ga Nani O Itteiru Ka Wakaranai Ken here.)

It seems like someone created a duplicate work page and several subpages for Kirby: Right Back at Ya! under the native title Hoshi No Kaabii. Would cutlisting or redirecting it be better in this case?
EDIT: The same thing seems to be going on with Ryu Ga Gotoku / Yakuza.

This is another Anime title question.
I'm planning to launch an article on the Schoolgirl Series in Winter 2014 Anime. The problem is the title, because the manga and anime insist of slightly difference work titles.
The anime insists of Koufuku Graffiti, which is the romanization of the Japanese title. On the other hand, the manga, when referring in Latin characters, never calls it that way; it is called Happy Cooking Graffiti.
In this particular case, FAQ #5 of Administrivia.How To Create A Works Page gave no help, as we don't have an officially-translated title, IMO...

Are glasses and hats synonymous with each other, or is Oresky Not An Example of The Glasses Come Off? I've removed it from the character sheet until further notice and will readd it if it is indeed an example. If Tropes Are Flexible doesn't apply here, then I don't know what else could possibly justify someone who doesn't wear glasses being an example of that trope. If Tropes Are Flexible doesn't apply here.

The Yu-Gi-Oh! anime page (and the manga page) seems to have a lot of cases of the manga being seen as superior. While there are plot holes in the anime's version I feel like we should try to be more objective.
Example: "All prime cases of the anime being made Lighter and Softer compared to the manga in order to appeal to an audience on TV."

Pretty please forgive me, but there may be a potential edit war on the WMG.Dragonball page. Don't get me wrong, it can be re-written, because the entry just sounds like the troper is complaining about a character he/she doesn't like.

I would like some help dealing with someone named Jemma in the Naruto Wall Bangers section, he or she has gone out of their way to remove any section from this, Strangled by the Red String and an entry I wrote on Derailing Love Interests because of her own bias towards Hinata, Naru Hina and/or Sasu Saku. I am not a "salty" NS shipper, I just think it's wrong of her to try to cover up others negativity even if they are valid complaints.

gethomas3 is taking it upon himself to reintegrate Anime.Dragon Ball Z to Manga.Dragon Ball, including blanking the main page.

Greetings, I am WC-83. I am a relatively new troper. I a request assistance though I am not sure if this is the place. A problem is occurring on the Sonic X character page. I was expanding the character list when for some reason one of the sections and a character were removed. The strange thing is that said character is still in the page when you go to edit the page and when you preview it, but not on the page after saving.
regards, Wikia Contributor 83

OK, I have a very serious question about a Moral Event Horizon example on the YMMV page for the Pokémon anime.
"The Trio definitely crossed it in "Round 1- Begin!" While they'd been getting more and more willing to use lethal force to get Ash out of their way for good, going so far as to try to run Ash over in front of his own mother in the preceding episode, it's usually when he has a shot at stopping them. This was... different. Long story short, their latest scheme in "All Fired Up!" is to steal the flames of Moltres, which is used in the Indigo League ceremony. Their first attempt literally backfires, as they nearly burn to death before Ash has Squirtle put them out. This time, not even James shows any gratitude, and they're back in the next episode, with a giant Grasshopper/Firefly mech to hold the flames. They nearly crush him several times until they have what they want, and Ash's and his Pokemon's efforts to stop them are in vain, as they're now able to use the flames for a powerful flamethrower attack. Even though his Pokemon are exhausted and he stands no chance against them, he blocks their path and gives a passionate speech about the flames and what they mean to all trainers and dares them to "take their best shot". Instead of sparing him for saving their lives or out of respect for the balls he's just shown and simply jumping over him with their prize in tow, they proceed to turn him into a smoking pile of his namesake, trying to send him and all his Pokemon(including the Pikachu they've worked so hard and so long to steal) to the very fate he saved them from."
Specifically, does this even count as an example? That was certainly the worst thing the Trio as a whole ever did in the anime (OOC even by Season 1 standards), but some seasons later they became the bumbling buffoons they were up until Best Wishes, and they actually have a bunch of sympathetic moments afterwards, and to my understanding, Moral Event Horizon is the point where the villain who commits an evil deed becomes irredeemably evil and unsympathetic, not simply the worst thing the villain does.
