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.
Same issue plagues SelfDemonstrating.Superboy Prime.
DC character, I guess, other comic-book characters have a main entry under the ComicBook/ namespace.
^^ Lobo's had two ongoing series (one of which went 60+ issues) so there's a reason for a page to exist.
On a related note, should ComicBook.Deadpool (currently a redirect) be split off to a separate page?
^ & ^^ Notice how I got two different works? This is a known problem
; the medium namespace being used for both work pages and character subpages.
Might as well "officially" announce it now: Comic book character cleanup project coming in early 2020. (After being planned all the way back in 2018, because I didn't want to be running multiple projects at the same time.)

^ That's going to be quite necessary.
In the meantime, I'd like to have confirmation (preferably from a mod) if we're indeed not supposed to link at all to Self-Demonstrating pages, and if it's okay to re-create the ComicBook.Lobo redirect for now.
The only Self-Demonstrating page we should be linking to is maybe Deadpool's as a Grandfather Clause. I'd still link to Comic Book anyway.
If you have three valid tropes from Lobo's series (there's probably enough on the SD page already), feel free to make ComicBook.Lobo.
The page SelfDemonstrating.Lobo exists.
The page ComicBook.Lobo doesn't. Once upon a time, it was a redirect to the self-demonstrating page, but it was cutlisted with the following reason "Redirect to SelfDemonstrating.Lobo, causing people to treat the page as a legitimate work page rather than a Just For Fun page. [Anddrix]"
Beyond the fact that ComicBook.Lobo should exist as it is a genuine work, trope examples shouldn't be linking to a self-demonstrating page. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe that it was clearly stated by mods that any such link (like SelfDemonstrating.Deadpool or SelfDemonstrating.The Joker to only name common ones) should be corrected to the ComicBook/ namespace.
However, in the case of Lobo, the result would be a red link. (There is currently 259 wicks.) What shall we do? Re-creating the redirect would seem to me the absolute minimum, until someone knowledgeable and/or courageous enough create an actual work page...
