@/SgtFrog1: I just clicked on it. It's pretty much the ultimate in NoJustNo.

Added DiffLines:

----
@/{{Aver}}: A made of win to @/{{billybobfred}} for including this line in JustForFun/TropeNameInjokes: 'An [[VideoGame/{{Eversion}} everted]] example. What that means is anyone's guess, since we don't actually have everted tropes.'

@/{{SonicLover}}: My guess is it means either DarkerAndEdgier or LighterAndSofter, or perhaps some union of the two.
----
@/HouraiRabbit: One for all contributors to the Heartwarming page for Heartwarming/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic. When I've been sick for a few days or when I felt like quitting at pursuing my dreams cause the road ahead was hard, it really cheered me up to look back on all that stuff. [[spoiler:I love you guys]]
----
WWRU: One for the page picture on WantsAPrizeForBasicDecency. Especially if it was custom-iced for the trope page.
----
@/{{Frank 75}}: This comment on DyingClue: "[[ItMakesSenseInContext So he wasn't murdered by a PlayStation?]]"
----
@/{{Oreochan}}: I want to give a big MOW to everyone who helped out in the [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13402042240A79220100&page=1 It Got Worse/From Bad To Worse cleanup thread ]]. In one week 4700+ wicks were gone. It was the first clean up thread I participated in that had even brand new accounts pitching in.
----
@/{{Earnest}}: One crystalline MOW to @/DoomTay for replacing the blurry pic on BodyToJewel with a much sharper one.
----
@/SweetMadness: To whoever wrote the entry for BlackAdam on the HeelFaceRevolvingDoor page. It's one of the best summaries of the character's history I've read, and particularly hilarious to boot, especially when it gets to mentioning the events of 52. Here's the relevant part:
-->This Trope could also be named The Black Adam. He started out as a champion of his people in ancient times named Mighty Adam (that's good) then became a brutal dictator and conqueror when his family was killed by a supervillain (that's bad) then millennia later attempted to reform and even joined the Justice Society of America (that's good) then became a not-so-brutal dictator of his country again (NOT the bad part) and later joined a Society of Villains to ensure their safety (that's bad). After said Society betrayed him, he later fought against them when they tried to take over Metropolis (that's good) then went back to being a harsh dictator with plans to form a new Axis Powers coalition (that's bad). When he gained a new family he tried to go back to his old heroic ways and traveled the world fighting evil alongside them (that's good). When this family was killed by supervillains he went on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge, murdered an entire country, and fought every superhero on Earth (that's bad, but awesome).
----
@/DougSMachina: @/NanoMoose's edit reason on TrollingCreator might be a little harsh, but it amused me:
--> "Your bitterness as like unto that of a small child who didn't recieve the toy they saw on TV is showing, friend."
----
@/{{Ingonyama}}: One to Tropers/BlobbyFissure on the ''Titanic'' Headscratchers page for providing the most deadpan and beautifully CaptainObvious explanation for why it was okay for Rose and Jack to have had sex without protection (but not end up with a baby): "One might further suggest that being doused with freezing North Atlantic water may not be conducive to conception."
----
@/{{SonicLover}}: [[TimeTravelTenseTrouble Say what now?]]

@/HydroGlobus: Lucky I was'll be the first to do it then.

@/{{thatother1dude}}: Indeed, it is.

@/HydroGlobus: Whoever ordered the folders in MerlinSickness gets one. Might be a repeat award though.

@/IlGreven: BackToFront is ordered similarly, plus even the phrases are back to front.
----
@/{{Specialist290}}: Whoever put up the page image on FakeInteractivity is a devious and magnificent bastard. Kudos to you.

@/IlGreven: Unfortunately, someone will have to change it now...
----
Tropers/{{Reflextion}}: One for Tropers/{{Mnemonik2}}, for his pun-tastic addition to the top of Heartwarming.TheElderScrollsVSkyrim:
-->If you look hard enough, Skyrim contains enough goodness and warmth to make even the most stony-hearted adventurer go [[MemeticMutation FUS RO]] [[CutenessProximity D'AWWW!]]
----
Tropers/{{Bronzethumb}}: One for Tropers/{{Alpsman}}, for the Laconic.AuthorFilibuster.
----
Tropers/GGCrono: One to Tropers/VutherA for sprucing up the LeagueOfLegends character page with character quotes under their portraits. Good on you, dude!
----
Tropers/{{Koveras}}: One MOW to the contributor(s) to UsefulNotes.EuropeanSwordsmanship. While incomplete, it is already very illuminating.
----
Sinesofinsanity: Couldn't stop giggling at the troper named Tropers/AmeliaPond who voted for DavidTennant on the SugarWiki/MostTriumphantExample of MemeticSexGod. Win
----
Tropers/{{Nightsky}}: To Tropers/{{Solle}}, for doing yeomanlike work over on the Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho recaps page.
----
Tropers/DRoy: A MOW for whoever provided page images for Film/TheDarkKnightSaga and to a lesser degree, LightNovel/FateZero. They are absolutely ''fantastic.''
----
Tropers/YamiVizzini: TheStinger for RanmaOneHalf hits home perfectly:
->''"Oh-No, Honored Customer, you fall in spring of Drowned Troper, is too, too, tragic tale of [[TvTropesWillRuinYourLife person too busy editing articles to look where going]], now you turn into person unable to turn off computer..."''
----
@/{{redeadlink}}: To the random button for taking me through RebuildofEvangelion, Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion, NobodyDies, and ShinjiAndWarhammer40000 one after the other.
----
@/LordOfTheInternet: Whoever came up with the [[TheLegendOfKorra Legend of Korra]] [[Radar/TheLegendOfKorra Radar]] page.
---> '''R.I.P The Radar. Died : 6/23/2012. In loving Memory''' - TV Tropes.

@/{{Telcontar}}: 'Twas @/EnjoyDaMoment.
----
@/FinalStarman: I'm a little late with this one, but one to @/{{bwburke94}} for making PlayingWith.{{Yourself}} a redirect to PlayingWith.ADateWithRosiePalms.

@/MrDeath: I think someone's already given one for that.

@/FinalStarman: Oh yeah, you're right. It's in the early 2011 archive. [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/article_history.php?article=PlayingWith.Yourself&more=t The redirect edit was this year though]], so I think it still counts.
----
@/{{thatother1dude}}: I literally spit a bit from laughing at this line from the ''Film/{{District 9}}'' page:
-->"The Nigerian gang believes that eating prawn body parts will grant them power over the alien's DNA-activated technology. They eat the limbs raw. They don't even afford the prawns the dignity of paella."
----
@/{{Vifetoile}}: One to Krisnack, for describing the planet Venus as a ButterFace. It's possibly the only non-contentious or mean entry that could exist in the RealLife section, to boot.
----
@/{{T-Jack}}: One to whomever came up with the current Naughty Tentacles page. Simple, efficient in getting the point across and funny as hell.

@/SonicLover: ...It's a redlink.

@/{{Telcontar}}: Click on the link anyway. It takes you to a blank white background with text saying "We do not want a page on this topic."

@/SgtFrog1: I just clicked on it. It's pretty much the ultimate in NoJustNo.
----
@/ProgenyExMachina: One for whoever added this to Jinora's entry on the Characters.TheLegendOfKorra page:
-->ThinksLikeARomanceNovel: Though the romance in question seems to be more along the lines of ''Literature/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms''.
----
@/{{whereismytea}}: One for whoever is responsible for this over on the {{Irony}} page.
-->I'm sure we can all agree that a ferrous wheel is ironic.
----
@/{{Encrypted12345}}: A win for Tropers/{{Arha}} for being a bro in the forums and for creating pages I'm too lazy to make myself.
----
@/ChrisX: A Win for the one who adds the footer in the TearJerker page of ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica''. God, made me crack and feels like wanting to say, "Shut up, Kyubey, you'll just make things worse."
----
@/{{Treblain}}: Just came across SelectiveMagnetism, and I award it a MadeOfWin for the ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleGames'' entry that speculates that the magnetic gloves operate using magnetic monopoles. Fantasy physics FTW.
----
@/{{Telcontar}}: Looking through recent changes to discussion pages can be interesting. [[http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg138/scaled.php?server=138&filename=picture7ud.png&res=landing Here's one gem I found]] -- ''{{Pointless}}'' is a series, but that phrase [[JokingMode sums up most discussion pages]]!

@/SonicLover: "Created today." Maybe it was created just for that joke?

@/{{Telcontar}}: Doesn't seem so -- [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/remarks.php?trope=Main.Pointless it's a legit page]].
----
@/{{Ingonyama}}: Two. One for whoever wrote the hilarious caption for the image on the ShapeShifting page--"Not depicted: Refried Bean Gas Cloud" (with Refried Bean potholed to DeadlyGas). Two for the troper who noted on the ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk'' page that the Ark was a literal DeusExMachina.

@/{{Earnest}}: Thanks, I'm not ashamed to admit dealing out the refried beans. =D Funnily enough, the quote is actually accurate. Alucard has a third shapeshifting form that can be upgraded from regular mist to ''poison'' mist. Plus, it wouldn't surprise me if it dealt more damage after eating a red bean bun (which is ''also'' actually in the game).
----
@/{{Medinoc}}: One to @/HopeFox for his "[[ButThouMust when]]" in the ''Oblivion'' example of PrankDate.
----
@/DougSMachina: Kudos to @/{{movie007}}, who name I keep seeing on Edit Reasons, page histories and Recent Edits and is clearly a namespace-changing ''machine''.
----
@/LancelotG: Whoever noted on the HypercompetentSidekick page that the ''DuckDodgers'' incarnation of DaffyDuck "doesn't so much hold the IdiotBall as have it surgically implanted in place of his actual brain."
----
@/{{Reflextion}}: One for @/{{Deboss}}, for his apt use of a [[ExampleSectionectomy particular image]] in [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/article_history.php?article=Main.AndThereWasMuchRejoicing his edit reason]] for cutting the RealLife section of AndThereWasMuchRejoicing.
* You can do that!?
----
@/ZarbiNerada: One for the caption on the Characters/FriendshipIsMagicBackgroundPonies Characters page Flower Trio image:
* That scroll bar is horrifying!

@/{{Quanyails}}: I chuckled, and I'm not even into that franchise!
----
@/{{Robster2001}}: For posterity, the April Fools' 2012 prank. Kudos to all involved in creating all of the homepages, and to Eddie for setting up the random rotation.
----
@/{{Medinoc}}: One to @/TehFireShark for his pothole "[[Film/TheMatrix Me too.]]" in Comicbook/{{Doom}}.

@/SonicLover: Quick context update: the bullet point where it is is OpenSaysMe.
----
@/WillyFourEyes: Point to the silly bastard who managed to fit in a Wizard of Oz reference under PantheraAwesome:
-->[[AC:Lions]]
-->[[AC:Tigers]]
-->[[AC:Bears (Oh my!)]]

@/SonicLover: I don't know. I think anybody would have done that given that setup.
----
Myra: Half a Win each to @/AmaXdear and @/{{luigifan}} for this neat demonstration of the various Yay-tropes (on Heartwarming.HarryPotter):
* The line "Lupin, who appeared dazed by his own happiness." It doesn't matter if you ship [[OfficialCouple Lupin/Tonks]], [[HoYay Lupin/Sirius]], [[FoeYay Lupin/Snape]], [[NoYay Lupin/Hermione]], or [[CrackPairing Lupin/Whomping Willow]] -- you teared up at that line.
----
@/{{kirbymaster7491}}: To @/KayvanShrike and whoever originally wrote the PatrickStewartSpeech in the Real Life section of YouAreNotAlone. You made me cry in a good way. I don't even care if it's been nominated before. I'll nominate it again.
----
@/{{Medinoc}}: Speaking of illustrations, one point to @/RandomChaos for the picture in TwinThreesomeFantasy.
----
@/LooneyToons: Gotta love the illustration and caption for EmptyRoomPsych. Props to @/WanderingTedium and @/{{Stratadrake}} (at least for the current version).
----
@/{{Earnest}}: The stinger at the bottom of [[PlayingWith/ActionSurvivor Playing With/ Action Survivor]] made my day:
-->We need someone to get back to ActionSurvivor - you're not the ideal person for the job, but you're the ClosestThingWeGot!
----
@/{{Schrau}}: I feel that the image caption for NoseArt is a reference of some sort, but its inclusion is still worthy of a [=MoW=] for @/{{Willbyr}}.
----
@/{{g3m1n1}}: @/SgtHydra for adding this under SmallGirlBigGun in Music/BlackRockShooter. You, sir/madam, [[FunnyMoment made my day.]]
*** Guns for the Gun God! Lolis for the Loli Throne!
----
@/{{Carbonek13}}: One for @/{{Darkspectar}} for his edit of the SeanConnery [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/YMMV/SeanConnery YMMV page]]:

-->Nothing. Everything about Sean Connery is definitive.
----
@/{{Madrugada}}: [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/remarks.php?trope=Main.TropeNameInjokes The discussion page]] for TropeNameInjokes. I never looked at it before. It's simply wonderful.
----
@/OldManHoOh: To use of the hottip that's actually used well in MainstreamObscurity:

* [[{{Pokemon}} Pokémon]]. There are as-yet undiscovered native tribes that would recognise Pikachu, [[hottip:*:perhaps from aeroplanes with Pokémon livery flying over,]] and Pokémon references are endemic in pop culture.
----
@/FalconPain: To @/{{Narsil}}, for successfully making the phrase "YourMom is OlderThanDirt" a ''valid'' edit reason on both trope pages and OlderThanSteam.

@/{{Dryunya}}: This is Win on so many levels...

@/SonicLover: For the record, the edit was adding this example:
-->A "Your Mother" joke was found on a [[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2092775/Tablet-crude-jokes-riddles-beer--dating-time-biblical-Exodus.html cuneiform tablet from ca. 1,500 BC.]]
----
@/{{Grandy}}: To whoever contributed for the following conversation in the [[Headscratchers/DeadRising2 headscratchers page for Dead Rising 2]]:
* Okay, the "security footage" that supposedly proves Chuck was behind it is a low-quality video of someone in his full-coverage game suit, including helmet, seen only from behind. It could be three penguins standing on each other's shoulders for all we can tell. Yet everyone seems to take it as proof positive. Yes, she did mention a reliable source claimed it was him... but seriously, a video like that, and seemingly no-one even ''considered'' it could be someone else in the video?
** Are you suggesting the ThePenguinsOfMadagascar are behind this nefarity?
