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

That page...really has nothing to do with dresses. If it's that irrelevant to dresses, then I think it should be cut and burned.
Sent it to the Cut List.
Wow, I have no idea what it's supposed to be, but it's definitely not a proper page in a proper namespace. It has zero wicks. It doesn't mention any tropes or audience reactions. It's just a random list of how characters have supposedly been bashed by fans.
It's been around since at least 2011. Stubby, not a valid page, no indexes, no wicks, no growth. All good reasons for a cut in my opinion.
Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.
My guess from the title and the content is it's meant to be a page for Real Women Don't Wear Dresses.
My question is if such a page is necessary, especially for the small amount of examples it has.
I just want to point out that its not the only page for this
That one's been around since 2011 as well, and I really do not know what to make of it, except it comes off as commentary to me.
And it's not indexed.
I think we should send the Dresses.Sailor Moon page to the cutlist as well.
Is there a way to see a list of pages under a given namespace? I want to see if there any more dresses subpages.

Here are the pages under the Dresses/ namespace.
I looked through their histories, and they're all from pre-2011. Some of them have been edited as recently as 2015. Dresses.Sailor Moon has the most inbounds, for whatever reason. There's maybe two wicks between them all.
Okay I doomed the Sailor Moon page to the cutlist.All that's left is the Berserk, Gundam and Hellsing Dresses pages.

Preemptively added Dresses.Berserk to the cut list because the examples had nothing to do with Real Women Don't Wear Dresses but were instead complaining and rude comments about Fandom Berserk Button, from FandomBerserkButton.Anime And Manga.
Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they pretty
Doomed those and Live Action Television page for the same reason.
So I found this page
while cycling through Pokémon stuff, and it has this really complainy tone about it. Should I go ahead and send it to the cut list?
