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.
I don't know, but I doubt there'd be a problem with adding examples. I thought it didn't have examples just because we were overly cautious during The Second Google Incident.

But it's not okay to make a unilateral decision about something like this, especially since the old TRS thread
for it couldn't even come to a consensus about it. They can't just ignore notes like that, not even if they seem silly.
I feel like I should delete the examples, but I should wait for moderator permission.

Waiting for moderator permission to remove something that's explicitly forbidden to add in the first place? Seems a tad over-cautious.
I'll just go ahead and delete the examples, then add "No examples please." And if they were added despite the Example Sectionectomy (and the troper adding them was presumably suspended), don't you think they would be almost immediately erased?

The examples seem to have come from the "All The Tropes" Comedic Underwear Exposure page.
^ Ah, so it's plagiarism too, then...people also need to stop trying to force TVT to act like other sites do.

Suspended them.
If the examples are plagiarized they definitely have to go, but I would like to re-evaluate the idea of having examples on that page. Based on that old TRS thread, they were unilaterally removed by Eddie, but most tropers were in favor of keeping them.
Keet cleanup
Perhaps make some sort of thread to restore examples? Has anyone done that before?

If it was a mod fiat by Eddie that was done largely in spite of everyone else disapproving I'd definitely say discussion needs opened back up on it because we've re-visited and reversed decisions that were made on those grounds before.
Especially since I can't see any valid reason to have have this marked no examples when other comedic nudity tropes are just fine.

Wasn't All The Tropes Wiki forked from us, though?
Contains 20% less fat than the leading value brand!
My understanding has always been it was started because of project dissatisfied with TVT's way of doing things.
Makes sense.
BTW, this trope is definitely safe for work. It's a Running Gag in The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure, which is rated G in the United States, for what it's worth.

You know, we should start a thread for getting examples back. So we don't further derail this query.

On September 9, Robot Sponge added examples to Comedic Underwear Exposure with no edit reason, disregarding the comment "No examples, please." Was this done with permission?
