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.
Threw that Timeline page on the Cut List.
They seem to have a problem with poorly-written examples as well. Here are some they added to Funny.Yo Gabba Gabba:
- The episode title card features Muno, Brobee, Toodee and Foofa are small like bugs
- The jingle "Bugs Are A Curious Fellow" which features bugs running and playing on a white background.
- The jingle "Birthday Song" was animated by CUPCO!, a famous animator and illustrator best known for his adult work and his children’s work.
- The jingle "Everybody Has a Talent" which like "Listen" was animated by Lori D
- The jingle "Balloon Ride" which was done by Heisuke Kitzawa was absolutely hilarious because of the hot air balloon showing a face and other balloons do.
- The song "Let's Fly" features Brobee dancing with birds.
And they misused Shout-Out on Trivia.Peppa Pig by seemingly confusing it with Referenced by...:
- [1]: a show called [[Cocoland]] as described by Rodney Alan Greenbalt where it is a combination.
They also created Trivia.Fluffy Gardens, which has some poor writing as well:
- The show is compared to [[Thomas The Tank Engine and Friends]] according to Jason Tammemagi, the show's creator, writer and director.
- The line "Where is that Music Coming from?" is from a deleted scene in [[Ask the Story Bots]] where Hap hears Jazz music.
- Lots of cultural references.
They also changed an example
on Heartwarming.Yo Gabba Gabba for some reason.
Overall, this troper seem to focus on shows for young children, clearly has grammar problems and seems to be confused about a variety of things about the wiki in general.

Yes, I noticed those other issues before, but wasn't sure if the grammar was bad enough to send a notifier.
Focusing on shows for young children isn't inherently bad, of course, but they probably should be notified of ZCE's and grammar issues.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
I have noticed that tropers who mostly focus on kid's shows stuff tend to cause problems, but that might be Negativity Bias speaking. It's not a problem in and of itself of course, but it might indicate immaturity or general young age.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure Pureness
Suspended, this will need some cleanup.

LT White seems to be a new troper who has some issues using the site. For starters, they've twice now made low-effort works pages on the TLP (one
was discarded a few days ago, yet they just made another
with just as low quality).
The second issue, which I don't know how to address, is their misuse of the Timeline namespace for Timeline.Yo Gabba Gabba. Rather than describe the timeline of in-universe events, it hastily discusses the timeline of the show's airing schedule.
