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.
That's a quote in an example, right? That's not the rule — it's page top quotes.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"The only reason to remove an example quote pothole was if the quote was being made the page quote, either the first or a replacement. Otherwise, example quote potholes are fine.
(General note: If replacing a quote, it's best to go through the General Page Quote discussion thread.)
Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving. -Terry Pratchett

Should I add a commented out message at the start of Guardians of the Galaxy reminding tropers to refrain from adding potholes to quotes? I removed them in two edits but now another troper is not only adding a new quote with potholes but also covering it all in a spoiler mark.
