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

They misspelled Example Sectionectomy. And... well, it's not well enforced, but in theory, the rule is that No Examples, Please means no examples anywhere on the wiki.
Edited by wingedcatgirl Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.
That rule has been up for debate since its inception, which is why I created a Wiki Talk thread
. Some works have been added to the list with the intent that they not collect on-page examples, some added so they aren't wicked on work pages, and some added because we didn't want examples anywhere.
No, Example Sectionectomy does allow examples on YMMV pages; only Flame Bait doesn't allow examples anywhere. Revert those.

Base-Breaking Character is permitted to have off-page examples, but none on-page.
Contains 20% less fat than the leading value brand!
So just to be clear, Audience Reaction "tropes" are cool on YMMV as long as they don't Flame Bait?
Example Sectionectomy is for ubiquitous tropes, too. My understanding is that it means we don't aggregate entries from across the website, but it can still be used as needed on individual works pages.
It wouldn't make much sense for Audience Reaction tropes not to be allowed on YMMV. That's kind of what they're for, isn't it?

I'm seeing Thepenguinking 2 cut Internet Backdraft from YMMV pages with the edit reason that Internet Backdraft is Example Sectionomony and shouldn't be added to YMMV.
I'm somewhat confused by this, because for one, Example Sectionomony is not a page that exists, and two, I've never seen Internet Backdraft outside of YMMV pages. Can someone explain what I'm missing here?
