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.
Dead links should be removed or replaced with working links, obviously.
But if the example is just the link, we have another problem: Weblinks Are Not Examples. So if you can add context to explain what happens in the comic pointed to, do so. Otherwise the example has to go.

Do we link to Archive.org? Its not really feasible to read a webcomic that way due to long loading times. It would also take considerable work to find the page in question if the link isnt accurate. As is the case with Those Destined.
Nope. Don't link to archive.org, just remove the example if you can't elaborate on it.

Fairly often when I look in the web comic section of tropes I find something like "Alice shows how its done in Webcomic" with Webcomic being a dead link. Should I just cut those examples or redirect it to archive.org or what?
Recent example found in Non-Verbal Miscommunication with Those Destined. A webcomic that has been down since 2008.
