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.
Asking for permission is never a bad idea, but you don't need to do it if it's been idle a year (the threshold is two months). We also have a project thread
for help/advice.

What's the procedure for grabbing an old draft? I found one that I think has potential and hasn't been updated in a year. Is it good form to ask first or can I just take it?
