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

Common and period inside or outside quotes depends on American and Commonwealth Spellings, but yeah, it's "first come, first serve".
^This is correct, and reverting unilateral changes that violate "first come, first served" falls under the exception to the Edit War policy that allows edits that bring the wiki in line with policies, so reverting this is fine regardless of who originally added it. PMing them still wouldn't hurt, though, especially since they would be edit warring if they changed it again.
Edited by GastonRabbit You can't just say "perchance".

Brian KT just made an edit (on a page that consistently puts periods and commas inside the final quotation mark), that moved a period outside the last quotation mark without doing anything else. My understanding is that this isn’t supposed to occur (first come, first served on style) so I’ve reverted the edit and sent a notifier.

I don’t think I was the troper who added the example in the first place (it would have been long ago, if so), but am posting here to cover myself in case I did.
