1'''The troper sponsoring this TropeLaunchPad entry is updating the Original Post (OP) as appropriate ideas come into the comment section.'''

3You are not going crazy. Please do not be alarmed or snarky if you see repeats of the comment information in the OP, because there is a very good reason for this: the conversation is evolving the trope in real-time. Think of the collaborative effort as simply pre-natal [[Administrivia/TVTropesGlossary Wiki Magic]].

5This practice is used by some tropers for both aesthetic and convenience purposes; it lets new readers know the current state of the trope before combing through the comments and gives the tropers an idea of how it's going to look as a finished product. It also makes it one heck of a lot easier to launch, as everything is in place and it can just be copied and pasted into the new article in one go.

7'''Please note:''' While this covers changing ''content'' in a TropeLaunchPad entry, it's still considered somewhat bad form to change the ''title'' of a TropeLaunchPad entry before it's launched, as tropers often scan for a title of a potential trope they've been following the progress of. If you must, please put the old title on the TropeLaunchPad somewhere.

9'''Additional note:''' To keep from irritating other tropers, when using Rolling Updates, please put a tag linking to this page at the top or bottom of your OP, so that other tropers see it and know what you are doing.
