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.
Although the name of this section does imply general questions. And the trope is Beauty Is Never Tarnished.
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.
Fortunately, people do not need to puzzle out this page's purpose from the name alone: there are actual instructions at the top there. (Which apparently many people don't bother to read.)
Even though this is the internet, it's better to help people than to insult them.
The most helpful way to respond to somebody asking a question in the wrong place is to direct them to the place where their question will be answered.
Also: If you think somebody has been insulting, announcing vaguely that it's wrong to offer unspecified insults to unspecified people is unlikely to get any kind of useful response. You should try directly addressing the person whose behaviour you think is inappropriate, and be specific about what they did and why it's inappropriate.

This is probably going to sound really dumb, but what is the name for the trope where female characters never get dirty, bloody, or bruised during fights?
