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

As long as this flower is in my heart. My Strength will flow without end.I added SuperlativeDubbing.Tropers to cut list on the ground of being Troper Tale.
Not a fan of cutting a page that old with minimal discussion. Though arguing and bashing people for not liking dubs has to go.
Keet cleanupI don't have much faith when I saw all of the four ego (I, me, my, this troper) without going deep down that page. If it's to stay, then we need rule update. Either allow other troper to fix gushing entry to remove first person noun, or just throw in the towel and lets people use first person noun in such entry.
I mean, why has it stuck around this long? Just because people couldn't be bothered to enforce the rules on Sugar Wiki? Or does it actually serve a purpose, besides just being a holdover?
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallActually...yeah. There's not a ton salvageable (to be moved to an appropriate subpage) there with all the arguing, though someone could make a go if they'd like. The last actual edit adding a new example was November 2018, and troper tales have been depreciated for far longer than that.
Edited by nombretomadoSo it probably is just as straightforward as nobody's enforced the rules on the page until now.
I'm fine with deleting the Tropers subpage. When I first saw this thread, I was getting Troper Tales vibes before Kuruni's first post outright compared the subpage to Troper Tales.
You can't just say "perchance".Is there anyone want to clean that page up?
I sent PM to some Tropers who make latest real addition to that page to join this discussion, but turned out that sneakyspook is bounced for ban evasion.
The one before that is nombretomado moved stuff from main page, the next is full natter by Mario And Sponge Bob Fan in March 2018, and Eggy0 in January (PM sent).
I also sent PM to MacronNotes (the creator of that page in 2012).
I didn't create the page. I split it off the main page. Wish i used edit reasons back then since I seem to get confused with being the creator of certain pages a lot now
Edited by MacronNotes Macron's notesHuh. I never thought my entry was natter? I thought I was simply listing a good dub like everyone else after stumbling upon the page...
Can the entry be saved from being natter or does it have no chance? If the former I'd be more than happy to get it sorted via PMs to try and write a better entry. I never intended to go full natter and never realized I wrote natter during the many months following it until I got a PM and saw the mention above.
Edited by Eggy0What's even the point of having it as anything else than "No Examples, Please" type of deal? I mean the entire trope.
There is handful of almost Flame War-tier tropes like Superlative Dubbing, eventually sorted out by simply removing examples from the page itself and then, since it's Sugar Wiki and thus YMMV, just applying to YMMV of each work itself. The result is extremely decentralised list of related works, which means each fandom sorts this among themselves (and in most cases, won't bother arguing in the first place) rather than creating a big-ass catalogue that's just asking for arguing and random people just barging into it out of the blue, too.
Edited by Dratewka@Eggy 0: It's Mario And Sponge Bob Fan who added natter, not you.
IMO, if something on that Tropers page can be save, whoever want to do it has to 1.) remove all ego-insertion, 2.) remove all conversation, and 3.) move what's left to other by-language subpages. The Tropers page serve no purpose.
Edited by KuruniYeah, can we not just cut the page, Septimus? It really isn't a page worth going through the effort to fix. It's Troper Tales-lite.

Lots of arguing examples, bashing people for not liking the dub, and the whole TROPER SECTION. I think something must be done about this.
