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.
As most of these shows are non-fiction: that is, they are reviews, commentary, debate, etc. of real life topics without any kayfabe or other attempt to construct fictional personas for the participants, they are treated as Real Life and we may not apply any subjective tropes or audience reactions to those participants, period.
Trivia can be applied to creators; we do it all the time, but it needs to be relevant to their work. Non-fiction works can also have trivia, with the same caveats.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
Understood.
In that case, I'll go ahead and cut some of the things that trope real life people as if they were fictional characters such as The Scrappy, Replacement Scrappy and Berserk Button.
Oh and one more thing. Since Manipulative Bastard doesn't apply to real life examples, should I use the cleanup thread or cut the entry altogether?

Hello. I have a question about editing the pages about Rooster Teeth and its divisions. On the main pages, character pages and YMMV pages, I've discovered that some of the hosts, including Michael and Lindsay Jones, are listed under tropes such as Berserk Button when they're actually real life people. For example, in the YMMV.Screw Attack page, Destin is listed under Replacement Scrappy, a NRLEP trope.
I've also discovered that there are trivia pages for the RT divisions. As we all know, creators don't get trivia pages.
I'm a little concerned about removing NRLEP tropes from the pages per the Creator Page Guidelines, since we only trope what's happened in works. What shall I do?
