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
for ongoing cleanup projects.
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.
Sinners are TRASH / And they are A**HOLESTroper 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.
Trust me, I'm an engineer!Yeah. See Auto-Erotic Troping and The Fic May Be Yours, but the Trope Page Is Ours.

More of a general question, but I wonder if creators/filmmakers/artists/what-have-you read the TV Tropes pages about their works. I'm asking this because someone found out that copyrighted documents were on the Work It Out Wombats! page and they were deleted "(per request from show creator)" according to the edit reason. Also, the YMMV page for Molly of Denali mentions how the show's hatedom accused it of being a ripoff of Wild Kratts, then the two shows did a crossover episode. The WMG page has the theory that Oscar will grow up to be a lynx-themed superhero, then they made an episode where Oscar draws himself as 'Lynx Boy.'
I think this proves that at least some creators read TV Tropes, but we don't know for sure.
EDIT: I have more evidence. The YMMV page mentions that the character of Kenji is popular with the ladies. In season 3 of Molly, he got Demoted to Extra, probably because the show runners were weirded out by his fangirls.
