I guarantee you that there are creators out there that read TV Tropes.

Having said that, the later examples you mentioned are probably coincidences. Show runners and creators don't make executive decisions on what a random website says (even one as prevalent as TV Tropes); otherwise they'd be in a lot of legal trouble.

As for the WIOW page, you added stuff to the page you probably shouldn't have had to begin with. Whether it was the actual show creator or someone else telling itcdr to take them down, you'd have to ask them.

Yeah. The documents were shared in a Discord server that I'm a part of, then I found out last weekend that the documents were actually posted on 4chan beforehand, and that the anon who posted them probably hacked into Pipeline Studios' servers or went against an NDA. I apologize for adding them.

The example mentioned in the edit sounds more like coincidence to me.

Troper Works notwithstanding, I know for a fact that the lead writer of the X video game series is a troper: he fixed a factual mistake I made in one of my trope examples.

There are hundreds of thousands creators in the world. Statistically, some must be aware of TV Tropes's existence. We even have rules forbidding creators of editing YMMV pages of their own works.
