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.
A) They don't belong anywhere on the wiki unless it's a page where you should be posting the images, and B) This is ridiculous. Pgj 1997 seems to really pouring on the "cause I want to" reasoning over and over. He doesn't care about proper context, is effectively doing a "use image to create context" now, refusing to use proper words. This is also the second Edit War he started. It's not just the other users, who shouldn't be doing this, but this user is causing trouble more and more.
...It's weird having so many websites and no way to properly display now, lol.I can't remember where it is at the moment, but somewhere there's something saying emojis and emoticons are Not Allowed on wiki pages. Forums are a different matter.
Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving. -Terry PratchettThat was Tips Worksheet and the edit tips. I've backed out the latest emoji restoring edit.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanFor the work page of a movie focused on emojis, I think we should be willing to make an exception to the rule.... But that should take a dedicated discussion thread to decide. Said discussion is too long for an ATT thread.
Edited by crazysamaritan Link to TRS threads in project mode here.If someone wants to make a Self-Demonstrating subpage, they can use all the in-line emojis they want. But the main article shall follow our style rules.

Discord: Waido X 255#1372 If you cant contact me on TV Tropes do it here.Self-Demonstrating seems a reasonable compromise.
Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving. -Terry PratchettIt's terrible to want visual context for a movie that relies on visual references? "Meh", "eggplant", and "hand" don't provide enough context for someone who isn't familiar with emoji use.
- Female Angel, Male Demon: The 👼 (angel emoji) is presented with feminine hair, while the 😈 (devil emoji) is presented in a more masculine shape.
(Note: haven't seen the movie, no clue if the above context is correct. Current page presents a ZCE after removing the visual references.)

^^ Your example doesn't provide any visual context either—the "emojis" show up as gibberish text...which pretty aptly sums up what I think is the biggest reason not to use emoji on a non-SD page: non-ASCII characters are too easy to break, and even if they're used correctly, they don't show up on all devices, and when they do show up, they have different appearances depending on your device and the OS it uses. The benefit would be minimal at best, especially considering that the movie's designs don't necessarily resemble any RL emoji designs.
I don't see any reason why that example couldn't be rendered as:
- Female Angel, Male Demon: The angel emoji is presented with feminine hair, while the devil emoji is presented in a more masculine shape.
The original question has been answered.
pgj1997, Realshow, and Sugarp1e 1 are edit warring over whether to have emojis in the text to describe the characters or not. The characters page also has this issue.
