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.
The actual body of which page?
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman
The Music folder on the Mondegreen page is infested with non-IUEO examples, for starters.
Edited by MegaMarioMan "Come on! Let's get this show on the road."
Also a few in the video games folder.
These need to be removed, then. That trope was made IUEO a long time ago but apparently needs some cleaning.

There's also an awful lot of natter in the Music folder. What is even worth keeping in that folder? There are some cases of one artist referencing misheard lyrics from another artist, so I'm guessing those can be kept, but not the ones that simply say "lyric X sounds like Y" or something like that.
Edit: Removed examples that were clearly misusing the trope as an audience reaction. I left instances of one artist referencing another and artists referencing misheard lyrics from their own songs. There might have been some examples that need to be moved to other folders, because the misheard lyrics were referenced in other types of works.
Another edit: Sorry about any mistakes I might have made; hopefully I fixed them all. I haven't been up for very long so I might not be completely awake.
Another edit: Got to the video game section, which fortunately had a lot less than the music section. There was also a Zero-Context Example that I think might be valid, but I can't verify it because I don't remember what it's referring to.

For the ZCE: you could pull it to discussion to ask for context.

The description of Mondegreen has a notice that it's for In Universe Examples Only, with actual misheard quotes and lyrics going on Quotes.Mondegreen instead. The actual body of the page then proceeds to list several plain old misheard quotes and lyrics. Should these examples just be cut immediately, or is this kind of rampant misuse a sign that a TRS thread might be needed?
