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.
Yep. Plus, it has no explanation - even for YMMV items.

Could someone among us who has read this webcomic and gotten to this part please give as good an explanation as possible?
Er... if you don't read this comic, why does having it in matter to you?
ETA: Not that I'm trying to vote against it or something, just wondering.

Just trying to ensure that its YMMV page has at least one item in it, if not Complete Monster (which was already agreed to not belong there for a particular character, as far as I understand). Tell you the truth, I'm not that big a webcomic reader myself (though I do admit to having read Misfile). But someone's got to help keep the quality of This Very Wiki in good shape, though I'm not about to advocate that page's cutlisting for not having any items on it whatsoever without first exhausting all my other options.

The YMMV page doesn't have to have anything on it. If it had two examples and both were nuked for being bad, it can stay blank. Wiki Magic will fix it in time.

^Actually, if you delete the only examples on a subpage, leaving it blank, you're supposed to cutlist it. (See "Deleting Things" on the Welcome To TV Tropes page.)
^See slightly further down in that folder: "You may delete the last example on a subpage if that example is invalid, even if the page is left blank as a result." Wiki Magic will indeed fix it; the page can stay in the meantime, and a blank page is preferable to a wrong one.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
I would not mind this page being cut, since a) the autolocker isn't there anymore and b) maybe cutting it will put a stop on LV.

^^Now I'm confused. I was referencing the line immediately under that one: "You should cutlist a subpage if the deletion of examples leaves it blank." (So I'm not sure what you mean by "further down.") Doesn't that mean we don't want to leave blank subpages lying around? They can be recreated at any time, after all.
Those items are not contradictory. There's a general wiki proscription about blanking pages rather than cutting them. The point of that bullet is to say that, in the case of subpages, it's okay to leave them blank by deleting invalid examples.
At that point, yes, you should cutlist the article, but you won't get in trouble for "page blanking" in the meantime.

except Cut List-ing doesn't always work on a blank article.

Was this only removed from the YMMV page for Anthronauts because Lord Voldemort put it there?
