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.
If you're writing a link to Door Stop Baby on its page or in an example for another trope you can. If you're putting the trope on a work or character page then you need to put the trope name as it is and clarify any difference in the example itself.
Good:
- Door Stop Baby: Well, babies [etc]
Bad:
- Door Stop Babies: [etc]
Basically, if you're writing an example for a trope, you always leave the title of that trope intact, even if it doesn't fit the example to the letter.
EDIT: Unless you mean "is that how you'd modify the Pot Hole", in which case it's "{{Door Stop Bab|y}}ies" (you block off the part you want to remove with a "|", not another curly bracket).
Edited by Bisected8 TV Tropes's No. 1 bread themed lesbian. she/her, fae/faerOf course! "Is that how you'd modify the Pot Hole?" is basically the question I was asking. Thanks. (And as for that other curly bracket, I wasn't paying much attention as I was typing.)

If, for instance, the Chipmunks from Alvin and the Chipmunks were all examples, and not just one of them, would {{Doorstep Bab}y}}ies, for example, be the proper way to write the trope name? (Note that this is another formatting-related question, so I decided to show the source code for the example.)
