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

Yeah, we put that on Tropes Needing TRS for several reasons.
Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.

The page for Self-Insert Fic is soft split into three sections: "Fanfic examples", "Canonical and In-universe examples", and "Meta examples." First off, canonical examples are covered by Author Avatar. In fact many of those examples are already on the Author Avatar page. Saxon, there seems to be no difference between in-universe and meta examples. It seems to me that the third section is unnecessary.
