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.
Seems rather strange that we'd have a page for nonexistent works, but I guess they would need to be indexed somewhere as long as the articles exist. That said, if it no longer has an article, then there's no point in indexing it.

Isn't this sort of what Darth Wiki is for?

I thought Darth Wiki was just for stuff that doesn't exist in any medium except some dude's imagination.
At least with canceled video games, you have proof that they exist, like trailers or concept art.
"Come on! Let's get this show on the road."
Several of the games on the canceled video games list were actually leaked to the public (such as Fallout: Van Buren, Thrill Kill, and Penn and Teller's Smoke and Mirrors; the latter is the source of the infamous "Desert Bus"), so they do exist—just not in the form that they would have if they had received an official release.
It's not on uncommon for older unreleased games from before companies had such high security to get leaked, especially when it got far enough fully working beta copies were manufactured (which often made their way into the general public and now are highly sought after to collectors)
There was also a fairly complete late beta of the canned Starfox II for the SNES leaked if I recall.

Sorry for the bump, but I saw that Winter has ONE trope on it, and Final Fantasy Mystic Quest Remastered is a Fan Remake, not an 'official' game, fan game, or fan sequel. Should anything be done about those? (I was thinking of making a Sonic X-treme page too, since it has a lot of tropes given its multiple iterations.)

I don't know if X-Treme could have a concise page for it. Sonic fans are still figuring it out what exactly it was. It has such a lengthy and mangled development process, and there were two different versions of the game. If the fan-remake ever comes out then it could get a page.
^^ Winter can safely be cut because of the lack of examples.
FFMQR falls under the same rules as any other fangame that received a C&D - it can be troped, but don't link to download sites.

Stub pages should be cut if the creating troper is inactive. And ATT threads should not be bumped to talk about completely different things.

I was looking at the Canceled Video Games page and noticed Sonic X Treme isn't on there. At first i was confused, but I seem to recall there being a rule against troping that game because it was canceled. if that's the case what should be done about these other games on the page?
