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 the current page quote explains the trope perfectly.
Are you adding to the discussion on this site, or just taking away from someone else's contributions?So should we add notes saying that it is not an example even if it perfectly explains the trope? Create a quotes version of This Image Is Not an Example?
And permission to re-cut the example as misuse while keeping the quote?
You can put a hidden warning not to add History of Power Rangers examples in the Web Original folder. I did that with Alien Among Us to stop people from adding Among Us.

This misuse of Unintentionally Unsympathetic was added back.
This is critiquing the fandom treatment of the character (violating UU being No Real Life, better fitting Misaimed Fandom), not how the narrative treats them (Ransik's called out that his sympathetic past didn't excuse his evildoing, which he himself ultimately realized and allowed himself to be arrested to answer to his wrongs, so he's not unintentional). This entry also argues against UU applying to mutantkind saying this isn't the widespread opinion by fans.
When I first removed this, I asked about changing the page quote ("There's a difference between having a sympathetic backstory and actually being sympathetic.") as it's misuse, but they said to keep as it still conveyed the concept. Not it appears it's continuing to attract misuse, so what to do?
