Your mama may have had eyes in the back of her head, but our admin team just can't see everything at once. It takes a village to make sure TVTropes is running the way it should, so when it comes to spotting tech snafus, dreaming up a better digital mousetrap, or just diagnosing plain old asshattery, the quicker you let us know something's up, the quicker we can address it. See a bug? Point to it and we'll squash it. Have idea for a new feature? Post in the Tech Wishlist.
NOTE: Do not post duplicate bug queries, please check existing queries to see if your issue has already been reported and then comment on it.
Oh, the Browse button at the top!

What's one of the pages that shouldn't appear there? I can't find any yet?
EDIT: Ah. Found Rose Of Versailles Abridged. Where I was the cutter! Mmm.
And Spearbreakers.
I wonder if they had the Trope page type before they were cut. Remaking them and changing them to Administrivia type before cutting *might* fix it?

It's probably a Red Link, but it did show up just now in the "Browse" button list.
That's exactly the kind of nonsense that I was complaining about.
It's probably not filtering live pages and takes all pages it knows.
A screenshot with a demonstration would help for reference.

Sometimes when I'm bored, I surf the "Browse Tropes" function to find something new to read or as inspiration, but it occasionally present pages that were deleted loooong ago.
Trope and work pages that were cut for various reasons still show up in Browse Tropes, even if they don't lead to any page after clicking them.
The worst examples are spam scam pages like "wtach KUNG FU PANDA 3 free hot singles in ur area giv us mony". "Pages" that were nuked, but Browse Tropes still thinks that they are important enough to show.
And that's not counting that sometimes the list compiled by Browse Tropes can turn VERY long, filled with pages of works, Useful Notes and even some Troper pages.
At this point, I'm betting that a member of the Red Link Club is gonna show up on Browse Tropes one day.
Is it possible to update whatever system Browse Trope runs on, and make it less stupid?
