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.
If nothing else, the page should not talk about individual users who edit the site.
Also, I wanted to see what all is on the wiki, but the website is "experiencing technical difficulties" at the moment. Is it only temporarily down, or should it be considered lost media? And it's worth noting that our page about the wiki hasn't had content added to it since 2015.

A quick search through the Wayback machine suggests it's been on the fritz for quite sometime since some of the captures aren't working properly; however, it does look like we can verify at least some content from April 2020 and earlier.
Upon actual inspection of the website itself, it does seem like the trope page just needs some housekeeping to keep out of the danger zone, and maybe reorganizing content into sub-works to stay kosher afterwards. There's a similar issue with Fantendo based on my understanding of the cleanup, with the tropes for a few different works dumped messily onto one website page.

A recent ATT reminded me that we have a page for Club Penguin Fanon. As with some other fanon wikis that have been around for long enough, it seems to blur the line between "wiki used for hosting tropable creations" (i.e. the likes of the SCP Foundation; kosher provided there isn't a better place to organize things) and "wiki used for rounding up fan ideas" (it is in the name, after all; not kosher per mod posts in the Websites Cleanup.)
Indeed, from what's been put on the tropes page, it seems like some of the content falls under rule #4 of the cleanup (content on the site is probably tropable, but it's likely better to have it filed separately under other namespaces), while others are scattered enough that it circles back around to a non-kosher collection of fan ideas.
I tried posting in the Websites Cleanup long ago to get a second opinion, but failed to obtain a proper verdict, so I'm taking it here to get it worked out.
