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

Agent Provocateurs is not a Sinkhole because for starters it's not a Pot Hole.
Chained Sinkholes is commonly considered as just "any multiple links together which you can't tell at a glance", so it's probably worth a Wiki Talk.
Edited by Amonimus TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupFair enough. I'll take it to a thread there, thanks!
Link to the Wiki Talk thread for those who wish to join the conversation. Closing this as resolved.
Per the Sinkhole page, Chained Sinkholes "are when potholes are chained with sinkhole characteristics. There's only one sentence, but many pages linked to. Instead of proper structuring, careless editors divide the sentence into multiple parts and link adjacent parts to separate articles. That way we'll get a mess that turns an unnecessary amount of text blue..."
I recently encountered this edit where a pothole was removed, however, it was not up against another sinkhole. Rather, it was a pluralized trope (Agent Provocateurs).
Does pluralizing an otherwise in-tact trope name really qualify as a sinkhole? Seems excessive to me. In this case, I already re-worded the entry to include the clarifying pothole without it being up against the pluralized trope name, but I'd like to know for future reference.
Thanks!
