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.
This sounds like it would just be troping internet drama and real people's behavior, which is frowned upon at best. But it would probably go under Web Original.

Something else I've been wondering is how censored should the page be when referring to offensive events or names (including the n-word and other stuff)?
Yeah this is sounding more and more like something that just shouldn't be on the wiki period.

If it has special video game tropes outside Minecraft (think Hypixel), then it can have a page on this wiki. But if it's just to trope real people behavior, then there shouldn't be a page.
After reading about the server, maybe it's too controversial for a page? Okay, we have a page from 4chan, so a page may be okay, but it has to be supervised carefully.

How long will it takes for the message that "WebOriginal/" is depreciated as a namespace to stick?
The fitting namespace is "Website/". As mentioned above, whether it is justified as a TV Tropes page is arguable.
I think the general rule for such media is that it has to be recorded somewhere so non-participants can see it. If it can't be viewed or read, it shouldn't be troped.
^ The fact that they don't announce it via bulletins doesn't help.
FitMC has compiled a vast series of videos going into detail the history of 2b2t. However, everything recorded technically falls under "players in the game might be this trope under [X], [Y], and/or [Z] circumstances," which is a no-no on this wiki.
"If you spent as much time fightin' as ye did hidin', maybe this wouldn't have happened!"
Yeah, if there's any unique game tropes, we may be able to make a page for it. But if the only unique part is what the players do...no.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure Pureness
with the amount of popularity Fit MC's 2b2t videos have gotten, I'm thinking that it should at least be considered.
Again, popularity is not the thing that makes a work.
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.
Having heard a little about 2b2t... it is an interesting thing, the way it's developed. For example: the use of hack tools to get perfect enchanted gear has made players borderline invincible and made normal PvP obsolete, so instead players do PvP with end crystals. Really, it's fascinating in a "I like hearing about this but never want to be a part of it" sort of way.
Point is, I think it's a unique enough premise to deserve its own page separate from Minecraft.
...as for whether it's good with our site's content policies...
I believe that 2b2t deserves a place on TV Tropes as a Useful Notes page. It has essentially evolved into a virtual country, and there are numerous Creators on Youtube like Fit MC, Sal C 1 and others producing content documenting the history of the server that is incredibly rich fodder for tropes and deserves to be recorded here as a part of our culture.

Does it really need a Useful Notes page if the only media referring to it is the media documenting it?
A smile better suits a hero
It is not "incredibly rich fodder for tropes" because TV Tropes is not about documenting the things that real people do. And do we really need a useful notes page documenting and publicizing a server where you can get doxxed if the people there don't like you?
Also, can we get a mod to lock this thread?

The Minecraft server known as 2b2t (or 2 Builders 2 Tools), or as some call it, the oldest anarchy server in Minecraft, has a huge depth in history that started nearly a decade ago. Does this deserve to have its own page and if so, does it become VideoGame/2b2t, Main/2b2t, or Minecraft/2b2t?
