openRecommending same fanfic on different pages Anime
Have a question regarding recommending fanfics. If a fanfic that you want to recommend is a crossover, can you recommend the same fanfic in each page of its respective source?

openBerserk entries from voice actor articles Anime
On certain voice actor articles like Creator.Wendee Lee and Creator.Erica Lindbeck, a troper named mrdarkcatify (their edit history is here
) removed the Anime.Berserk 2016 link with the edit reason "Let's pretended that monstrous never exist." Given that, do you guys think we should restore the link or leave it out?
openWanting to avoid an edit war. Anime
So a yesterday I edited Characters.Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny Other here
regarding Cagalli Yula Athha getting a VA change for Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom. However troper harotype removed it here
with this edit reason.
Whats strikes is that A. There is currently no SEED Freedom character page as of this ATT’s writing and B. We don’t much info on whether or not if the characters act different enough to warrant its own character page yet. So in order to avoid an edit war, I want to ask here if it’s ok to restore until further notice.
openHappy Sugar Life entry removal Anime
LarryT
has been cutting random entries related to Happy Sugar Life with no explanation from some pages, such as here
, here
and here
. One instance also had them removing another work with no explanation here
.
If I had to make a wild guess, the user is upset by the content presented in the series and thus wants it removed. Only, I'm absolutely certain that if this was a Content Policy violation, it would have been dealt with years back (the fact that the Magnificent Bastard thread verified the work is proof)
openOne Piece: Nami Anime
I'm suggesting to add Heroic Seductress to One Piece: Nami. Just letting anyone know since she's the type to seduce other men into getting her way.
openAll films in a franchise are misnamed Anime
All 26 films in the Detective Conan franchise have "Film Number X" inserted into their titles for some reason, even though this is not in any of their offical titles- for example, Detective Conan Film 01: The Time-Bombed Skyscraper instead of the offical title Detective Conan The Time Bombed Skyscraper. I didn't see an existing cleanup thread about Conan to bring this up and there's no discussions on the discussions page, so I figured I'd bring it here. Any problems with me bringing these to the Locked Pages thread to transfer the page histories to the correct titles, then moving the wicks?
openChange Vandenreich to Wandenreich for Bleach Anime
So Bleach has a character page of the Wandenreich, but it's misspelled as "Vandenreich" which was an incorrect translation before the spelling was revealed. However it was kept as Vandenreich in the official translation of the Bleach manga by Viz media for the sake of consistency as it already was using it. Which is why this wiki also continued to use it.
However in the years since, all official English language media has dropped the spelling for the correct one. The subtitles for the new anime on D+/Hulu (depending were you live) used Wandenreich right from the beginning (the dub even incorrectly pronounced it with a hard W sound at first before it was fixed in episode 3), re-releases of the manga have changed it back to the Wandenreich. The last hold out was the Bleach Brave Souls mobile game, but as of 2023, even they've dropped the V for the W, so Vandenreich is no longer used in any form of official English language Bleach media.
Basically, what I'm asking is. How do we go about changing the page to the correct spelling; Wandenreich?
Edited by ZeromusPrimeopenWhat would work better? Anime
Bambietta Basterbine from Bleach is listed as an Extreme Doormat post-zombification despite not being stoic — which is a requirement for being an Extreme Doormat — in the slightest.
The context, for those unfamiliar with Bleach, is that Bambietta Basterbine is initially portrayed as a brash, hot-tempered, sadistic Mad Bomber. After Bambietta is badly wounded in a fight with Sajin Komamura, her comrade Giselle Gewelle murders and zombifies her. Following this Bambietta is slavishly loyal towards Giselle, letting her do whatever she wants to her and apologizing even for things that aren't her fault while Giselle is extremely abusive towards her.
My question is, would Yes-Man work better for Bambietta?
openwhat chapter is this in? Anime
I'm crosswicking Threads of Fate since it launched today and I already ran into two issues while crosswicking.
The entry being added to Black Clover:
- Vanessa's Thread Magic allows her to produce the "Red Thread of Fate", which usually takes the form of a cat spun from red yarn. This cat can rewrite someone's fate simply by touching them, changing it instead to something more favorable.
The two issues:
Red String of Fate also lists Black Clover as its own example and there's a lot more influence from that myth rather than the Greek one.
From Red String of Fate:
- Vanessa Enoteca from Black Clover manifests a spell called the Red Thread of Fate, forming a red cat familiar named Rouge made of her magical threads. Instead of it being romantic love as is usual for the trope, the magic is based on familial love. Her spell only protects the Black Bulls, whom she deeply loves and acknowledges as her true family over her abusive mother the Witch Queen. Rouge's presence near the Black Bull changes fate in their favor, making them avoid attacks so long as it's nearby.
One mention of Vanessa's powers from Black Clover:
- The Heart Kingdom's Magic Stages scale has Arcane Stages, who are mages whose magic are referred to as inexplicable powers. They include Asta, who was born without magic, letting him use Anti-Magic, Secre's Sealing Magic permanently changed after using Forbidden Magic, Yami's Dark Magic that can affect the underworld, Vanessa's magic to change fate to favor her friends, and Grey's transformation magic to transmute magic into different attributes.
I'm just not sure if I should describe it as an overlap or not.
I didn't think too hard about it until now. Maybe it's the coffee because I checked stuff at least twice before launching at different hours.
Also sorry for the "Anime" listing, there's no manga medium category to click on.
Edited by INeveropenReworking the Manga/GiantRobo work page Anime
As mentioned in a previous post, the work page for Giant Robo is bloated with organized trope entries for 5 different installments such that each could be their own page. Is there a formal process through which I would have to go through before separating trope sections for each entry? Do I need mod approval first?
openRevert Edit? Anime
An editor called Eag3r-Mc B3av3r just put through a major edit on the Bleach: Soul Society Dwellers page that contains a bunch of Zero-Context Examples and a few double-troped bullet points. I've sent a DM explaining that that goes against TV Tropes' editing rules, but only time will tell if they go back in and fix things. In the meantime should we wait, or just revert back to the earlier version?
Edited by Arawn999openRewriting/splitting up a work page Anime
I would like to rewrite the Giant Robo page, as it's currently cluttered with categorized tropes for 5 installments (the original Manga, Tokusatsu show, the OVA, the 2nd manga, the 2007 anime movie) that each have enough tropes to constitute their own work pages. With this in mind, I think it would be best to split the page into separate entries (ie an anime page for the OVA, a series page for the Toku show, etc.). Is there a formal process through which I can launch a rework of an entire work page? Alternatively, do I need mod approval before launching the rework?
openMinimum requirement for voice actor pages Anime
Is there a minimum requirement for how many roles a voice actor page should have to be considered worth writing? (i.e minimum of 5 roles)

Edited by Henshin4LifeopenWhich name to go by? Anime
I'm writing some Japanese voice actress pages, and one of them is for Moeka Kishimoto. In 2021, she changed her stage name to "Moe Kahara". Because she has roles in which she went by one or the other name, which one for the page should I go by - her actual name or her current stage name?
openDepending on the Writer as a category on a character page Anime
So I took a glance at Dragon Ball - Saiyans and somebody listed Raditz under......Depending on the Writer-class Saiyan. Whut?
Aside from the fact that Raditz was only ever written by one guy, is something like that even legit to be put up?
I highly doubt it.

open Can't find the character Souther in the character list for Fist of the North Star. Anime
I'm sorry if this doesn't go here but I put his name and the anime in the search engine and it comes up with nothing. I also checked each character sheet subpage before that and couldn't find it. What gives? Isn't Souther a super important villain in the Fist Of The North Star franchise or am I mistaken? I looked through every subpage but either they changed his name (don't know any other names he goes by) or they straight up forgot to add him (a major oversight considering he's at least somewhat important). A little help?

In Characters.Chainsaw Man Devil Hunters:
- thatother1dude made two separate edits, one where they used "sick" when "sic" would've been more appropriate in the sentence "...the US government did sick the Gun Devil on Japan..."
and placing UnwantedFalseFaith above TeenageWasteland
, when U goes after T in alphabetical order.
- I fixed the spelling of "sic" and reordered the aforementioned tropes based off of alphabetical order in this edit
.
- thatother1dude then reverted my changes back to their original, incorrect forms in this edit
.
