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.
These corrections are usually fine to make, since you're causing the wiki to comply with policies. If the user changes them back, then it's a problem. You could also politely PM them to remind them of the rules.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Executive Meddling seems like past tense would be the right way to go. You're not describing events in a work, you're describing something that happened.
As for the second, unless you've already reverted the troper once before, such misuse is flat out incorrect and should be fixed. If they keep doing it, report them.
Edited by TheRoguePenguin^ The Rogue Penguin — For the first: Ah, that makes sense, so I'll leave that alone. For the second: No, I haven't reverted that troper's mistake yet. However, it is true that Adding Multiple Tropes With a Slash is not kosher, based on Administrivia.How To Write An Example. Should I revert it and keep an eye on that character page?

1) So according to Administrivia.How To Write An Example, "descriptions of events in an example should usually be written in present tense." The troper PF
changed the wordings of some tropes from present tense to past tense; for example, in the Executive Meddling Anime page
, he changed the sentence "Masashi Kishimoto reveals that" to "Masashi Kishimoto revealed that".
2) Also from Administrivia.How To Write An Example, the troper Rich4
has an issue with Adding Multiple Tropes With A Slash, particularly on the Naruto Hokages Character page
. Take a look at how, under the "General" folder and "First Hokage - Hashirama Senju" folder, they added "World's Best Warrior / World's Strongest Man".
I think that these are very minor offenses. So, personally, I want to fix these mistakes myself, because they're both such fixable edits, but I fear that if I correct these, I'd be causing an Edit War. Would I be causing an Edit War if I correct these examples? Any advice on what to do?
