This thread is for quick questions. A "quick question" is a question which has a relatively quick, generally factual answer; a question which is not likely to inspire an extended discussion.
e.g.
Quick Question: How tall is an average ten-year-old boy?
Not a Quick Question: Why are Americans obsessed with guns?
Quick Question: Why is ALS sometimes called Lou Gehrig's Disease? Who was Lou Gehrig?
Not a Quick Question: In Alan Dean Foster's Thranx Commonwealth series, is Pip a Mary Sue?
Get the idea?

You can. As already mentioned, rules don't say so.

TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupBut Video Guidelines say:
What doesn't go: videos in languages that are not English and don't have English subtitles (if the dialogue is important to the illustration).
So what I should do?
That page only applies to videos uploaded to the wiki.
SoundCloudAs also already mentioned, uploading to the wiki and posting videos on the forum are not the same thing.
TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupThanks for clearing up my issue. I can now safely create Troper Coven for zoo-goers.
Is it alright for a Playing With page to have several Exaggerated examples that just keep escalating? Or is it against the rules? Eg. from PlayingWith.Giant Spider
- Exaggerated:
- The spider is about the size of a skyscraper.
- The spider is about the size of a planet.
- The spider is about the size of a universe.
- The spider is about the size of a multiverse.
- The spider is about the size of an omniverse.
- The spider is about the size of reality itself.

fun fact: pro tip: breaking news: life hack: i can't find a good signatureI think all those examples are saying the same thing. It’s not like the justified examples where there are multiple ways to do it. It’s fine to cut all except the first.
Everybody loves the me! I’m a great athlete!Can you guys can help me fix grammar error on the WMG page of Marooned in Madagascar?
The theory that focuses on Savio. I spoilered his name and wanted the rest of column not being in spoiler tag, but something get broken.
Both WMG: and spoiler: are text modificators, they don't mix together. Furthermore, WMG/ pages are Spoilers Off because an unaware reader isn't supposed to read these. None if it has anything to do with grammar.

TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupBut Savio appearance in fanfic is massive spoiler, so I don't want to spoil his appearance to those who didn't read story where he appeared. What I should do?
Either add
!Administrivia/SpoilersOff applies to WildMassGuessing pages. As such beware of spoilers!
or just do nothing.
TroperWall / WikiMagic Cleanup
Thanks for the advice, I will now add warning against spoilers on WMG page of Marooned In Madagascar.
Where we can ask about changing images on This Very Wiki? Because I want the Malayan tapir entry in character sheets for Planet Zoo changed, since it shows older design for the animal, before update 1.16 gived tapir more accurate design.
At the bottom of Image Pickin forum there's a button "Start a New Thread". But the limit is 60, so you can only vote in other threads to make them go faster and just wait for a better time.
TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupSo, which thread should I choose then?

Again, to replace an image you need to create a new discussion thread. Since the forum is in full capacity, for now you have nothing to do but to lurk around.
TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupTo follow up that, you could pass the time on Image Pickin' by contributing (voting or ) for images.
Everybody loves the me! I’m a great athlete!Regarding changing tapir's image, I tried to write thread there but they closed it.
Can birds stop in one place while flying, just like in animations (in the sense that they continue to flap their wings but float in one place)?
they can float in the air currents but flying uses energy
New theme music also a boxAre they any ungulates (and to lesser extent other herbivores like elephants and kangaroos) that are monogamous (aka. the only have one wife (read mate) and not live in harems)?
What is the longest TRS thread ever?
Do you guys know what Florrie's (Alex's mom) line in this chapter of All in One Watching their movies and reactions meant? Was this a reference to her voice actress? I have been looking for comments that could had contained some Word of God, but I didn't yet finded anything. Can you help me?
My question was about if I can post videos in foreign languages in this format, since the rules say that I apparently can't do it. So what I should do?
