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.
When it happens to me (whether in that thread or in another), I just post the question again after a while. Some people either don't care about the question, or lack the familiarity required to give an answer.

Whenever my unanswered "Is this an example?" queries get lost, I often re-post said queries on the following page(s) if needed.

Bumping is fine as long as there's some buffer in both days and posts. After a couple of tries it's best to go with personal judgement, not everyone may know a good answer.

So, does "Bumping" essentially mean that you're creating duplicate posts? I'm just curious.
I'm not sure how to add my pawprint to my signature on a keyboard...
^ "Bumping" means making a filler post to either bump a forum thread up to the top of the first page of a forum or a reminder to other users of a post in a thread that didn't get any responded.

So, if I create a Bump post on the "Is This An Example" thread, then will it convince the other users to look back at my previous post?

Bump is just a general name for posts that are meaningless by themselves and only exist to bring attention to some previous post. There's a higher chance someone will take a look, but it again isn't a guarantee.

I recently posted a trope related question on the "Is this an example"
thread, however it went completely disregarded. I don't want to be rude and just keep spamming the same question over and over again until it gets answered, and I don't think the Holler feature is intended to be used for getting your question answered, so where should I go to get my question answered?
