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

That was me who added that. As I understand it the only things to place in the Trivia/ tab are those which have been defined here as "trivia" and has a trivia banner at the top. Scunthorpe Problem doesn't have a trivia banner so I put it in the Series/ page.
I've heard that there's a forum topic to decide if something not currently defined as trivia is trivia, but I don't know where that is.
v (Not worth a separate reply.) The show ran from 1993-2005. I'm reasonably sure it had closed captioning when first aired, but IDK whether or not the original captions were Scunthorped. Syndicated repeats have audible swear words bleeped along with the closed captioning.
Edited by randomsurferYes, I understand why you put it there. In this case it would probably fit better on the trivia page, since the closed captions aren't part of the series itself (I assume they were added later - or were there closed captions in 1975?) - but, as you write, the rules don't allow it there.
But the article about the Scunthorpe Problem seems more like a definition or as a Useful Note than either a trope or a trivia item. That's why I'd like to discuss it.
Edited by GnomeTitanThe trivia discussion thread
can be found in the long-term projects forum.

What's the best place to discuss whether a trope should be labelled as Trivia, as a Useful Note or something similar? To be more specific, I saw that somebody added Scunthorpe Problem as a trope example to NYPD Blue, referring to the incompetent censorship of the closed captions, and it struck me that that's not really a trope at all (it's not a narrative device or even a part of the show itself).
Launching a TRS thread seems a bit excessive since the "trope" doesn't need repairing, just (perhaps) recategorization (and TRS is closed for new threads anayway). Should I take it to Trope Talk? Or can we discuss it here?
