Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
Not being able to see the page history I couldn't tell you for certain, but most often if examples are Zero Context, they don't actually count towards the three trope minimum and the page is sent to the Cut List.

I don't think I was the mod who approved the cut but I assume there weren't any tropes when the page was submitted to the cutlist and no one checked to see if the page was updated or not.
I'll restore the page since it had at least three tropes that weren't ZCE's before it got cut.
As a reminder, if you can't create a work page with at three tropes (with context), it's better to make a Sandbox page for the work.

Why was my page flagged and deleted for lacking tropes after I did edit the page to insert three tropes?
