Many tropes allow RealLife examples because they are [[JustForFun fun]] and can sometimes be useful to understand the idea behind the convention. This policy describes what is acceptable for such examples and what is considered problematic. Certain tropes have been proven to have problems with some types of real life examples while not having a problem with others. Such partial bans may involve any real person, living or not, or any real institution, organisation, political party, nation, ''etc.'', existing or historical -- in other words, real people or things.

Administrivia/RealLifeTroping is the broader policy, describing the difference between what we consider "Real Life" and what we consider a story with the potential for tropes. To summarize; {{trope}}s only exist in relation to a story with creative intent. Because real life isn't a story being told to an audience (at least not any that we know about), it cannot be said to include tropes. The Real Life folders on trope pages are not really examples of tropes; they're amusing trivia about how reality and storytelling are related.

The "Real life" media category doesn't include works ''about'' real life, like a biography or a documentary. In those cases, examples describe that work's perspective on "real life", which is usually a lot less {{ambiguous|Situation}} than what "real life" really is. Any such examples belong in their respective media category instead.

To provide a little more guidance on these trope examples:
* If a certain type of RealLife example is forbidden, don't try and hide them under some other media category. Yes, we can trope someone else's judgment regarding those subjects, but only if that judgment actually appears in something we can call a "work". Otherwise, it's just a collection of random artists' opinions. And especially don't attribute such judgment to large groups of disparate, unidentified people (''e.g.'' "this mindset is prevalent on Website/{{Reddit}} and Website/{{Tumblr}}" listed under WebOriginal).
* Be aware of your own biases when dealing with tropes like this. Some people [[OpinionMyopia can't fathom that anyone can think differently than they do]], and they also [[Administrivia/RightingGreatWrongs tend to overstate the importance of this site and what's on it]], so they end up expending a lot of time and energy trying to get the wiki to conform to ''their'' version of reality. Don't be one of those people. There's a reason why starting an Administrivia/EditWar is a bannable offence.
* If you can properly trope someone else's opinion about a RealLife person or thing that appears in a work, ''attribute it'' to that person. And even if you do, please be mindful of the Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment. This only works if we trust people to use their common sense.
* RealityTV and stuff like it is a funny scenario here. Yes, the subjects are real people, but participants are very much characters in a work, which is sufficiently edited (often [[ManipulativeEditing misleadingly]]) to be separate from their lives ''outside'' the work. These characters should only be listed as examples for things we see them do in the work, not offscreen and should be worded to focus on that.
* We have UsefulNotes articles about a lot of real life things, which are particularly subject to the Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment where these tropes are concerned. If we can't easily come up with an uncontroversial way to include the trope in the UsefulNotes page, it shouldn't be included. We can leave describing the details of whatever abhorrence the subject is a part of to Website/TheOtherWiki's "neutral point of view" and "due weight" and [[VastBureaucracy the rest of its immense policy]] on this kind of thing.

Compare Administrivia/InUniverseExamplesOnly, where examples must be within the same "verse" as the work being cited (Real Life counts as a "work" in this context), and Administrivia/NoRealLifeExamplesPlease, where real life examples are completely forbidden instead of only forbidding certain subjects. See Administrivia/KeepRealLifeExamples for tropes that have been discussed for NRLEP or SRLEO but deemed their RealLife sections not being problematic enough to remove entirely. A trope cannot be both SRLEO and [[Administrivia/DefinitionOnlyPages Definition-Only]], as D-O pages do not allow any examples, regardless of medium.
