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.
Soapboxing - "I have something to say on a subject, usually at least somewhat controversial, and I will say it!!!" Nevermind Editing guidelines, How To Write An Example, or any of it.
Provincialism in the broader meaning is someone is primarily focused on their little corner of the world, and everything that happens or comes from outside of it is automatically suspicious. The kind of people who cry fake because they haven't personally experienced or seen something. This is a bad viewpoint to take with trope examples, which come from every height and depth of the human mind.
Self-indulgence can mean going Sugar Wiki X 100 on main articles, orrrrr 'typing one handed' when writing an entry.
Anyone else have anything I missed? :)
Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving. -Terry PratchettI suppose that in this case, the self-indulgence could also have been of the kind where tropers go on at length about things that are important to them in general, and not just for sexual reasons. Not quite troper tales, but examples where it's clear that it was the trope who thought doing something was worth a lot of hardship.

The reason for (Was it Really) Worth It? being listed in No Real Life Examples, Please! before the categorization overhaul, has said "Attracts soapboxing, provincialism, and self-indulgence". What did it mean by these? Can you also define these three TV Tropes terms?
