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.
Any advice on what forum thread would be appropriate for me to take this question?
If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.
Trope misuse regarding RWBY? Surprise, surprise. Looks like another lock is needed in my opinion.
We don't seem to have a dedicated cleanup thread for Ship Tease. I'd try asking for help in the Trope Misuse Cleanup in General thread.
Ehhh, I think it should only be locked if misuse is still added post-cleanup, or if people repeatedly try to revert the edits.

I've also seen some misuse of Ship Tease on Star vs. the Forces of Evil and Voltron: Legendary Defender.
Yeah, I'm just looking to clean the page first (and then see if the sub-page needs to exist once the clean-up has been done). I wouldn't go for a lock before a clean-up has even been attempted.
Thanks for the pointer, Karxrida, I'll take the query there. I wouldn't be surprised if the trope needs a wider clean up than just this work, especially with the Ho Yay clean-up that's been going on, but I haven't looked more widely at this point. It may be that the suggested general thread is worth using until we know whether a wider clean-up requires a separate thread.

Is there a Ship Tease clean-up thread? I think this Web Original sub-page (ShipTease.RWBY) is heavily misusing the trope. The page is treating the trope like it's a YMMV Moments trope or a het version of Ho Yay, where everything the fandom can interpret as Ship Tease is being recorded. Part of the problem is that the page came into existence when one ship was moved from the Ho Yay page to the Ship Tease trope after it became clear that one of the ships has genuine tease in the show. However, it was never cleaned up to separate YMMV from genuine tease, and the sub-page has only grown since then.
Given the amount of entries, I'm not sure where to take it for clean-up. Some of it will need to be kept as genuine examples of the trope; really, the page just needs to be reduced down to a paragraph per ship, like other works do.
