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

At worst, all it does is add a bit of redundancy so, unless we want to strictly enforce the sub-trope only rule, I'm not sure how much it's worth keeping Ruby off.
That said, it also seems like the core issue is the page image of Ruby making people think she should be on the page. It sounds like there's been discussion already but maybe Image Pickin' should take another look at this one.
In the meantime I do think a commented out note is the way to go. Comment out the Web Animation folder, since RWBY is the only example in it, and leave a commented out note that, despite the page image Ruby is not an example of Red Riding Hood Replica due to being an example of Little Red Fighting Hood.
Edited by sgamer82I've commented out the folder as per sgamer82's suggestion, and included a link to this ATT thread.
I think the page image is only going to cause confusion for one work. If the commented-out note works, then the current image may well work out. I'd suggest testing the note before heading in the direction of trying another image picking thread or pulling the image.
If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.I honestly don't see a problem with Ruby being listed under the broader trope if the alternative is edit warring to keep her off. And that's not a good reason to pull an image without replacement, either.

This first cropped up on ATT
just after the trope first went live.
A troper mistakenly thought I was edit warring when the RWBY entry was removed (by me), added by another troper and then removed by that troper after PM discussion between us.
The problem at the time was that the character (Ruby Rose) was listed under the sub-trope Little Red Fighting Hood, and this wiki typically does not trope something under the super-trope if the sub-trope fits. The reason she was re-added was in good faith — the page image caused confusion, leading to the belief that the entry should be listed on the page if the image is there.
At the time, I did open an image picking thread
to resolve the image confusion, but there really isn't a better image of RRHR to be found, so there wasn't much consensus. So, the image was retained, but the image quote does pothole to Little Red Fighting Hood in a note.
Unsurprisingly, a Ruby Rose entry was re-added to the page
two months after it was removed, and references the page image in the entry itself.
Now, I could ask for the entry to be removed. Again. But I think it is just going to get re-added again at a later date because the page image encourages it. Someone did suggest in the image picking thread that this could be handled by adding a commented-out note to the page warning people to not trope Ruby Rose there.
Can I go ahead and add a note to the page saying not to trope Ruby Rose there, and that it'll be removed if added?
