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.

I really don't see why it matters either way? If it gets deleted from the Quotes page, it's still on the main page. If it gets deleted from the main page, the deleter should be checking if there's a copy in Quotes anyway.
I'm talking about cases where they're exactly the same. If the Quotes version adds more context or useful potholes, then we should keep both.
The idea that quotes cannot be on both pages seems to have come out of the ether. There isn't anything iirc that says it's a thing. Maybe there's an ancient Eddie fiat?
Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they pretty
Practically speaking, it's good practice, so that if the page quote gets changed, it's still on the quotes page. It just kinda looks weird for the same quote to be on both pages.
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.
I've said via PM that we have no specific rule on this point. Aesthetically, it feels redundant, but it's not something that we feel strongly enough about to issue a ruling.

Discar contacted me saying per this
, quotes shouldn't be removed from Quotes pages just because they are on the main page since there's not a rule about it. But I've seen everyone else delete quotes due to this.
Some clarification on the issue please?
