Some tropers have something [[Administrivia/PleaseNoNatter to add here]].

Natter doesn't always have to be in extra paragraphs. See {{Parabombing}} for another form it takes.

A strong sign that you're indulging in Natter would be if your edits contain Administrivia/WordCruft ("actually", "what really happened was"), or any Admnistrivia/FirstPersonWriting. Another sign is that you're adding a [[Administrivia/ExampleIndentationInTropeLists third-level (or deeper) bullet]] to an existing example. See also Administrivia/SignalToNoiseTrainWreck.

Wait a minute. If there's a change to be made, [[Administrivia/RepairDontRespond you should be making a change]]. And if there's discussion to be done... shouldn't that go on the discussion page? This is especially bad to do in a "This X has examples of:" list, as it ruins the readability of the list. If not kept in check, this can lead to [[ThreadMode entries becoming more like forum threads]]. And if that's the case, shouldn't you Administrivia/TakeItToTheForums instead?

This kind of thing is also informally referred to as "natter". Mind you, this is okay in supplements that are made for it, like {{Headscratchers}} pages. It's just not okay in our actual articles. See Administrivia/AboutRhetoricalQuestions for info on one of the causes of conversation in the main page. Another frequent cause is the use of YMMV items -- this is one of the big reasons why we keep them separated on the [[YMMV/HomePage YMMV pages]].

If you come across natter, either move it to the discussion page or just delete it. Ask for help [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=zybsujciv8eflkwsxjrf908h here]] if you don't feel like doing this. Your help cleaning up the mess will be appreciated. Also, there's a function in the page history entries which lets you send a message [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/natter_notify.php?t=Troper&a=Namespace.PageTitle&d=date%20at%20time based on this one]] to the offending troper; in this case, "natter" is the message to use.

->''On the Internet, you can identify a geek in the throes of an accuracy attack by his signature cry of, 'Um, actually?'. The 'Um' is usually added (and yes, written in) in a feeble attempt to not make it appear that the geek is being condescending, when 99% of the time that is exactly what he's doing. Another phrase you're likely to hear is, 'you forgot', the point of which is the unstated, 'but I didn't!'''
