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.
One uses this thread
to discuss additions.
The thread linked above concerns Administrivia.No Real Life Examples Please (NRLEP).
OP asks about Administrivia.Rule Of Cautious Editing Judgment (ROCEJ).
Recently, it's been decided that links to Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment in trope descriptions, work descriptions or example contexts are distracting and word-cruft-y — because cautious editing should be a matter of course. There was an effort to remove the links from the wiki. ...but I can't remember the forum thread where it was talked about. Sorry I can't post a link to it.
So... no one should be adding links to ROCEJ to articles. Hope this helps. (And I hope it's accurate).

Why don't we have a note on the ROCEJ page telling people not to add it into trope and work descriptions? That might help with the cleanup effort.

"Don't wick to this page in trope descriptions or examples. The rule already states that tropers are editing cautiously by default — we don't need to be reminded of it every time we discuss anything possibly contentious."
How's that?
Edited by wingedcatgirl Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.
Sounds good. You're gonna need to suggest it to the edit requests thread as the ROCEJ page is locked. I recommend mentioning this thread when making the suggestion so that the mods know why you're suggesting the edit.
Can only mods add ROCEJ to articles or can anyone add ROCEJ to articles?
