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

I think it's fine as is. The "no sense of scale" page acts as an index, while the sub-pages are the tropes. No examples go on the "main page", all go to one of the subs.

Do you mean the problem is they're linking SciFiWritersHave/X pages? If so than that's a problem as they're not linking to sub-tropes but sub-pages which I believe is not allowed.
^Are you saying examples under work pages should just be Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale and only the tropes page be split?

Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale subpages means a soft-split has grown large enough for each to get own pages, and nobody made a TRS effort to hard-split them to own tropes.

^^I'm asking if it's a problem, since it really isn't a standard way to link to pages.

^I've also seen many non sci-fi examples which seems misuse and makes me wonder if there's meaningful distinction between it and Artistic License or Writers Cannot Do Math.
Looks like it has a bunch of issues to look into.
Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale is currently divided into subpages for Distance, Energy, Mass, etc. A while ago I started seeing the subpages used as trope example entries in their own right, and I've done it a couple of times myself, e.g. linking to SciFiWritersHave.No Sense Of Distance from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds S1E01 "Strange New Worlds". But I'm wondering now if that's kosher or if I should have been linking to the top page.
