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

I think that line is supposed to be a joke given the (inexplicably) self-demonstrating nature of the page.
Glancing at those, most of those are blatantly misuse, though, not even taking ROCEJ into account.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.Misuse could be general "examples" or if it concerns something that actually turned out to be true. Or if it isn't an obvious lie.
That said, some of the stuff in the RL folder could probably be moved to a more fitting section. I just moved the Swedish television one, since the TV tax thing is true in RL but the story in the example is less like a RL event and more like a joke someone might tell (and the example even called it an "urban legend").
Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they prettyBecause most of them really aren't that blatant. They're blatant in the sense that they're easily fact-checked, but a Blatant Lie should be something that is blatantly visible as a lie the second it escapes someone's mouth. Turning it into "this is a lie that is verifiably untrue" is Trope Decay. Some of them are even specifically mentioned as successfully tricking people.

The "Not Real Life" folder for Blatant Lies starts with "This kind of lie has never actually worked in Real Life. Therefore, what follows are all aversions and subversions." But most of the following Real Life examples are straight uses.
The line was added by Thesedaysthosedays, I can't see anything to suggest it wasn't a unproved unilateral decision. Is it supposed to be a self-demonstrating?
Also, they added political examples to it violating ROCEJ
, and we cut BlatantLies.Real Life Politics And War because of the controversy.
What should be done?
