Paedo Hunt is a trope about identifying and attacking or arresting pedophiles. It is not the same as Lolicon, which is about the attraction to or sexualization of underage children. I understand that coming from TVTropes, where the very word is banned, you probably have to use the former as a bowdlerization, but we are All The Tropes, where our ability to document the full range of human expression is not limited by hypocritical false morality driven by the desire for advertising revenue. Please use Lolicon as the trope where appropriate.

Or, for gender-swapped examples, Shotacon.

We don't list examples on the Lolicon or Shotacon pages - they can be Berserk Buttons for some people (fair disclosure: including me) and we don't need the flamewars - but we do list examples of these on works pages.

I'm guessing you didn't bother to read All The Tropes:Uploading and Adding an Image to a Page as I suggested last night, because if you had, you wouldn't have uploaded this file without the licensing information that we are required by law to have. Per the Licensing section of that page, you are required to give us who owns the rights to the image, and the license under which we may use it. If you can't provide that information within the next 48 hours -- say, by noon EDT on August 12, we're going to have to delete this image to protect the wiki against legal liability.

This also counts as your first warning under our ban guidelines, section 2.3. Repeated uploads of images without license information will earn you a tempban.

Please acknowledge this warning, and please address the issue with this image.

Thank you.

The Corona-Chan image in said picture is "Corona-Chan's Coof Soup" by Glee-Chan (the DeviantArt user)

(also, the brain background in said picture is a screenshot from Nickelodeon's "The Angry Beavers" series, more specifically "Vantastic Voyage")

Technically, however, I created the picture itself (using GIMP); which licensing category does it fall under in that type of case?

(sorry; I don't seem to be allowed to include external links in comments here)

If I recall correctly, that's a "feature" of the talk software that we're using... :(

That's what copyright laws call a "derivative work" - you took an existing work and made changes to it. The original license would apply unless you want to specify something more restrictive (and the original didn't have a "share alike" clause in its license forbidding you from saying something more restrictive).

Is there a way for me to change the image's licensing category on the page itself?

There is, yes. Edit the file page, and, below the text that you added when you uploaded the file, add in the license that the image should have.

We don't expect you to know all of the templates that describe the images, or even that there are templates, so just add in a text description and a mod (probably me) will add the template that matches what you add.

In the future, if you choose a license on the "Upload file" page, the wiki software will add the appropriate template for you.

I think I've added the proper copyright information to the image in question now (check its upload page)

Two things:

1. Is the new version of my VOS page's cover image properly copyright-labeled? I made sure that it was.

2. I wasn't allowed to add things such as YMMV pages to page groups about my own works on TV Tropes; does that change here?

1. It looks good to me. Thank you for that update.

2. I created the YMMV subpage for "Fenspace", which is a shared-world project that I'm involved in -- so there's definitely no rule against starting a subpage for a page about your own works. The easy way to start a subpage here is to select "YMMV" (or whatever's appropriate) from the "Create New" button on the page menu, then fill in the holes on the subpage that loads, and save it off.

But in the future, please create new trope candidates in the Trope Workshop, a link to which can be found under "Troping Utilities" in the menu that runs along the left edge of every page in the wiki. Creating new tropes there will do several things:\

• It will set you up with a skeleton page with all necessary markup for a proper trope page.
• It puts the new trope in our equivalent of YKTTW, for refinement and expansion by the wiki community.
• It avoids annoying admins who have to manually move the page out of the main namespace into the Workshop and add all the missing markup it needs.

I have manually moved the page out of the main namespace into the Workshop and added all the missing markup it needed.

I would recommend that you read our Trope Workshop Guidelines before you create any more tropes. I will thank you for not (as far as I was able to tell) copying an existing trope word-for-word from TV Tropes; that would have been a copyright violation and grounds for a ban, as well as instant deletion of the page. Please read All The Tropes:Copyrights for info on that.

You may also want to read these pages:

• All The Tropes:New User Introduction
• All The Tropes:So You're a TV Tropes Refugee (if you came from TV Tropes)
• All The Tropes:Style Guide

And if you plan on creating any other pages, you might also want to look at any or all of the following:

• All The Tropes:Works Page Guidelines
• All The Tropes:Creator Page Guidelines
• All The Tropes:Uploading and Adding an Image to a Page

Once again, thank you for your contributions,

Oh, something else I should have mentioned:

Don't put entries for your trope candidate into pages until it's gotten out of the Workshop. Which might be a while... we don't have the userbase to push a trope from idea to final in three days, and your trope might hang around there for weeks or months. And right now we have a massive backlog from a very enthusiastic but somewhat less than literate user who has clogged the system.

What less-than-literate user? It isn't me, is it?

No, not you. When Looney Toons said "less than literate", he meant that literally.

I see what you did there, Rob. <grin>

Trying to use TVT's indentation markup here will do nothing but put arrows on the page. Use the {{quote}} template. That's a live link, you can click that to see a help page on how to use it. Or, you know, just edit a page with a quote on it and look at what other users have done.

Thanks
