Edited by AnoBakaDesuopenWhat to create a new page, too new and bad too do so. Web Original
I want to create a page for TierZoo
, but I'm not really experienced enough to make it good, and I don't really have the time. Could I get some help with creating it?
openSo, I want to create a work page for my review series? Web Original
Hello. I'll admit is kind of selfish, but, I used to work on a series of reviews for many years, even having some sort of mascot for it, and I wish to create a work page for it on this site. However, what rules should the workpage should have, since, well, you know, is my own work and I think there should be a restriction to it, right?
openPossible ban evasion sock Web Original
I've noticed
all nearly every single edit by Lianawolfe was for Lily Peet, heavily focused on it. There's a small bit of other series, like MLPFIM, but that's about it. Is it possible they're a sock of Seminoles 8? They showed up and started editing within the same month as well.
open"GG" Hashtag mention on YMMV.Foldingideas Web Original
I found a mention of that hashtag on YMMV.Folding Ideas that was added around Thanksgiving (and was the first edit of the page). And as a precaution, I want to know if any policies changed regarding that hashtag before removing it?

Godsfall is listed as an index when it shouldn't be, and I can't find the page type editor anymore. If there's a link to a tool or a forum thread for page type changes, I'd appreciate for the report to be directed to the right place. :)
openFireball20XL page issues Web Original
The Website.Fireball 20 XL and YMMV.Fireball 20 XL have really long descriptions and ROCEJ violations, among other problems like some paragraphs being written in present-tense and others in past tense and parentheses overuse.
openHow is this a Zero Context Example? Web Original
I saw this article in the Character section for RWBY that's apparently a ZCE, but I'm not sure how it's one. For reference's sake, here it is: ** Character-wise, she has the motifs of 1939 film adaptation of the Wicked Witch of the West. Both have unusually-colored skin that define their trademark evil appearance. Both have watched over the protagonists over the course of their journey, yet little is known of their backstory and relationships with the main characters.
open I can't remember the name of this one show Web Original
I believe this is a web original though I can't really remember there was a UK comedy about these 4 to 6 kids in the UK they were about collage level and i remember two of them were playing frisbee in like a park and the one (smarter) kid threw it and hit a retarded girl and then got chased by a bunch of buff guys I do remember a video on You Tube about the US version being a lot less funnier it was on You Tube btw I can't really remember the name
openWould it be appropriate to create a page for this? Web Original
Hello, I have a question:
I've been following this video blogger for some time, and I thought of adding a page for her on TV Tropes, the thing is that she blogs Real Life stuff of her daily life and her family. As such I am not sure if it's appropriate to add trope entries for things and situations of Real Life. I've seen pages of bloggers that deal with specific topics, and do opinion pieces, but she is mostly Slice of Life and the ups-and-downs of her life, I kinda think of it like a sitcom where she and her family are the protagonists.
As such what do other editors think of this?
Edited by matruzopenA Proposition Web Original
I don't know if this is the right place to ask this; however, I want to know if there is anyone working on an entry for Peter Knetter? If there isn't, I regret to say that I wouldn't be able to work on any pages until the summer. I only ask because you have an entry on him in the Funny/YTP section, and nothing else. Edit: I think it would be better if someone else did this. Besides the fact that I am not going to be on here often until summer, I am also a noob when it comes to creating pages. Sorry to put that on anyone, but... Well, yeah.
Edited by Reynard13open"Acceptable Targets" as targets of criticism Web Original
Digibro's page lists under Acceptable Targets several shows that he has lambasted in his videos. I feel that this is an abuse of the trope; it refers to subjects that are safe to mock because the audience is assumed to agree. But Digibro knows plenty of viewers disagree and his entire purpose is to explain why he thinks they're bad. They are not "acceptable" targets, they're his targets. (Also, it's YMMV, but it's objective that he dislikes them.)
I know the treatment of semi-fictional online personas such as Digibro is a thorny issue on this wiki, but deleting these as misuse seems tome straightforward.
openFunny/Two Best Friends Play 2017 Web Original
Not sure whether it was intentional or not, but a recent edit removed a good half of the page. Can it be reverted?
openHelp Wanted: Noob trying to make a works page, Shepherds Welcome Web Original

openPage for fan videos Web Original
Suppose someone made some videos that weren't entirely original content, but came from different works that were later put together. Would it be okay to make a page for this?
open Making a custom title. Web Original
I'm making a page for the youtube show PlayStation Access, and the title is meant to read PlayStation Access. I just can't find the link to make or request custom titles.
open Voice actor info with little to support it? Web Original
On Characters.The Frollo Show Villains, Umlaut is said to be voiced by Jack E. Haegar. In CarnEvil (which Umlaut originates from), Haegar is indeed listed in the voice cast... but the credits don't tell us which actors voiced which characters.
So, whoever wrote on the Frollo Show page that Umlaut was voiced by Haegar either knows something that virtually all of Carn Evil's fanbase doesn't, or just made an assumption. What should we do?

So I remember watching a vhs about a beaver and him building a damn with his tail. It’s in colour and the damn breaks and he picks up mid with his tail to fix the dam. Other cartoons like a dog in a doghouse in the rain or being caught by a dog catcher. Very earlier 90s possibly way before. Driving me insane!
