Stock Phrases that occur in wiki discussions.
Some of them have meanings exclusive to the TV Tropes wiki (see also the TV Tropes Glossary), and are for use only in Trope Launch Pad, edit reasons, the forums (e.g. Trope Repair Shop), or other discussion pages. They're little more than verbal chaff in the actual articles, so refrain from using them there. Please don't have message-slinging wars; use discretion for which applies where, e.g. Work Pages Are a Free Launch is fine when someone has a good work in TLP they think they need permission for, but shouldn't be thrown around when the page is a stub needing help.
