I don't think there is such a thing as a trope only allowing examples on its own page. That sort of defeats the point of it being a trope.

It sounds like you want the opposite of No On-Page Examples, which...doesn't exist.

Not entirely sure if this is what you mean, but there is Example Sectionectomy, which has links to indexes of pages that don't allow examples at all.

All Flame Bait tropes are on-page only by default, that's for certain. Other than that, I only know about Getting Crap Past the Radar (because it happened not that long ago), which was done to fight rampant misuse, with a perspective to make this decision permanent; it may or may not be the only trope with such treatment, which would explain the lack of dedicated index.

And the Getting Crap Past the Radar thing was supposed to be temporary, but people just cut the examples and moved on and not a lot of people actually went back to the pages after June 1. It was a really weird decision IMO, and very hard to enforce.

Edited by mightymewtron I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
