This probably belongs in the forum, but a question to the mods: Is the It Just Bugs Me namespace supposed to be exclusively used to discuss Fridge Logic and plot holes? I keep getting mixed signals, and the IJBM hompage is vague.

The trope Not Now, We're Too Busy Crying Over You needs an index. Comedy Tropes? Maybe whatever the index we use for resurrection tropes?

The American Civil War has itself listed as in the indexes for Useful Notes, Military and Warfare Tropes, Hollywood History, and Furry Comic. And I for the life of me cannot figure out how to remove that last one. Anyone?

How do I start my own contributor page? I can't seem to make it work. Even when I clink on the link of my own name, 411314, on a forum where I've written, such as this one, instead of taking me to a contributor page template like it does for everyone else on the forum, it takes me back to the Home Page. What am I doing wrong?

Someone replaced heavy chunks of text on Little Shop of Horrors (admittedly not very clean, well-organized, or in-place) with weasel words denying the objectivity of an objective trope. Can I revert this?

The Fatal Frame works page isn't displaying the buttons for Fetish Fuel, Tear Jerker, and High Octane Nightmare Fuel at the top. Can someone help me figure out what's going on? I added links to those subpages on the series' main page until the issue gets resolved.

I just came across this page, and with the combination of being a stub and a The Same But More of two tropes people already have enough trouble distinguishing between, it gives all the appearance of having been created with no discussion whatsoever. Just thought I'd bring attention to it so the proper action can be taken.
