Just a quick question, would Artix Entertainment games (i.e. AdventureQuest, DragonFable, MechQuest, AdventureQuest Worlds, WarpForce, EpicDuel, HeroSmash) be categorised under "Video Games" or "Web Original" under examples for tropes?

I'm sure this has happened elsewhere, but this is the example I found.
Todd In The Shadows
Check the Line for Brain Bleach, both for the Main entry and the source.
On the source, during editing, and on-history, it reads
-->'''Todd: [[{{Ptitlegf1u3pozudh8}} CAN'T... GET.... CLEAAAAAN!]]'''
In the main page, it comes out as:
- Todd: This! Is! Sparta!

How does one create punctuated page titles? I am looking to create a page for the Fan Webcomic ''Aki-chan's Life'' , but so far none of the relevant "how to" guides on this wiki have been useful. Is there anything that can be done, or is the punctuation of the title such that a link can not be produced on this wiki?

Juche4world is a new troper, but he seems to be a anti-capitalist troll who thinks South Korea is the US's puppet.

Ok Folks I am looking for some other tropers who know about the series Death Lands and can add to the page. As it stands right now. I have gleaned a few random examples from around the site and the rest is from my reading the first novel. Any help fleshing out the page would be nice.

Sorry to be a pain, where do I go to ask what trope something would go under? I wanted to put in how Willow flaying Warran alive is treated as bad, but for many it'd be considered good or justified.

I noticed there was a Quotes page for So Okay It's Average, and one for So Okay [Its Average, so I tried to turn the page with the unpunctuated title into a redirect. However, now the page has a link to itself in the lower right hand corner, and one cannot access the quote page that's supposed to follow. Could someone please fix this?

Moleman 9000 just put a whole bunch of recently removed YMMV tropes back on the Total Drama Island Character Sheet page, with an edit reason complaining about the rules.

For some reason the main site keep redirecting me to Google whenever I bake a new cookie (I even attempted creating another alias, to no avail.
This Troper was Ravager, but currently lacks knowage. I made four posts on the forum, maybe five, all perfectly civil and within the rules. Same for the discussion of my story I was having with Sidewinder via PM (so's we didn't clutter the critique thread).
I just want to know what happened, or if my IP (there are multiple machines connected to my switch and router, but that shouldn't matter, right?) is somehow collateral damage from banning someone else?

Is there any way to undo any edit? Because on the Whose Line Is It Anyway page, TroperKC seems to be combining Bluenose Bowdlerizer and Scunthorpe Problem, deleting whenever a-s-s appears inside a word, like H***elhoff, ***umed, and L***ie, among other 'fixes'.
Or should I just revert it manually?

Blue links: All works are in italic, everything else isn't. Is something like Askewniverse or Walky Verse or Discworld in italic?

On Meganekko, the Troper Cuchulainn has, on February 9th, removed a large chunk of examples in the Video Game folder, as well as the whole Webcomic one. He puts TV Tropes Wiki Drinking Game as a justification, but it seems related to an other thing he deleted in his edit. Moreover, on first sight, the examples deleted look legit.
Is is all right to reinstall those examples? Asking, because one of the examples I just reinstalled on February 3rd got caught in that massive delete, and I don't want it looking like an Edit War.

I've added YMMV.Marvel Vs Capcom 3 into my watchlist, but why there isn't any notification for any page edits for that page?

I have three questions about consensus, If you propose to the a change, like removing A JAFAAC picture and no troper objects of the issue
1.-How many people you need (aproving the change)?' In order to make the proposed modifications ?
2.- How many tropers must disagree in an issue for a Crowner?
3.- If a minority of tropers disagree on an issue , do we need to make a Crowner to make the changes ?

The So Bad It's Horrible fanfic page has gotten ridiculously large, so I made a page for bad authors. Can it get the flame bait banner?
