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.
While the whole business is completely trivial and not worth spending time on, I see no reason to keep the redirects.

The Darth Wiki and Sugar Wiki redirects were already cut, if that matters. The only ones left should be Just for Fun redirects.
You can't always get what you want.
I think the pin, badge, and stamp should be kept, since people can still state their membership on their troper page.
Keet cleanup
The unused redirects should probably stay as people might still search for the concepts. Inbounds do not count search engine hits and there has been no rationale for deletion anyway.

^ I still believe their usefulness is limited — if someone encounters a term like CHOPSTICKS outside of the main The Archive of Bellicose Lexicon Entities page, it's almost certainly linked there anyway. However, you have a point about the lack of deletion rationale — even if the redirects aren't too useful, keeping the Just for Fun ones isn't really doing any harm (a Sugar Wiki redirect somehow survived, but it has been cutlisted).
^^ I disagree that the pin, badge, and stamp should be kept. People can still state their membership on their troper page if we delete them, and I think keeping SPOON Stamp even though the main SPOON page was deleted makes no sense. If we decide to preserve the idea of pins/badges/stamps for nostalgia's sake, I propose mentioning them on the main TABLE page and deleting the individual pages.
Edit: Seems like the mods chose to spare the Just for Fun redirects. I don't really disagree with that decision — while I cutlisted them after reading Fighteer's post, I've changed my mind and am now neutral-to-negative about deleting them. I still don't see why SugarWiki.People Letting All Trope Titles Exist Relishably was spared, though.

Is it okay to cutlist the unused redirects to The Archive of Bellicose Lexicon Entities? How about the rest — all of them have pretty few wicks? Should we also get rid of PLATTER Pin, Fo RK Badge and SPOON Stamp? After all, TABLE was discontinued a long time ago and is not coming back.
