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.
Gushing About Shows You Like, kiiiinda. It says at the top that gushing is forbidden on the main wiki.
Not sure offhand if there's an actual policy page that addresses it.
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.
Alright, thanks. That should be good enough.
A policy page wouldn't be a bad idea, but gushing is much less risky (and arguably less prevalent) than complaining, which might be why it's not as enforced. The policy page for complaining only mentions Gushing as a counterpart to Complaining, not explicitly saying it's frowned upon.
Edited by mightymewtron I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
I understand that troping a work is often in its own way a form of gushing, although perhaps there's a place in the editing guidelines about maintaining a certain tone.
Maybe there should be an Administrivia.Gushing About Shows You Like page, with SugarWiki.Gushing About Shows You Like covering the subject itself while the Administrivia page covers why it's forbidden on non-SugarWiki pages.
Edit: I posted about it in the Outdated Pages thread
.
I toned down some of the gushing on the pages we discussed this week.
There is a clean-up thread for removing gushing from the wiki in the Long-Term Projects forum.
Removing Gushing from the Wiki
I'm curious, is there a specific Administrivia rule of thumb we can cite to cut down on gushing, or at least the kind that could potentially lead to edits of low quality?
I see an entry on Final Fantasy XV that needs to be dealt with for classification issues (character trope in the work page), but the tone and edit reason
are also explicit gushing, and I'd like to point to something more formal in the event that it takes something like that to correct it.
