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

That was done by Bosco 13, who did leave edit reasons, if a bit sketchy. Me's a Crowd is for when someone clones or otherwise duplicates themselves to make life easier, but instead it gets worse. Some of the examples did look a bit shoehorned in, but the mass move is strange, because as you said, Bio Duplication does not exist.
I've sent a notifier asking about this with a link here. ETA: Their edit history is extensive, but I don't see where they re-added these examples at all.
Edited by laserviking42 I didn't choose the troping life, the troping life chose meI looked back in their history; I didn't see anything that indicated that the first set of deletions were readded anywhere else. The second set did end up on Self-Duplication.
I also blanked on finding anything related to a "bio duplication" trope.
I'm not sure what's going on with the Bio Duplication thing (maybe they just got the wrong trope name?), but I think the deletions are incorrect. The trope description for Me's a Crowd doesn't actually say that the clones need to disagree. It says that the copies sometimes rebel or degrade. Going by both the main and laconic pages, the trope is just "someone self-clones to get a lot of things done," which most of the deleted examples seem to fit.
Edited by SpeedchesserThey did reply, just saying they meant Self-Duplication. I'm trying to clarify, and once again gave this link.
I didn't choose the troping life, the troping life chose meMeant to say Self-Duplication.
I think it was a case of Missing Super Trope where there was Me's a Crowd but no trope for characters who can duplicate themselves but don't argue with all those examples going into Me's a Crowd before Self-Duplication was created.
^^ Again, you made two sets of deletions on the page. One went to Self-Duplication, another set you claimed went to Bio Duplication, which doesn't exist. So I guess you just deleted all the examples and carried on.

Just checked the subpage, MesACrowd.Film, the last time I saw that being several months ago and... what happened all the examples? The entire list has been neutered to two entries...
I checked the Edit reason and it seems like half of the stuff has been relocated to Self-Duplication. Which is fine, but a further line below claims the "other" half of the examples are moved to Bio Duplication, a trope that... uh, doesn't seem to exist.
Also, is there a rule for borderline page blanking without enquiring the rest of the forum? Or maybe I missed out a forum announcement or something?
EDIT: Also its just the film's subpage, I checked the Me's a Crowd pages for Anime, TV series, Video games, books, none of them seems edited
