Shall I take the lack of response as permission to go ahead?

OK; but please don't just add a paragraph or so. Make it fit into the existing flow of text.

I was thinking that the part about works portraying real events would be a good place to fit this in, so I'll expand that part.
I remember seeing a few cases in the past where people have wondered whether reality TV shows should be allowed to have No Real Life Examples, Please! tropes listed on their pages. And correct me if I'm wrong, but I also believe that the official judgment from the moderation team was that reality TV shows are scripted enough to not actually count as real life, so these tropes should be allowed so long as they're limited to troping what actually happens in the show.
Shouldn't this rule be mentioned on the NRLEP page? The page isn't locked so I could add it myself, but I think the reason for that is so people can add tropes to the list rather than for them to edit the description, so I'd like to ask if that's OK first.
