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

It can be a problem, yes. You can use datestamps to determine if the person adding it did it multiple places simultaneously, but realistically, if Wiki A wants to demand Wiki B take down content on the basis of plagiarism, it is a matter of Wiki A's ownership of the content, not the user who added it. What you write for Wiki A becomes Wiki A's content, not yours.
Best to write originally for each site.

Here's one doubt that has been bothering me and may be relevant to editors of multiple wikis:
Say you added a bunch of info in another wiki about some subject or another you have knowledge of, off the top of your head etc, and one day, you come here and add it to tvtropes, VERBATIM, now that an article about it has been created (or you are the one creating it...) Think about crosswicking stuff in multiple sites.
Would that be a problem? I know that once you post something online, is not "your info" anymore, but self-plagiarism seems a bit okay to me, if somewhat hard to prove.
