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.
It's fine to link to a character page if it's a page under the Comic Book/ namespace.
At least until we actually revamp the pages/policies. It's a big ask to do that.
Link to TRS threads in project mode here.Any preference implies a policy, and we don't have consensus to a specific interpretation of policy, so consensus would have to be made on a page-by-page basis. If someone disputes your organization, then PM them about it.
Link to TRS threads in project mode here.Every time we try to establish a policy, people argue for exceptions to it and the whole thing falls apart.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"As far as I know, comics and cartoons are the only place where we have this problem. Nobody is trying to make a Jethro Gibbs page split off from NCIS.

I think that, for the time being, I'm going with the formatting as in the original post; (Since it's fairly easy to read) but add the links to these "Extra-Franchise" characters. Theory is:
- If the discussion is resolved in the future against such pages, at least the references will be easy to find
- If a decision is made in favor of such pages, no matter what form or namespace they end up in, unlinked references will be a serious pain to track down.

I've got several characters with similar situations, but lets focus on ComicBook.Hellcat
She's a Cat Girl, and as such, deserves to be on the Cat Girl trope page, but:
How should she be entered? I know that trope pages are not supposed to link directly to Character pages...
Should this block be alphabetized as "Hellcat"? Should each bullet be listed alphabetized under the work title? Should all of them just be thrown under a "Marvel Comics" bullet, along with several other characters, including Tigra and Black Cat?
