Working Title: TV Tropes More Like TV Quotes: From YKTTW

---

Cassius335: Hang on. What exactly counts as "overdosed" here? I thought the general rule was "two or three, preferably short".

---

Radical Taoist: Seconding the idea from the YKTTW, as it would be awesome if particularly quote-heavy pages had a 'random quote inserter' function at the top (with a link to all the stored quotes for that page). Probably requires a lot more computer fu though.

---

fleb: I feel like this bit subtracts from the whole point of the page. Have we had any overzealous quote-removers yet?

Overzealous editors deleting quotes even when they don't distract from the page is, however, just as much of a problem.

Ninjacrat: I love how every single 'good style' page has an 'Or maybe not! Who knows?' warted onto the bottom of it almost instantly.

Large Blunt Object: Yes, we have one in particular. Unfortunately for pro-quote people, he's an admin.

Luc: What? No Zero Punctuation quote?

This page needs more Oscar Wilde.

Kinitawowi: Bah.

Tut, tut! Now half of the article has been pushed under the window. That's not good!

-TV Tropes Wiki, "TVTropes More Like TVQuotes"

Thanks to some wonk, the above quote is no longer actually in the article - and I can't work out where to put it back.

fleb: Oops, I didn't even notice he cut it from the main body too. I mean, there'd be no reason for him to do that when putting the article into quote form, or so I foolishly assumed.

---

fleb: @Fast Eddie: I thought this was funnier when it was a Self Demonstrating Article and an Anti Role Model. An example of why it is a terrible thing. Quotes Wiki-ing the excessive quotes eliminates that. There's probably some other joke waiting to happen with TV Tropes More Like TV Quotes (Quotes/), though...

We need to go all out on this. I'm talking like hundreds of quotes. Get to work guys.
