Nope, namespaces cannot be nested. You can create normal namespaced subpages (example: Quotes/Tropername), but you have to link them manually. Generally we allow these to the extent that they don't clash with articles in the main wiki. So if we need a Quotes article for something that has the same name as your contributor page, your Quotes page would get cut or moved.

Ouch. Sounds very kludgy and improvised.
You could use folders.
Rhymes with "Protracted."
@OP:
You can folderize your userpage, which helps cleanup. [EDIT: Ninja'd!]
You can also create a secondary userpage like so: Tropers/UsernameSubpage rather than Tropers/Username/Subpage, but I'm not sure how kosher that is.

Pika is the bombchu!
Again I'll ask, what happened to the double namespace idea? If it was 100% shot down, I didn't notice the post that said so.
Cause making "Troper" a media subtype akin to "Film" would make quote subpages and such allowed.
mudshark: I don't expect Nate to make sense, really.

It was not "shot down". It's just that doing so is a major piece of work that's way down on Eddie's priority list.

I can think of so many possible ways to play with tropes and works alike that are similar to YMMV, Wild Mass Guessing, Troper Tales, Playing With, etc. But in ways very particular to an individual user's imagination that may be too elaborate and voluminous for a multi-user page.
I suppose the Tropers/UsernameAppendedImprovisedSubpage format can work for the time being.

^^^ To clarify. It doesn't work now, and rewriting the code to make it work is a very low priority.

That's fair. I'll improvise.
Are subpages allowed in the Tropers/ namespace? For instance, Tropers/Username/Subpage. Similar in convention to user subpages on Wikimedia wikis, such as User:Username/Subpage. If these types of pages are allowed, what kinds of content are allowed in them? I'm thinking potentially things like personal fanon pages, extended trope lists/commentaries, etc.
