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.

To be fair, if it's a legit example finding just one citation for Ron the Death Eater shouldn't be hard.
And yet someone edited the Unfortunate Implications entry on Why Fandom Can't Have Nice Things to say UI wasn't the only one requiring citations, apparently going by ABR's edit reason. Why's that? And did ABR act without official mod approval on the RTDE citations thing? Is he even the first to attempt to demand RTDE citations? This is all so very confusing...
Edited by ryanasaurus0077Last I saw, looking here, there, and wherever, I can only find that UI requires citations. Nothing about Ron the Death Eater that is an official guideline, rule, recommendation, whatever.
As I understand it, UI is citations only due to a few too many entries that were "some people think" when they were really "this troper thinks", leading to problems. Unless there's been similar problems with Rt DE or something else of a similar nature, I can't see why it would need citations.
Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving. -Terry PratchettYou need the fic that applies the treatment (if a fic does is YMMV, not everyone may agree) because Ron the Death Eater doesn't apply to Disney.Frozen, it applies to the fic based on Frozen.
Link to TRS threads in project mode here.Ron the Death Eater's citation requirement means that you need to cite the fic or other work which applies the trope to a pre-existent character. It's a wholly different concept from the Unfortunate Implications citations.

So I just heard that Ron the Death Eater now requires citations, like Unfortunate Implications (which is still the face of TV Tropes citations to this day, as far as I'm aware). Why's that? And having previously added an example to Frozen Disney upon witnessing certain events here involving the demonization of the character listed in said example (before I had heard about the new citations requirement, mind you), I feel obliged to ask, would a citation from here regarding those events be considered valid? Or would I be better served to look elsewhere for citations?
