...I'm pretty sure character pages get some leeway on that? A lot of character tropes are pretty self-evident. Some archetypes are pretty simple and can't really be explained, they just are. I mean really, what context would you provide for Murkoph exhibiting Fangs Are Evil? It's a visual trope, there's not much to explain.
No, character pages don't get leeway on that. Especially since every time someone is claiming that tropes are self-evident, it turns out they are wrong.
Fangs Are Evil needs to explain what her fangs do to make him/her/it evil. It's not just an "evil and also has fangs" trope-
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman
It's not just an "evil and also has fangs" trope
Alright, but in that case the Fangs Are Evil page needs serious retooling. That isn't clear at all from the description, and most of the examples are indeed nothing more than "evil and also has fangs". It's easy to mistake it as a purely visual trope.
Septimus is right. Plus, it doesn't need a paragraph-long explanation. Just one or two sentences describing it fits the trope.
Example: Murkoph is an undead, psychopathic Serial Killer. He also spots a distinctive set of fangs which he uses to chew on people.
Edited by 46.12.170.149 It is sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane.

Killed Off for Real only applies in settings where it could be reasonably believed that a character could come Back from the Dead. How should we handle the entries for Bett, Ephephin, and Turas, then?
(Also, can we really consider Bett to actually be dead? The Word of God comment seemed to be discussing a hypothetical scenario rather than an explicit confirmation. They're probably not coming back though, so maybe just list it under Uncertain Doom?)
Edit: Okay, here's
Word of God on the matter. So we definitely can't peg them as dead yet.

Taking this from Anadyne and Knock-Me-Down:
- Tomboy and Girly Girl: Take a guess which is which.
I'm not sure if they really count. Knock may be fairly tomboyish, but Anadyne is far from a "girly girl".
Having to delete a lot of the word "adopted" preceding "daughter" where Sette and Nary happen to be in the same sentence. Look, Sette's paternity is definitely questionable, but until her adoption is beyond a shadow of a doubt confirmed by Word of God or comic canon - and I want links - we don't know anything. Presume nothing, ladies and germs; for now we must take Sette's belief that Nary's her dad at face value. If it MUST be called into question on the page, we can call her a Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe.
Why have a bunch of tropes been commented out?
