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

The latter has Word Cruft in the form of "Dear God". Should we remove that?
They responded to the PM and promised to do better ^^

[up] [up] Yep!
The Protomen enhanced my life.
Purged the "Dear God, Betty" part, at least.
Bumping to point out that they've edited the page since, and added thing about Archie being shipped, but they've also added a Ron the Death Eater entry for Betty. Is this kosher?
I didn't send the Word Cruft notifier last night, but I will now. Should I PM them here?
I believe the last time Ron the Death Eater came up here, it was pointed out it's a fan work trope, and generally can't apply to canon.
Maybe P Ming them here would make it easier to sort this out.

Sent a PM asking him to come.
Hey guys. I believe that the Creators Pet trope for Betty should be Creators Favorite instead. I will re-edit it to the latter trope.

No, that requires they admit to favoring her. Removed Base-Breaking Character since it's just one of two required sides, and that misuse makes me question the validity of the other edits.
The YMMV.Riverdale page is full of anti-Betty stuff mostly made by one troper, hiddenelastic, who's used Base-Breaking Character and Creator's Pet incorrectly. I sent a Pm about Word Cruft since it was the closest match but we might need to craft PMs about problem tropes like that, IE " Base-Breaking Character needs to acknowledge both sides of an argument" or "Creator's Pet must meet four specific criteria".
Examples:
"Base-Breaking Character: Betty, especially as of Season 2. Some fans argue that they find Betty annoying and hypocritical. Many fans opinions of her have changed for the negative after she blackmailed and threatened Cheryl in 2x02. Her self righteous attitude hasn't done her any favors with some of the fans either. The fact that a lot of fans feel that Betty is favored by the writers, doesn't help matters at all."
" Creator's Pet: Betty. Dear God, Betty. It's speculated that Betty is arguably the writer's favorite given how much focus they give her. This in turn has turned many fans off of Betty's character and they actually find her more annoying and boring, especially in Season 2. Many fans have complained that they wish the writers would stop putting so much focus on Betty and focus on other characters like Kevin, Josie, and especially Cheryl. "
