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.
You mean like, "Why is the author such a ponce?" The answer is: not at all. If it's something like, "Did the author make the character depressed because he is also depressed?", then it is considered gossip and not something we want. If there is Word of God to back up such a claim, then it goes on Trivia, not Headscratchers.

To what extent are "Out-of-Universe" headscratchers allowed?
