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.
Declined and suspended them for violating the rules, but what's that page doing there to begin with?
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
Beats the hell outta me.
Don't know if you caught it at the end of the description but apparently that's an old hoax that got out of control and became a thing? It's Actually Pretty Funny imo lol.
The page blanking and stuff was obviously wrong, but I couldn't tell if Fighteer meant "not in Western Animation" or what. It looks to be in the right namespace wdyt
Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they pretty
Well, JFF isn't the right namespace for it. As an unpublished work, it would belong over in Darth Wiki.
That's what I thought, but if the subject itself is the joke, rather than the hypothetical work that is unpublished, and if that joke is "published" on the Internet, then why would we categorize it as an unpublished work?
If it is JFF, then continuing the joke seems appropriate, but if it's as — say — a Web Original or serious namespace, then we'd have to totally convert the page to be about the joke itself.
Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they pretty
Well, it's still an unpublished work, even if it doesn't actually exist, and even if it's a joke (the joke has been taken so far as to actually trope the "work"), so I'd say it belongs on the Darth Wiki.
My reasoning is that when it comes to unpublished works it's always a bit ambiguous whether they exist or not. Some unpublished works are actually finished and in a shape where they could be published as-is, but I guess many of them are in some state between "finished MS" and "just a bunch of ideas in the creator's head". This particular "work" just happens to fall at one extreme point of that scale.

My question was vaguely worded, but I meant it: what is that work and why is it in JFF as opposed to somewhere else? That seems to have been answered, but it still forces the question of whether it's the proper namespace. We've permitted the creation of articles in Just for Fun for fictional works, so I'd say it can stay.

Phantom Dusclops 92 just cutlisted Lion And Bobo Adventures for the third time after escalating to blanking it.
