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

Site's acting up, meant to reply to something else.

Not inherently. The Laconic Wiki entries are often the basis for "played straight" in the Playing With entries, but they still serve different functions.

^^ How so? If someone wants a quick definition, Playing With is more useful as you can see how the trope is used as well as its meaning.

Laconic is a definition. Playing With is a set of examples. They serve two difference purposes.
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.
True, however Playing With also includes the basic trope, which is all the Laconic consists of.
Example:
The latter has all the content of the former and is more useful.

Should I move this to Wiki Talk?
Yes.
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind for the future.
Something occurred to me: Don't the Playing With pages render Laconic Wiki completely redundant?
