Discuss TV Tropes itself, such as observations you've made about the site/forum/wiki.
NOTE: Keep it civil; try not to get into any Flame Bait-y territory, per the forum rules
(in particular, drama importation and popcorn posting are not allowed, and this thread is for discussion about the site and not the users). In addition, while discussing the Edit Banned thread is not prohibited on its own, discussing and/or alluding to specific ban/suspension cases is not permitted.
One thing I've noticed is that for all how the page for They Might Be Giants claims them to be the unofficial official band of this wiki, there's relatively few people on this site who seem to ever reference them.

Don't rain on my parade.
Besides, all the other emoticons are comparatively more rounded.
Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.WallBangers.My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic has an introduction that resembles one might find in a Dethroning Moment of Suck page.
Honestly, I see no real difference between Wallbanger and Dethoning Moment of Suck. By this point, the entries on either kind of page seem no more or less severe than the other.
Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.Here's a short thread that discusses the differences, and how they're used interchangeably.
For that MLP page, the massive notice is needed because that's such a contentious show. Its DMOS page has an extra commented-out notice too, and has been doing fairly well.
No, I get how they're supposed to be different, but...well, Fighteer in that thread puts it best:
More like an outhouse, in this case.
Actual Observation: Some pages fall so back into people's minds that you wouldn't no we had a no natter or no whining policy. I watched Troy recently as I usually end up doing, went to the trope page to read up on the trope usage. Plenty of the stuff we've been trying to get rid of is still there (Note to Self: Finish cleaning Troy) and that's part of the problem when new editors are introduced to Tv Tropes from one of those less popular pages than no one noticed needed cleaning, they take that as how articles are supposed to look.
Way, way too much My Little Pony for Hilarious in Hindsight. Not every show that ever existed was an omen for the ungodly, supreme, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
my drawing blog ya'll UPDATES 10 TIMES A MONTH WOW, THIS IS STRAIGHT UP MUH SOGGY KNEEOn the Mark Hamill page. Is it just me, or is that not exactly a very flattering picture of him? Aside from the smiling, it almost kinda looks like a mug shot. And his eyes...it's like they're staring into your soul O_O

Fair enough, but I know I've seen better pictures of him post-crash. (And for what it's worth, I don't think he's a bad looking guy.)
Back in the '70s he was in a motorcycle crash, though he ended up mostly fine. Still, his face sustained some pretty heavy hitting. And now you know why he's wearing so much makeup in the Star Wars Holiday Special
Every page is legally required to have a My Little Pony reference. I saw a reference to it on the Good Ol' Boy page. Despite the fact that that page is about country old white (usually human) males.
This tends to happen with fad media.
I've found that generally, after said things are no longer popular, the examples will be edited out where they don't belong. Which, incidentally, is most places they are posted.
Related to what I was saying earlier, the Clock King's entry on the Batman The Animated Series character page needs a serious rewrite. I should do it myself, honestly.
edit: In fact, I will.
This was the worst bit;
No one who's new to the wiki is going to understand that. Indeed, I'm not sure people who aren't new are going to understand it.
