10	You should never add comments in an article explaining that an entry is wrong or incomplete. See Administrivia/JustifyingEdit, Administrivia/ThreadMode, and Administrivia/ConversationInTheMainPage for more information. If the example is wrong, fix it (or delete it). If the example is incomplete, expand it. If you have a question or concern about the example, bring it up in the Discussion page or AskTheTropers.
11
12	These sorts of edits often show as improper Administrivia/ExampleIndentationInTropeLists. Never make an addition to an example that is indented beneath it. It will get removed and flagged as Administrivia/{{Natter}}. Also, while editing, avoid leaving Administrivia/{{Zero Context Example}}s and [[Administrivia/AboutRhetoricalQuestions rhetorical questions]], because these tend to be targets for natter.
13
14	While you're at it, be careful to avoid excessive bias. We aren't interested in hashing out the sides of an argument, and we don't permit the removal of legitimately held opinions, [[Administrivia/WhatGoesWhereOnTheWiki as long as they are in the right place]]. See Administrivia/RightingGreatWrongs.

16	!!You Could Always Edit It Yourself
17
18	Sometimes users will post a complaint about an example being incorrect, or an article being infested with natter or not sorted properly, or information having been missed in an article's description. The response is usually, '''So Fix It'''. You have permission to make additions or corrections; in fact, we depend on those sorts of contributions to improve the wiki's accuracy and thoroughness. As Website/TheOtherWiki says, '''Be Bold''' and make the changes you think are needed.
19
20	The same thing applies if we don't have an article for a particular work or creator. '''Administrivia/ThisIsAWiki''': if you think an article for something is needed, go make it. See Administrivia/HowToCreateAWorkPage for instructions and ProgramEntryTemplate for a sample page to get you started.
21
22	For tropes, we need a bit more rigor. Check TropeFinder first to see if we have the concept already. If nobody can find it, then move over to TropeLaunchPad and pitch it to the community.

26	* If an article is locked, visit [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=gsjp7dldjh2dwdelcha2hu17 this forum topic]] to request changes.
27	* As mentioned earlier, new trope concepts must get pitched to TropeLaunchPad before being made into articles.
28	* RealLife examples are discouraged if they are shoehorned into a trope, are describing real people in subjective terms, or are controversial. If you see an article listed as Administrivia/NoRealLifeExamplesPlease, then please obey those instructions.
29	* Our [[Administrivia/TheContentPolicy Content Policy]] prohibits articles and examples about works that are purely pornographic or are sexually exploitative of minors. When in doubt, leave it out, or ask [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13349331300A11026600 here]].
