You appear to have forgotten a link in the sentence "Watch it here, but only if you're comfortable with sexy song and dance numbers." I approved the edit, so you can just go in and add it (or remove the reference, as you see fit).

... because all it did was remove a red link to a currently-nonexistent work page. Quoting from All The Tropes:How to Write An Example: "Red links to other works are okay."
On All The Tropes, the fix for a redlink to a work is not to delete the redlink; the fix is to write a page for the work. If you remove a redlink, we'd just have to put it back when somebody writes the work page.

For two reasons:
First, "* Nightmare Fuel: TBA" is a Zero Context Example.
Second, we have a Nightmare Fuel subpage type, which is where Nightmare Fuel examples/entries go.
Please compose a proper entry instead of "to be announced" and put it on that page instead of YMMV.
Thank you.

@ShawnTehLogoBoi, Your proposed edit to Fun Size (film) has been rejected.
The page is quite clearly marked as a stub, and quite clearly says "You can help All The Tropes by expanding it." Proposing to delete a three-month-old page because nobody has yet done anything with it other than attempt to illegally copy text from TV Tropes into it is the exact opposite of expanding the page -- especially when it was your own misplaced edit that caused the stub page to be created in the first place.
MOD: You do not get to unilaterally change policy on All The Tropes. This has already been pointed out to you, here (in which a Moderator is still waiting for you to reply).
You are refusing to learn from honest mistakes, or repeatedly making the same honest mistake after it's been pointed out — which is normally grounds for a warning that you would be temporary blocked from editing All The Tropes if you repeat the action. However, you have already been temporary blocked from editing All The Tropes once in the recent past.
Thus, I am temporary blocking your account from editing All The Tropes for one month. I strongly sauggest that, if you decide you want to return to All The Tropes afther this temporary block expires, you use this time to read all of these pages:
The very important pages:
- All The Tropes:Literary Criticism
- All The Tropes:Be Creative
- All The Tropes:Troping is Fun
- All The Tropes:There is No One True Way
How we are different from other wikis:
- All The Tropes:Who we are
- All The Tropes:What we aren't
- All The Tropes:So You're a TV Tropes Refugee
- All The Tropes:Tropers for Creation (an introduction to All The Tropes for Wikipedia editors)
- All The Tropes:Wikizen Introduction (an introduction to All The Tropes for editors of wikis other than TV Tropes or Wikipedia)
Other relevant policy pages:
- All The Tropes:Content Guidelines
- All The Tropes:Content Usage Guidelines
- All The Tropes:Copyrights
- All The Tropes:Examples Need Context
- All The Tropes:External Links Guide
- All The Tropes:How to Get a Rule Changed

There is nothing on that page that is Not Safe For Work.
You are coming dangerously close to setting wiki policy without consensus of the Tropers. If there's a rule here that you think should be changed, here's how to suggest changing it. Making these unilateral changes to pages is not the way to change wiki policy.
@Labster @Looney Toons @GethN7 @Robkelk @QuestionableSanity @Derivative @SelfCloak
Oh okay.
Mainly because it looks nothing like our other top-of-page templates.
Please be patient on this one...
@Labster @Looney Toons @GethN7 @Robkelk @QuestionableSanity @Derivative @SelfCloak
I will.
@Looney Toons and I have had a quick discussion of this proposed edit. It is our opinion that you are ignoring wiki policy simply by making the template - specifically, All The Tropes:No Lewdness, No Prudishness.
We are rejecting this edit.
MOD: Please read All The Tropes:No Lewdness, No Prudishness, then post a reply here saying why you think we asked you to read that page.
@Labster @Looney Toons @GethN7 @Robkelk @QuestionableSanity @Derivative @SelfCloak
@ ShawnTehLogoBoi
Because it was two paragraphs of bare, unmarked-up text and nothing else.
Please read our Works Page Guidelines and Style Guide and resubmit the edit using the ATT Page Creator (either through that link, or as the first link under "Troping Utilities" in the menu that runs along the left edge of every wiki page).

Shoot. Sorry about that, Looney.
I have deleted portions of your new page Fun Size/YMMV because they were word-for-word copies of text from TV Tropes. In fact the entire page as you originally created it was in its entirety a copy of TVT's page, but before I checked it against TVT you had added sufficient original content that I only deleted that infringing material which remained. Similarly, I have undone the edit you have made to Hotel Mario because it turned the sentence you edited into a word-for-word copy of content at TVT.
Understand, please, that TV Tropes and All The Tropes have different Creative Commons licenses, and as a result we cannot legally use TVT content from after July 2012. Unless you were the only person to ever work on that page there and can grant us a license to its entire content, it cannot be used here. You are free to recreate the deleted material completely in your own words. Before you do, though, we would recommend that you review the following pages that you may find helpful:
Finally we strongly recommend that you read How We Do Bans Around Here. This isn't a threat -- this is the wiki policy strictly controlling how and when user bans can be applied by an Admin. We want you to be aware that unlike TVT, we do not ban users on whims or because we're cranky -- and that you know what we do ban people for, and what it takes, so you can avoid future problems.
It is, however, sadly necessary to inform you that by the guidelines on that page, you are the recipient of a formal warning. Further attempts at copyright violation will be met with a temp ban.
Please reply to this message so we know we've reached you. Thanks.

Sorry about that.
Not sorry enough, apparently -- I have rejected your most recent edit to Fun Size (film)/YMMV for once again being copyright violation -- save for six or seven words it is once again a word-for-word copy of content -- the very same content as before, in fact -- taken directly from TV Tropes. Per the warning you received two days ago, seen above, you are now temporarily blocked from editing for two weeks.
Further attempts at copyright violation will result in your permanent ban from the wiki.
On a far less severe issue, please note that the page you created, Fun Size/YMMV, has been moved for being created under the wrong parent. Fun Size is a trope, not a work. I have spent the time necessary to create a work page for the 2012 film Fun Size (film) so that it had a proper parent to live under, rather than delete it outright. (Which, given the amount of copyright issues you've given us with that single page, maybe I should have done.)

Oops. Thanks.
Sorry, Looney. I should've read the rules before editing.
Looney, after I get unblocked, I will add April Martin to the Film: Live Action - Scrappies section, because she's the worst character in Fun Size.
