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.
Can you link to the page you're talking about? If MLP = my little pony, it's not clear which MLP work you mean.

They are talking about the endless list of bullet points that is the The Scrappy entry on YMMV.MLP Analysis.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman
What the... these are real people being described as The Scrappy, which I'm pretty sure is 100% not allowed. These should be cut immediately.
Should that also apply to "Rescued from the Scrappy Heap"?
Real life people are not troped here. Nuke all such examples into oblivion.
Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving. -Terry Pratchett
Taking this into account, I wonder if The Woobie entries on this same page are kosher either. They seem heavily based on real-life events too.
Nuke the real life entries.
Flaming Samurai is trying to worm deleted entries back onto the page, and other subpages as well. Rather aggressively too.
YMMV.MLP Analysis entry for "The Scrappy" is extremely bloated, containing a lot more interpersonal drama than anything regarding the creators works. Particularly accusations of off-screen abuse from parents/friends/community members, linking random drama videos. It is clear that the section is being used as message board more than anything.
Also it seems a few people are determined to fill the page with entries that have been removed from the specific creators page for troping real people.
