Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
I guess it wouldn't hurt to have some better qualifiers for the main page, but also from a reader perspective I think it's important to think about what would make for a better browsing experience when each page is created. Because a lot of characters are in fact just really heavy on text and not necessarily number of tropes or something like that.

Then this is a problem with the writing. An example list should ideally have no walls of text.
Thinking a thread in Wiki Talk to nail down some guidelines on what qualifies should go first, otherwise we'd be debating each entry on a case by case basis.
^ I agree. I am going to wait for more opinions for a bit. Then start one in Wiki Talk.
Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup thread
Just speaking from bias, I'd be very upset if all the work I put into Character Specific Pages got reverted lol

I made a couple as well, but the way I see it. If something I did is undone. So what? This is a wiki with a lot of opinions and rules. Not everything here is some thing that needs to stay a page. Pages get cut all the time.
Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup thread
I think another cleanup thread when the character pages cleanup isn't moving very quickly is unnecessary.
^ I agree, and not just because I made the character page cleanup and am biased, lol. But they shouldn't be split from the normal clean up thread, and I'm not seeing any special circumstances that'd compel me to think otherwise.

I really don't care if it's made into a cleanup or not, but just that it is given concrete rules.
Edited by Bullman Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup thread
Um, alright. Nobody else here really seems to think we need one though; everyone wants a Wiki Talk thread first.

How's that different?
Character Specific Page cleanup
A Wiki Talk thread is done to discuss policy. A Cleanup thread is specifically for cleanup. The P:LT/P forum doesn't handle policy changes or discussions of that nature. It handles the actual cleanup work.
These are different forums we're talking about here.

Is there a way to move the thread to Wiki Talk?
Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup thread
You'd have to holler a mod. Or alternatively just make a new thread and let that one be for a while.

Yeah, I'd rather not repeat what I've typed from scratch.
Character Specific Page cleanup
I have been thinking of starting one for a while. I know we have a Character Pages cleanup, but I thought it would be beneficial to make one for Character-Specific Pages. As a lot of them don't seem needed and could easily fit in their original spots with out much trouble. Would that be unnecessary? Am alone in thinking that?
