History Administrivia / ExampleSectionectomy

* '''Administrivia/NoRecentExamplesPlease:''' No examples that haven't passed a certain time period yet; for example, some examples must be old enough in order to be considered noteworthy, such as a [=YMMV=] item not being added before a few years after its related in-universe moments appears in a show.[[labelnote:like what?]]tropers must wait for five years after a work's publication to apply ItWasHisSled to the work's {{Plot Twist}}s, unless if they are {{Late Arrival Spoiler}}s.[[/labelnote]] It also happens that examples cannot be about events happening after a certain point of time.[[labelnote:like...]]real life examples of OppressiveStatesOfAmerica cannot be about events after the UsefulNotes/CivilRightsMovement of the 1960s.[[/labelnote]] It's usually to prevent knee-jerk reactions and other questionable entries from being added before one can say for sure that the entries are telling the truth.

* '''Administrivia/NoRecentExamplesPlease'''

* Wiki/{{Wikipedia}}'s "In Popular Culture" sections were heavily pared down as a reaction to [[Administrivia/TVTropesGlossary Fancruft]] and rampant Administrivia/{{Entry Pimp}}ing, of the kind satirised in [[https://xkcd.com/446/ this]] ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'' comic. The crackdown may have been instigated by a particular instance of a lengthy Administrivia/EditWar about how much the page on [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madame_de_Pompadour Madame de Pompadour]] should have described her depiction in ''Series/DoctorWho''.

* '''Administrivia/DefinitionOnlyPages:''' No examples anywhere. The trope cannot list examples from works, nor can it appear on a work's page or subpage. It may be linked from an example of another trope to provide context, and it may be linked from a trope or work description. If the trope is also YMMV, it may not be linked to give context to a non-YMMV example unless used InUniverse. These pages are usually a mixture of tropes and terms that don't create interesting examples (or attract [[Administrivia/TheContentPolicy the wrong sort of interest]]).

!!Non-Wiki/TVTropes examples:

This page applies to tropes; work pages that have their examples removed are decided by Administrivia/TheContentPolicyAndThe5PCircuit, and will be listed there and not here.

* '''Administrivia/DefinitionOnlyPages:''' No examples anywhere. The trope cannot list examples from works, nor can it appear on a work's page or subpage.

* '''Administrivia/NoRealLifeExamplesPlease:''' Removal of only RealLife examples. Often applies to tropes that pass judgment in a way that would be [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment controversial or unfair]] if they were applied to real life. Works based on real life, including NonFiction, may be listed as examples of these tropes if they ''explicitly mention them'', in the section for the work's medium (there being no RealLife section). These tropes may still be linked from anywhere on the wiki, as long as the link does not concern RealLife events; this means they may not be linked from RealLife subpages or UsefulNotes pages on the event. The reason to do this is that regardless of what creators may think of a real life person or event, the wiki shouldn't have an opinion like that, if only because Tropers [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment tend to fight over it]].

* '''FlameBait:''' No examples allowed on any work page, but examples are allowed on FlameBait pages themselves (unless also indexed on Administrivia/DefinitionOnlyPages). Links to these tropes are not permitted from any example lists or work descriptions. For the most part, talking about these tropes usually results in a FlameWar.
* '''Administrivia/NoOnPageExamples:''' The opposite of FlameBait; no examples on the trope page, but the trope may be listed on a work's example list or description. If the trope is also YMMV, it may not be linked to give context to a non-YMMV example unless used InUniverse. If the trope is also {{Trivia}}, it may only be listed on Trivia subpages, although it may be linked in trope or work descriptions or to provide context to other examples.
* '''Administrivia/DefinitionOnlyPages:''' No examples anywhere. The trope cannot list examples from works, nor can it appear on a work's page or subpage. It may be linked from an example of another trope to provide context, and it may be linked from a trope or work description.

These pages are usually a mixture of tropes and terms that don't create interesting examples (or attract [[Administrivia/TheContentPolicyAndThe5PCircuit the wrong sort of interest]]).

* '''Administrivia/NoStraightExamplesPlease:''' No examples where the trope is [[PlayingWithATrope played straight]] -- something ''unusual'' has to be done with them, like a {{subver|tedtrope}}sion or an {{aver|tedtrope}}sion. Used for tropes that are so {{omnipresent|tropes}} that listing every straight usage would bog down the page with examples from almost every work ever made. These tropes may be linked from work pages and subpages, subject to the rules of {{Trivia}} (allowed in work descriptions and in example context) and {{YMMV}} tropes (allowed in examples of other YMMV tropes context), as well as from trope descriptions.

* '''Administrivia/NoOnPageExamples:''' The opposite of FlameBait; no examples on the trope page, but the trope may be listed on a work's example list or description. If the trope is also {{YMMV}}, it may not be linked to give context to a non-YMMV example unless used InUniverse. If the trope is also {{Trivia}}, it may only be listed on Trivia subpages, although it may be linked in trope or work descriptions or to provide context to other examples.

These pages are usually a mixture of tropes and terms that don't create interesting examples (or attract [[Administrivia/TheContentPolicyAndThe5PCircuit the wrong sort of interest]]).

Not all examples are welcome on this wiki. Some are too contentious; causing arguments whenever they appear in a work's page or whenever there's too many in one place. Some are so ubiquitous, they don't even seem like tropes ([[Administrivia/NoTropeIsTooCommon but are]]). Some are NotSafeForWork; banned to keep our sponsors happy (and making our site FamilyFriendly).

In these cases, an [[ShapedLikeItself Example Sectionectomy]] is conducted. It's also known as a '''No Examples Please''' page when all but the definition are removed from the page.

Works are handled by Administrivia/TheContentPolicyAndThe5PCircuit, and therefore won't be listed here. Please review that page and Administrivia/FiveP if you think that a work's examples should not be allowed on this wiki.

* Administrivia/NoRealLifeExamplesPlease: Works based on RealLife, including NonFiction, may be listed as examples of these tropes, in the medium of the work (There is no section for examples of RealLife). These tropes may be linked anywhere on the wiki so long as they do not concern RealLife events (Do not link to these tropes from RealLife subpages or on any UsefulNotes pages related to the event). [[note]]These tropes often run afoul of the Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment. We want to make sure that we are not saying the real person/thing is the example. [[/note]]
* Administrivia/InUniverseExamplesOnly: These trope pages only collect InUniverse examples from works (examples where the audience is RealLife are forbidden). InUniverse examples of these tropes may be linked to on any trope pages and on any work's pages (They are not listed on a work's YMMV subpage). [[note]]These tropes are limited to AudienceReactions that appear within the work itself. InUniverse reactions are objectively present.[[/note]]

* Administrivia/NoStraightExamplesPlease: These trope pages restrict certain categories of examples from appearing in the example list. These tropes may be linked anywhere on the wiki, subject to normal Trivia and YMMV banner rules[[labelnote:Trivia and YMMV]](Both may be linked to in trope descriptions, Trivia-tropes may be linked to in work descriptions and in example context, YMMV-tropes may be linked to in example context for other YMMV-tropes, and InUniverse examples of YMMV-tropes are allowed to be linked anywhere)[[/labelnote]]. Examples in work (sub)pages are subject to the same restrictions given on the trope page. [[note]]An index of various pages that only allow one or more types of PlayingWithATrope.

These "tropes" may be linked to on indexes and trope descriptions. Do not link to them in ''any'' example lists. Do not link to them in ''any'' work descriptions. [[note]]These pages have proven too contentious to allow examples anywhere. {{Flame War}}s appeared everywhere, but the definitions, and in some cases examples, were too useful to eliminate.[[/note]]

A lengthy Administrivia/EditWar about how much attention the depiction of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madame_de_Pompadour Madame de Pompadour]] in a ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode should have received on her page may have contributed.

Sometimes, the example section of a page gets bloated. The reasons why vary, but we typically deal with it in one of these ways:

* Prune the examples: Editors review the example list looking for ones that are poorly written (or [[SquarePegRoundTrope off-topic]]) which can be removed from the page, leaving behind the good examples.
* Kill it with fire: Delete the entire article as having poor focus. If it's determined that we don't want the page to ever come back in any form either, it joins the Administrivia/PermanentRedLinkClub.
* [[DivideAndConquer Create a set of subpages for it]]: Useful if the page is sufficiently popular, and also sufficiently objective, that deletion is undesirable. (The results may possibly be put under SugarWiki/SugarWiki or DarthWiki/DarthWiki if not objective, and sufficiently popular and straightforward (e.g., SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome, DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible).)
* Leave the trope where it is, but make the example section a separate page, sometimes on the SugarWiki/SugarWiki or DarthWiki/DarthWiki.
* [[Administrivia/RenamedTropes Rename a trope.]] Sometimes it's the title which can cause the whole mess. See Administrivia/EverythingYouWantedToKnowAboutChangingNames for more detail on that front.
* Cut and prohibit all examples from the page: The course of action for which this page is named -- what's left is a readable definition and some scar tissue saying "No examples please. This only defines the term." Everything else goes in the wastebasket.[[note]]Sometimes, the Example Sectionectomy is pre-emptive, as was the case in the launching of PetPeeveTrope. This is typically used on the pages of [[TropesAreNotBad tropes that actually ARE bad]].[[/note]]
* Move examples to another wiki entirely. This measure is rarely taken, but it ''has'' happened, usually for content that gets too family-unfriendly for our tastes. Examples include FetishFuel.

For more detailed reasons behind cutting examples, have this format:
* Page X: Reason (Additional Notes) -- also Permalocked (if it is locked)

!!Examples of articles deleted entirely:

* Basically any member of the Administrivia/PermanentRedLinkClub (aside from ThisTroper, and other deliberate redlinks).

!!Examples of articles split into multiple pages:

* Any page that was on Multipage Tropes back when we listed those.
* FridgeLogic → now largely located in the [[Headscratchers/HomePage Headscratchers namespace]] → Now combined with other Fridge thoughts in its own section.

[[folder:Too Speculative to List]]
Similarly with the Too Common section, these tropes rely too heavily on audience situations, and listing them would [[TropeDecay result in unwieldy sections]]:

* AccidentalNightmareFuel: Was once called NightmareFuel, with NightmareFuel being "High Octane Nightmare Fuel". However, when these got their names, this had suffered massive TropeDecay, being more subjective than NightmareFuel.

!!Examples of segregated examples:

!!Examples of Administrivia/RenamedTropes:

* Boring Invincible Hero → InvincibleHero
* You Fail X Forever Pages → Artistic License - X (e.g., You Fail Biology Forever → ArtisticLicenseBiology)

!!Examples of dumping the examples list on another wiki:

* FetishFuel
* TroperTales, although that's long gone. Today, the Troper Tales are all but lost.

!!Mixed examples:

* MarySue received somewhat of a 2/4 hybrid, with the article being (almost?) completely re-written and losing all the examples. Though now it seems the new page is a stitched-up combo of the two versions a la Frankenstein's monster... We're not sure what to call it.
* LogicalFallacies (under its former name You Fail Logic Forever) initially had a spin-off page (InsaneTrollLogic) for listing non-specific examples as the page had become rather bloated, and a release valve for non-specific examples was thought desirable (type 5). And then the original page was reorganized so that all the fallacies contained therein were spun off into their own pages (type 3), while the original spin-off had developed through a sort of reverse TropeDecay into a full trope in its own right [[note]]An argument so riddled with flaws as to enter the realm of either {{parody}} or PoesLaw[[/note]].
* Everything listed in Administrivia/NoRealLifeExamplesPlease counts as an example of a partial Example Sectionectomy; the scar tissue differs in that it contains "No real life examples, please!" rather than "No examples, please. This only defines the term.", as RealLife is the example subsection most prone to need pruning, for various subtly obvious reasons.
* NightmareFuel was originally HighOctaneNightmareFuel, with AccidentalNightmareFuel originally being Nightmare Fuel. Needless to say, the change was a little confusing for in-wiki links, but necessary due to people using the trope to describe anything they personally found scary. Even with the name changes, Nightmare Fuel pages for individual works ''still'' tended to get bloated with poor examples that just happened to coincide with a single person's fears (it's supposed to be things that are frightening to the entire general population), so the examples were tentatively removed -- this sparked a rather large backdraft. Currently, the Nightmare Fuel pages for works operate under what we're calling "Example Lobotomy" rules -- examples are allowed, but hyperbole, PurpleProse, and other forms of flowery page-bloating cruft are kept to a strict minimum.

* Wikipedia's "in popular culture" sections were heavily cracked down on at one point as a reaction against "{{Fancruft}}" and rampant {{Entry Pimp}}ing, of the kind satirised in [[https://xkcd.com/446/ this]] ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'' cartoon. A lengthy Administrivia/EditWar about how much attention the depiction of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madame_de_Pompadour Madame de Pompadour]] in a ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode should have received on her page may have contributed.

This only defines the term." Everything else goes in the wastebasket.[[note]]Sometimes, the Example Sectionectomy is pre-emptive, as was the case in the launching of PetPeeveTrope. This is typically used on the pages of [[TropesAreNotBad tropes that actually ARE bad.]][[/note]]

* SerialNumbersFiledOff: Very bad FlameBait, as it can attract instances of Complaining regarding a work [[TheyCopiedItNowItSucks ripping off another work's features]], when it didn't. This may qualify as "Too Common", but this proves to be too bad an InternetBackdraft.

* {{Squick}} -- also permalocked

Too Common To List (Listing these would bloat the entire selection, even with subpages. It will also inevitably result in Administrivia/SignalToNoiseTrainwreck regardless of anything):

* ShippingGoggles

* AllThereIsToKnowAboutTheCryingGame

* LogicalFallacies (under its former name YouFailLogicForever) initially had a spin-off page (InsaneTrollLogic) for listing non-specific examples as the page had become rather bloated, and a release valve for non-specific examples was thought desirable (type 5). And then the original page was reorganized so that all the fallacies contained therein were spun off into their own pages (type 3), while the original spin-off had developed through a sort of reverse TropeDecay into a full trope in its own right [[note]]An argument so riddled with flaws as to enter the realm of either {{parody}} or PoesLaw[[/note]].
