- 23:5523:55, 1 March 2022 diff hist +461 Walking Spoiler →Fan Works: Just like the canonical Ace Attorney, the fancases have their share of Walking Spoilers
28 February 2022
- 00:2500:25, 28 February 2022 diff hist +1,368 Plot-Triggering Death Added a section for Interactive Fiction examples, which I previously wrote on the FANDOM wikis
- 00:0400:04, 28 February 2022 diff hist +11 Walking Spoiler →Film: Added links and italics Tag: Disambiguation links
- 00:0200:02, 28 February 2022 diff hist +1,827 Walking Spoiler Added a number of Walking Spoiler examples I previously wrote on FANDOM Tag: Disambiguation links
27 February 2022
- 23:3923:39, 27 February 2022 diff hist +413 The Taming of the Grue →Multimedia: Replaced the 'now' line with a line reflecting just when genies started being seen as more benevolent than their earlier folklore incarnation
- 23:2923:29, 27 February 2022 diff hist −5 Eric the Unready Bob Bates wrote Eric the Unready, not Steve Meretzky, though Meretzky gets a few shout-outs when the player tries strange things
- 23:2123:21, 27 February 2022 diff hist +192 Guide Dang It/Video Games/Adventure Game Corrected the Wishbringer entry. The previous editor made it sound like the can was lost for good after the troll puzzle, which is NOT the case. The real problem is that the hinted rattling noise might be dismissed as a bug when it's not. Also made the cyclops puzzle description in Zork 1 more accurate. I made these corrections previously on the FANDOM branch but realized I hadn't done so here
- 23:1223:12, 27 February 2022 diff hist +1 Anti-Christmas Song →Music: The 'God rest ye merry merchants' quote is from Tom Lehrer's 'Christmas Carol' song, not Stan Freberg's 'Green Christmas'. Easy mistake to make, though, since they're often played one after the other due to their similar satirical subject matter
- 23:0623:06, 27 February 2022 diff hist +13 Anti-Christmas Song →Music: Toned down the hyperbole in the 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas' example
24 February 2022
- 16:5116:51, 24 February 2022 diff hist −1 A Death in the Limelight →Anime and Manga: Further modified the One Piece Whole Cake Island example
- 16:3916:39, 24 February 2022 diff hist +170 A Death in the Limelight →Anime and Manga: Clarified and added information for the One Piece Whole Cake Island example
- 16:2716:27, 24 February 2022 diff hist +1,597 A Death in the Limelight Added two new examples
23 February 2022
- 22:1922:19, 23 February 2022 diff hist −15 Crushed Childhood Memories →Live-Action TV: Mitigating the Power Rangers example. I didn't write the original Power Rangers example - someone else on FANDOM did, and I think they just added another sentence to it without changing the previous sentence. Hence the line 'the investigation is still ongoing'. current
- 20:1820:18, 23 February 2022 diff hist +1,536 Non Sequitur Scene/Music Postmodern Jukebox certainly has a few really bizarre moments in their videos, and I include the two I think are definitely weird enough to fit this trope. Like every great Big Lipped Alligator Moment, they come out of nowhere, have very little to do with the overall work, and afterward people go on as if they never happened
- 20:0920:09, 23 February 2022 diff hist +2,993 N UserWiki:Chris Lang Copied and pasted, and revised, my bio from the FANDOM troping wikis

- 19:0919:09, 23 February 2022 diff hist +665 Saved by Canon Importing my 'Better Call Saul' example from FANDOM here, along with a Dark Crystal example from the same FANDOM page
- 19:0019:00, 23 February 2022 diff hist +216 Ending Memorial Service →Anime and Manga: Added an example I originally wrote on the FANDOM troping wiki current
- 18:5518:55, 23 February 2022 diff hist +188 Pep Talk Song →Film: Thumbelina has another, more straightforward example of a Pep Talk Song that shouldn't be overlooked
- 17:5217:52, 23 February 2022 diff hist +495 Hijacked by Ganon When I saw 'The Rise of Skywalker' and saw Palpatine's return, this trope came to mind, so I wrote an example for the FANDOM troping wikis. Importing that example here
- 17:3117:31, 23 February 2022 diff hist +360 Mood Whiplash/Anime and Manga The first two minutes of the first episode of Zombie Land Saga definitely fit this trope.
- 17:2417:24, 23 February 2022 diff hist +468 Killed Mid-Sentence →Live-Action TV: Adding a Chicago Fire example I originally wrote for the FANDOM troping wikis
- 17:2117:21, 23 February 2022 diff hist 0 Killed Mid-Sentence →Films - Live Action: Whoever last edited the Muppet Treasure Island entry clearly didn't get the obvious joke about 'It's all good fun till somebody loses a'. The sentence is usually finished with 'eye', which can also sound like the scream that cuts off Billy Bones' last words
- 17:0917:09, 23 February 2022 diff hist +1,964 Crushed Childhood Memories Added a Professional Wrestling section for this page Tag: Disambiguation links
- 17:0517:05, 23 February 2022 diff hist +1,925 Crushed Childhood Memories →Television: You can't have Crushed Childhood Memories without mentioning Bill Cosby in this context, clearly
- 16:5916:59, 23 February 2022 diff hist +168 Childhood Memory Demolition Team Ode to the Little Brown Shack Out Back certainly is worthy of mention here, as it's a particularly unusual example of this trope. An example I wrote previously for the FANDOM troping wikis
- 16:3416:34, 23 February 2022 diff hist +262 Sacrificial Lion →Film: No Time To Die, Daniel Craig's final James Bond film, gives another example of this trope
- 16:2816:28, 23 February 2022 diff hist −293 Opinion Myopia →New Media: The Joss Whedon example was inherited from the pre-fork TVT, and has aged like milk in light of the allegations of Joss Whedon's horrible behavior behind the scenes current
- 16:2216:22, 23 February 2022 diff hist +42 Nested Story Reveal →Video Games: It's never stated whether or not the red planet in Photopia is supposed to be Mars. current
- 16:1616:16, 23 February 2022 diff hist +198 You Kill It, You Bought It →Comic Books: Importing the Nick Fury Original Sin example I wrote for FANDOM here
- 16:1216:12, 23 February 2022 diff hist +2,563 Put on a Bus to Hell →Comic Books: Added some examples I originally posted in the FANDOM troping wikis current

- 15:4815:48, 23 February 2022 diff hist +559 Fake Shemp →Live Action TV: Added Ralph Dibney from the Arrowverse's Flash, who was subjected to this trope after his actor's Role-Ending Misdemeanor
- 15:3915:39, 23 February 2022 diff hist +108 Adaptation Dye Job →Comic Books: Added an example for Stephanie Brown contrasting her TV (Batwoman) version with her comic book counterpart

- 14:5614:56, 23 February 2022 diff hist +257 Manic Expression Okay, the game Dystopian Wars has NOTHING to do with the Manic Expression website - certainly not to the point where tropes about the game are the only things worth talking about when relating to Manic Expression. I don't know how this happened, but I'm replacing the Dystopian Wars tropes with trope examples I wrote on FANDOM that DO fit the Manic Expression web site. More details in the 'Talk' page. Full disclosure - I am an occasional contributor to the Manic Expression site

- 20:3720:37, 22 February 2022 diff hist +1,586 Truer to the Text The classic 1939 Wizard of Oz film is Truer to the Text than we previously gave it credit for. Acknowledging that with a few new edits that I originally posted on the FANDOM version
- 20:1820:18, 22 February 2022 diff hist +1,721 N Afterlife Express/Quotes Three relevant quotes for Afterlife Express
- 19:3419:34, 22 February 2022 diff hist +2,865 Afterlife Express Some new examples of ghost trains in Interactive Fiction and Radio, as well as noting how The Good Place plays with the Afterlife Express trope
- 19:1319:13, 22 February 2022 diff hist +2,736 Torch the Franchise and Run Lots of new examples, which I previously wrote on the FANDOM branch and spinoffs before importing here. Also updated the Jurassic Park and Watchmen examples. Tag: Disambiguation links
- 18:4918:49, 22 February 2022 diff hist +1,896 Bolivian Army Cliffhanger Chicago Fire's use of this trope goes back to the second season finale. Second version of this clarifies the cliffhanger resolution
- 18:3418:34, 22 February 2022 diff hist +2,416 Dork Age/Comic Books/Marvel The attempt to put the Inhumans over at the expense of the X-Men in the mid-2010s is a Dork Age that has thankfully passed

- 21:5421:54, 12 January 2020 diff hist +7 Devil in Plain Sight →Film: An overly hyperbolic statement about a subjective opinion has been toned down. While the Black Hole is not a good movie, to say it's 'horrifically bad' is a stretch given that we live in a world where Ed Wood's movies, Manos, Uwe Boll's movies, the Garbage Pail Kids movie, and Fat Slags exist. In any case, such a subjective belongs on a YMMV page and not a main trope page. The quality of the film has little or nothing to do with this trope anyway.
- 21:4421:44, 12 January 2020 diff hist +38 Devil in Plain Sight →Comic Books: Barring the occasional Reversion to Stereotype, Aunt May is no longer as oblivious as she was portrayed back in the early Spider-Man comics
