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.
Not currently. your best bet is to use a google site search with each term in quotes (eg, "The Dragon", "The Lancer", "Face-heel turn").
Link to TRS threads in project mode here.
I think there was something that did that, look at the banners at the side?
But I think it was a snapshot, not constantly updated...
Tropology sounds right, but I thought you didn't have to install it yourself...

These appear to be really interesting visualizations of TV Tropes, which is cool, but I'm looking for a tag search. To be able to say 'all works with The Dragon and Book Dumb, but not ones that include A Cup Angst.' A boolean operator search or something.
I am fairly certain we don't have that. The current search function is pretty basic, and still a bit buggy. You could add it to the wishlist if you like.
We used to have a widget that you could use to compare works that have tropes in common. That said, the simplest way to find out what works use a trope is to go to the trope article and look at the examples.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
We still have that. It's called Trope Intersect. I use it a lot.
Is there a way to search TV Tropes for works (comics, books, anime, etc) using Tropes like tags? Say I'm interested in reading works that have The Dragon, but only if they also have The Lancer, Face-Heel Turn, Nightmare Fuel, and Mind Screw. Is there a way to use the data in the Examples section of those pages to search for only works which contain all 5 tropes?
