Ok, per mod decision, the purpose of this thread is to scrutinize and clean up pages about web sites. Other Sites, especially, has become a catch-all for "my favorite web site that I feel like pimping."
THE FOUR NOBLE TRUTHS:
- A Web Site Is Not A Work For Troping Purposes: A website can contain tropable content, but the site itself does not automatically have a place with us simply by existing.
- A Web Site That Is Not Tropable Can Sometimes Be Repurposed: It may have a place as a Useful Notes page, or serve as an index if it hosts a lot of works that we do trope.
- User Antics Are Not Tropable: Trolls, mod decisions, forum drama. Such are Troper Tales and sources of spiritual decay. They must be purged, even from acceptable pages.
- User Created Content Is Potentially Tropable: But most of it has its own categories already, such as Game Mod, Fan Fiction, or Journal Roleplay.
Put pages you believe should be completely cut in the crowner at the bottom. If you believe a page can be saved or migrated, make a post with details. Other Sites contains the primary targets right now, but any page about a web site should be scrutinized

There are a non-zero number of entries that are actually about the articles on the website itself; the Clickbait Gag one, for example. We could scrub it of real-life troping and see what's left.
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.

I came across the following site while cleaning up miScapitAliZed namespaces: Website.Texts From Last Night
Please check over the page and do some cleanup because a quick glance looks like the article is about posters in general.

I'm familiar with TFLN from my Tumblr days, and I don't know how many of the texts on that site are proven to be true and how many are just setups (the site's done via text submissions, I think, not screenshots or anything). I'm more concerned about the fact a lot of featured texts are NSFW.

I oppose cutting and half-attempted a sandbox. There's plenty of Conversational Troping and tropes about RW's articles/style/voice. The tropers responsible for the page are really good about citing the wiki...
Cutting the sandbox. RW was never in serious contention for a cut.
Contents
- Antagonist in Mourning: Conservapedia administrator TK passed away in December 2010, eliciting this response on RationalWiki.
"RW noticed his absence and did the legwork to learn of his passing, while CP only seemed to learn of it afterwards (so quickly that it appears that they learned from RW), but have barely even noted the passing of one of their most prolific editors and authoritarian admins. In a truly surreal example of irony, asking about TK's death on Conservapedia can result in a permaban
."
- Appeal to Worse Problems: They call this the "not as bad as" fallacy.
- Apocalypse How: The pages on predictions of the end of the world, that lists dates for said event that have come and go -and still have to arrive-, and especially this other where the ways the Universe could end according to science are described in detail.
- Arch-Enemy: Conservapedia is portrayed as this (the site was created as its opposite), though it's obvious that Rational Wiki views them as more of a loud annoyance more than anything. The site's articles on Conservapedia and Schlafly's antics often read like the history of the Soviet Union under Josef Stalin.
- Armoured Closet Gay: Described as part of Haggard's Law, which states, "The louder and more frequent one's objections to homosexuality are, the more likely one is to be a homosexual." It even has a link back to the Armored Closet Gay trope page.
- Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking:
- The article on types of people who go to hell states that on the lowest circle of hell you find traitors, child molesters, and people who talk in the theater.
- Also, smokers aren't looked upon too highly and mentions of the dangers of smoking seem to pop up in the most unlikely of places.
- In their article on the Presidents of the United States, they say Richard Nixon "[p]layed footsie with white supremacists during the '68 election, then sabotaged the Vietnamese peace talks to win. Secretly bombed Cambodia, launched the War on Drugs, appointed Lewis Powell to enshrine money in politics into law, and scaled back the U.S. space program."
- The Animal Liberation Front's tactics include "vandalism, arson, threatening people involved with this (or family members of theirs), and removal of test animals from laboratories." This last can be dangerous if they are then released into the wild, however, as test animals often lack the skills to survive.
- H. P. Lovecraft had a laundry list of phobias, and the greater part of his work was influenced by his fears of women, foreigners, people of color, and seafood.
- Ass Pull: They call this kind of reasoning PIDOOMA, or "Pulled It Directly Out Of My Ass", as well as argumentum ex culo.
- Basement-Dweller: They coined the Logical Fallacy argumentum ad cellarium concerning the frequent accusations of this on the Internet. Of course, that doesn't stop them from using it themselves, including on the very page.
- Belief Makes You Stupid: The wiki has a complicated relationship with this trope. On one hand, the wiki criticizes creationism and religious fundamentalism, and many older articles even laud atheists for publicity stunts downright forcing people to de-convert. But, on the other hand, the wiki does take a stand against things such as Islamophobia, and even has an (somewhat rather helpful) Annotated Bible, obviously intended for those who wish to understand what each verse means or even convert to Christianity with the prospect of knowing each verse's meaning.
- Bread and Circuses: Their article on this concept takes a very dim view of people who bring it up in modern contexts; they argue that, while there is historical basis for such a thing happening, modern accusations of bread and circuses are often a product of baseless, paranoid conspiracy theories.
- Canada Eh: With English-French bilingual topic headers, no less.
- Catchphrase: Goat.
- This is probably a reference to Matthew 25:31–46, where Jesus says that in the end times he will separate the sheep (his followers) from the goats (his detractors). Or maybe it's just because goats are awesome and tasty. Take your pick.
- They consider Goat Simulator to be the "greatest game of all time." (the abbreviation of that entitlement is GOAT).
- Capitalism Is Bad: The wiki has a complicated relationship with this trope. Some articles vehemently denounce capitalism, while others treat denouncing capitalism as grounds to reject someone as an extremist crank. This is probably because the wiki is home to editors of varying political opinions.
- Cheese-Eating Surrender Monkeys: They actually (jokingly) mention the term in their article on France.
- Clickbait Gag: The article on clickbait is a Self-Demonstrating Article entitled "This MUST READ page on clickbait written by a local mom will CHANGE your life!!!" The article continues to demonstrate exaggerated titles like that in its headers, which are all in the style of "Mindblowing COMMON EXAMPLES of Clickbait that can't be unseen."
- Cluster F-Bomb: Their article on George Carlin, appropriately enough.
- Conspiracy Kitchen Sink: They call it "crank magnetism", or the tendency for a person who believes in one conspiracy to believe in many others at the same time.
- Crapsack World: Out of the nearly 200 countries in the world, all of which have articles, maybe four or five are not subject to Accentuate the Negative. Moreover, the articles on Logical Fallacies and crank beliefs have an air of desperation, as it’s implied that the people who can see through them are a tiny minority. Therefore, the forces of good have an uphill battle.
- Creator Provincialism: There is a lot of coverage on The United States and (to a lesser degree) Canada and the United Kingdom. Continental Europe and other parts of the world — not so much. Just guess where almost all of the editors come from.
- The Cuckoolander Was Right: Discussed in the stopped clock article.
- Idiot Ball: Their Inverse stopped clock article deals with the opposite: when experts speak outside areas of their expertise, or generally reputable people hold a problematic or incorrect belief.
- Cursed with Awesome: If you've been around long enough (a few weeks or days) and are generally thought to be trustworthy, you will be demoted to janitor (i.e. sysop). (Frivolous block wars are common and encouraged; fortunately, in addition to non-serious block reasons, such as one that outright says "block war", there are options to make said blocks last only a few seconds, which help differentiate them from serious blocks.) If you anger the "mob" (as they call their userbase) enough, you will be further demoted to moderator.
- Deadpan Snarker:
- In the article disproving a global flood: "How was the fossil record sorted in an order convenient for evolution if they were laid down in the turmoil of a single flood? That is usually dismissed with a hand wave by saying the animals quickly sorted each other out based on their ability to compete for the shrinking high ground. The theory also fails to take into account fossilized plants, which show the same type of order as animal fossils, and which are not noted for their ability to flee rising floodwaters."
- A similar example of deadpan snark is found on the page regarding the Peanut Butter Argument that life should arise naturally in a jar of peanut butter if evolution is true: "Critics of the argument have pointed out that sealed jars of peanut butter are not, generally speaking, billion year-old volcanic environments rich in ammonia and methane, being bombarded by high energy cosmic rays."
- The official point of view is SPOV, which stands for both scientific point of view and snarky point of view.
- One of the best (and darkest) examples they have is in their article on George Tiller, an abortion provider (one of who was murdered by a pro-"life" gunman in a church.
"Dr. Tiller was in his 267th trimester."
- On "vaccinosis", an alleged illness supposedly caused by vaccines:
WHO defines vaccinosis thusly: "Your search for vaccinosis did not match any documents." The CDC, on the other hand, define vaccinosis as: "No pages or documents were found containing 'vaccinosis'."
- In the article disproving a global flood
- Democracy Is Flawed: Their page on the subject lists its flaws, but calls it "the least bad system of government ever devised by humans."
- Dirty Communists: Despite being very left-leaning, the wiki doesn't make ANY kind of attempts to make excuses for communism in general, particularly when it comes to dictators like Josef Stalin, Mao Zedong, or Pol Pot.
- Don't Shoot the Message:
- In-Universe, despite most of the site's users having liberal/progressive political opinions, their article on the democratic socialist Michael Moore is rather critical, claiming the main things that makes him better than the nationalist-neoconservative Rush Limbaugh are his support of universal health care and that he tells "some form of truth." Similarly, despite being a heavily atheistic site, they don't find the arguments of Christopher Hitchens very convincing. In Hitchens' case, it's partially due to his pro-war position, but his religious positions come under fire as well.
- They've treated people like Thunderf00t and The Amazing Atheist very critically, due to both's views on Feminism and the former's views on Islam.
- Dystopia Is Hard: Discussed in their analysis of authoritarianism and dictatorship and used an example of why authoritarianism is ultimately a bad idea.
- Embarrassing Nickname: The reason there is an article titled "DAESH" rather than "ISIS", "ISIL", etc.: the pejorative used in the Arab world sounds similar to two Arabic words that describe someone who "tramples" upon others (i.e. oppresses), and the group reportedly hates the name.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Essentially what their Stopped clock article is about, whenever a bigot, fraud, or woo promoter finds some kind of crankery that they cannot endorse, and may even understand enough of why it is wrong to debunk it. Just like our own wiki's policy, cases of Pragmatic Villainy and incompatible beliefs are excluded from being considered stopped clock moments, because such cases are either self-serving or expected from the beginning.
- Gravity Is Only a Theory: All instances of such logic being used seriously are viciously torn apart. Anti-Intellectualism in general is subject to a slam.
- The Deepity "The Theory of Evolution is only a theory" is also slammed on the Deepity page: the first read assumes that the speaker uses the word "theory" as a "well-established scientific explanation" but the second read shows they mean "Gravity is just an unsubstantiated guess", which is an Equivocation.
- The Deepity "The Theory of Evolution is only a theory" is also slammed on the Deepity
- He Who Fights Monsters: The original iteration of the site, which was a wiki with a strong, intentional political bias focused primarily on criticism of one website ... created to counter a wiki with a strong, intentional political bias focused primarily on criticism of one website. Over the years, however, as Conservapedia has continued to fall into irrelevance, RW has mostly moved on from its obsession with Schlafly's site, and most of the many articles on Conservapedia minutiae have been consolidated or deleted.
- The Horseshoe Effect: They call it the "horseshoe theory", the idea that the more radical a political group on either end of the spectrum gets, the more its worldview and rhetoric come to resemble that of the other side as opposed to the moderate center. Examples cited include the Communist Party vs. the John Birch Society, Che Guevara vs. Ayn Rand, transphobic radical feminists vs. MRAs and the religious right, and the pigs in Animal Farm becoming exactly like the humans they originally opposed. They're also just as likely to be as critical of the far left as the far right.
- Ice-Cream Koan: They refer to such statements as "deepity", in full Buffy Speak form (the term was coined by a teenage girl, even). By definition, a deepity is when a statement that is "seemingly profound but actually asserts a triviality on one level and something meaningless [or false] on another". One example they give is the saying "Love is just a word": the letters l, o, v, and e do spell just a word, but on a deeper level, the saying is completely false. A lot of other examples include wordplay like this.
- If Jesus, Then Aliens: The article on crank magnetism provides a justification of the trope, arguing that people who believe in one fringe religious/scientific/political viewpoint are inclined to believe a whole host of them due to the psychology that leads people to such positions in the first place.
- Insane Troll Logic:
- Described in their page on "Not Even Wrong", referring "to any statement, argument or explanation that can be neither correct nor incorrect, because it fails to meet the criteria by which correctness and incorrectness are determined." Given their skeptic and debunking mission, they run into this kind of thing a lot.
- Similarly, their page on fractal wrongness:
You are not just wrong. You are wrong at every conceivable level of resolution. Zooming in on any part of your worldview finds beliefs exactly as wrong as your entire worldview. - Described in their page on "Not Even Wrong
- It's All About Me: One of their biggest criticisms of the Mandela Effect is that the theory relies on the idea that the world revolves around the people that believe in it and not realizing that human memory is extremely faulty and can be fooled.
- Kicked Upstairs: Any user who sticks around for a while and regularly makes edits will be saddled with the tedious responsibility of being a (ugh) Sysop.
- Makes Just as Much Sense in Context: As described in the Chick Tracts article:
This panel from a Chick tract makes even less sense in context. (It really does, check if you don't believe us.) Also, goats.
- My Country Tis of Thee That I Sting: Pretty much the only countries that aren't criticized heavily are those in Scandinavia, though most editors are not from there. The United States gets hit especially hard — it is practically obligatory to criticize it every time it is mentioned, though nearly all editors are American.
- New Media Are Evil: The wiki doesn't seem to like Web 2.0 on the explanation that it's making people less smart.
- Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot:
- Ironclad describes himself as a "liberal, homosexual, socialist, atheist, black, British, history-degree-educated PhD-level academic bodybuilder".
- They mock the Barack Obama conspiracy theorists by noting on his page that he is a devout Christian, Muslim, Jew, Nazi, Marxist, Hindu, gay, Satanist, atheist, Martian, and Egyptian-British-Russian Antichrist.
- Ironclad
- "Not Making This Up" Disclaimer: In their article about Andrew Schlafly, to let us know that he really wants to make his own translation of The Bible, as he thinks that every current translation is too "liberal", applying Canon Discontinuity by removing some verses that are the basic tenets of Christianity in the process, even though he admits to having no knowledge of the original languages.
- Only Sane Man: The category Right of Reason is for nationalists-conservatives-liberals with enough reasonable viewpoints that they can be taken seriously.note . The communist-socialist-anarchist-liberal version is called Left of Reason.note
- Overly Long Gag:
- Ted Haggard's article constantly states that he is not gay.
- Megyn Kelly's article constantly ends sentences and phrases, essentially, with the word "essentially," essentially.
- Ted Haggard's article
- People's Republic of Tyranny: They don't even try to be subtle, with North Korea called the "The People's Free Democratic Republic Where We Will Quite Literally Kill Anybody Who Does Not Like the Fair and Equal System of Our Glorious Leader" and crossing through every reference of "Burma" from the Union of Myanmar.
- Political Correctness Gone Mad: Discussed in the political correctness page (naturally). Complete with a Sarcasm Mode-filled diatribe on how to raise your children in a politically incorrect environment that includes heavily enforcing gender roles, deliberately showing your children racist children's books and cartoons, and even getting your children to smoke as early as possible!
- Portmanteau:
- Wiki + vandalism = wandalism.
- The "For Fun" page on Barack Obama claims he is the leader of Islamerica.
- Wiki + vandalism = wandalism
- Quote Mine: They have an article on it. See also Nutpicking (the practice of citing crazy or stupid people to discredit their opinion).
- Rice Burner:
- Kookmobile article discusses the extensive use of signs, stickers, ropes, flags and ornaments in cars that are designed to promote the drivers political views. As the article points out, the amount of these items is often so extensive that it can be very dangerous to drive them around.
- The use of large spoilers in consumer cars is Deconstructed in the Automobiles article which points out that putting a giant spoiler on a consumer car, especially a front wheel drive hatchback, is only going to reduce its performance.
- The Rival: RationalWiki makes fun of Less Wrong while actually sharing some of their user-base and cross-linking each-other's favorite material.
- Rogues Gallery: The site has a page devoted to people who have attacked it, many of them after themselves being attacked in RationalWiki articles. Among them are: Conservapedia, Less Wrong, Metapedia, Dennis Markuze, Seán Manchester, The Anglo-Saxon Foundation, YouKnowIAmRight, Cathy Brennan and Free Republic.
- Running Gag:
- Goats
- Referring to Conservapedia as Schlafly's blog.
- The wiki's rebuttal of Conservapedia's World History Lectures makes constant references to liberals eating kittens.
- Barack ☭HUSSEIN☭ Obama, and how he is a gay liberal commie Nazi atheist Muslim Satanist Kenyan antichrist. "Our Muslim-in-Chief."
- All glory to Saint Reagan.
- Always writing Alan Colmes' name in small text.note
- Megyn Kelly, essentially.
- Gretchen Carlson and the definition of an ignoramus.
- The amount of scientific evidence available for <insert fringe theory here> represented by an animated gif of tumbleweeds blowing past.
- Richard Spencer is definetly not a Nazi.
- Scary Black Man: Discussed in their article on the "Black brute" stereotype. They even link to the Unfortunate Implications page.
- Self-Demonstrating Article: Notably once inverted.
- Self-Deprecation:
- Their wiki comparison table asserts that their intended editor base is "rationalists", while their actual editor base is "Drunk rationalists, goat fetishists".
- Their article on stereotypes has a long list of examples, the last of which is that RW users are "immature nerds," which they then admit is true.
- Their wiki comparison table
- Shoot the Shaggy Dog: Their assessment of Communism, arguing that not only did it fail to end plutocracy while still costing millions of lives, but that in the last powerful country to call itself communist, working conditions are just as bad as those that inspired Karl Marx to become a political activist in the first place. “Nothing has changed except that a few ineffectual people are now dead” doesn’t even begin to cover it.
- Sliding Scale of Silliness vs. Seriousness: In between Wikipedia and TV Tropes. Articles tend to vary from serious to silly. However, regardless of the silliness or seriousness of a specific article, unless it's in the separate 'Fun' or 'Essay' sections of the site, accuracy is non-negotiable (at least in theory).
- Smug Snake: They call this The Dunning-Kruger Effect. This is when a little knowledge gets to someone's head and they end up thinking they're an Instant Expert.
- Stay in the Kitchen: Their page for that is "Kinder, Küche, Kirche" which is German for "Children, Kitchen, and Church". (Which happens to have been a Nazi slogan.) Since they do a lot of analysis of fundamentalism, authoritarianism, and individuals with very firm ideas about traditional gender roles, this gets cross-linked a lot.
- Take That!
- Mostly against fundamentalists and authoritarians, though no one is completely spared, not even the site itself.
- The wiki's origins as an anti-Conservapedia site still tend to show clearly in most articles about nationalist or conservative politicians or political positions; because reality rarely conforms to the USA's definition of political centrism/'neutrality', they don't either.
- Even TV Tropes is subject to a little criticism, most notably a rundown of The Second Google Incident. That said, the article used to be much more critical than it is now, even after the Incident.
- Their tag for blatant sarcasm is "Do You Believe That?" Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron's original Way of the Master video begins with Cameron giving a gross misrepresentation of the Big Bang theory, and Comfort then exclaiming, "Do you believe that?"
- Their Web 2.0 page isn't exactly soft on the site but they do give a bit of humor at the end. The "See also" doesn't hold back the vitriol either as they link to "Stalking, Copyright infringement, Narcissism, Big Brother, Red State Wingnuttery, Nosy Neighbors, and Mafia Protection Money". See "You Are What You Hate" and their page for more.
- There Are No Girls on the Internet: Addressed in "Gender and Sysops", which aimed to encourage a more balanced gender representation.
- Thing-O-Meter: The Irony Meter.
- Tome of Eldritch Lore: Their article on the Necronomicon which comes complete with their characteristic Deadpan Snark:
"Since the time of Lovecraft, several real books have been written and published under the name Necronomicon, though none are known to have the mystical powers attributed to them by Lovecraft’s stories. This is generally thought to be the maximal-utility state of affairs by those who prefer not to have soul-eating eldritch cyclopean gibbering madnesses called into our world out of indescribable gulfs beyond all sane conceptions of space and time."
- Trade Snark: "Small government" is appended with this every time it appears on its page.
- Turing Test: They have an article on it. They also mention it in the context of a Take That! to purged CP sysop RobS, saying he is the only human to fail one:
"Trying to engage in a rational discussion or argument with RobS is an exercise in futility. Rob may be the only human ever to fail a Turing test, in that after reading a couple of his replies you will be left believing you are actually arguing with a poorly designed computer program that takes keywords from what you posted and fashions pre-generated responses that have little to nothing to do with what you actually said to him. It can also be compared to arguing with a magic 8-ball containing an icosahedron in which every side mentions Communism."
- Understatement: "Critics of the argument have pointed out that sealed jars of peanut butter are not, generally speaking, billion year-old volcanic environments rich in ammonia and methane, being bombarded by high energy cosmic rays."
- Warhawk: The wiki frequently calls out politicians and pundits who either didn't serve in the military or did so in positions where they didn't see any combat and still call for an aggressive foreign policy as chickenhawks. Pages on these individuals usually feature an image of this patch◊, coupled with the text: "They so proudly wear this insignia".
- Word Salad Philosophy: They accuse libertarian philosopher Murray Rothbard of as much in their article on him.
- Worthy Opponent: The general RW opinion of former Conservapedia sysop JessicaT, the Token Good Teammate of CP's admins. (Who turned out to be a Sock Puppet for RW user Psygremlin.) They also seem to have, if not affection or respect, then at least a degree of sympathy for CP users who genuinely try to contribute some original conservative thought before the Assfly pisses upon their dreams from great height.
- You Are What You Hate: The wiki does not like Web 2.0 at all, claiming that it is dumbing down society and promoting pseudo-intellectualism, despite or perhaps because of the fact that, as a wiki, the site is part of Web 2.0 by definition, something they Lampshade at the end.

Is Breadtube really a "website"? It's more of a term gets thrown around a lot and the only website that seems to collect them (besides Youtube itself) is an unofficial subreddit. It basically boils down to a list of vaguely leftist Youtubers, even if they don't talk much about politics.
Not to mention some language on the page seems...questionable? And I can't tell if it's ironic or not. (I.E.: "...a number of creators recurrently promoted and/or denounced as inauthentic liberals by the community have their own pages listed below, even though most of them would probably find being listed here insulting.")

The page is currently an index of works reviewed by the website. We shouldn't be indexing works by another work (this would be like indexing movies based on the lead actors showing up on The Tonight Show) and it doesn't have any tropes about the website itself.

I found Twittertalia today. Its last meaningful edit was in 2013 (the only edits after that year are Wick Namespace Migrationnote and a null edit), and it shows. It's full of ZCEs and YMMV tropes, and it's (and I quote) "a group of crack roleplayers who like to roleplay sex, weird situations, mpreg, and even twerking". The troper who created the page and added all of the content to it is no longer active (in fact, making and adding the content to this page is their only known wiki activity). The page has no wicks and isn't indexed either.

That sounds like an easy cut to me, even if it was tropeable.

Warriors Wish has so many problems with lack of context, I'm having a hard time telling what is troping its content/characters and what is troping its userbase.
Total posts: 870
I am proposing cutting Rational Wiki and its subpages as it is troping real-life.
