Last time I checked the list there was only one example... but I could have sworn there was a much longer example list before that. The page history is short too.

What are you saying, exactly? Oh, that the troper tales section seems to have been recently scrapped? Uh.

(btw this is apparently about the Karma Houdini Troper Tales page, here is a direct link to it)

Yeah, I think people can find the troper tales section on their own.

I am saying the list is short, the page history is short, and I get the impression that it must have been recently scrapped and that a new page was created. Why is that?

The only possible explanation (that I am aware of) is that the article was cut. If you're saying you want to restore a cut article, you can check the recently cut list, but I wouldn't get your hopes up. Troper Tales pages are really low priority, they are more like a garbage sieve than anything.

So... it can be cutlisted and a new one created? How does troper tales page generation work anyway, are you supposed to wait for admin approval or can you just create them whenever?

You just create them whenever unless the page is locked.

Go to an article page, edit the URL: change Main to the namespace you want (or leave it if you want it to be in the Main namespace), change the name to what you want, "Click edit to start this new page"... many kinds of pages (Troper Tales, Image Links, WMG, etc.) are automatically linked by buttons to the associated Main page.

Exactly like that. Note the Troper Tales button is automagically generated on the Main page.

(Nice work, Eddie.)

Also, this thread was linked to in a more recent TRS thread about this article, though I think this one may as well be disconnected from the article for now.

Also, I noticed that the part of the caption saying Burns got shot was taken out of spoiler tags. Should it be in spoiler tags or not?

[up] Nah, it would only be a spoiler if it said who shot him.
