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.
I would ask here

I feel like it might be worth discussion more in the Real Life Section Maintenance thread, no? (I actually posted about it there at first before deciding this thread needed more discussion first.) I agree with the OP that the overall tone of the examples seems fairly neutral; it's more a question of whether this is one particular set of examples that are safer not on the wiki as a point of principle.
...Though I have to admit, I laughed pretty hard at the example about "the aptly-named Alex Malarkey."

Can we please stop abbreviating Role-Ending Misdemeanor? When I see REM, I think of the band (which has ironically never been subject to the trope).
@Septimus I will bring it up there.
@B Kelly REM stands for several things, I was talking about a trope here, not the band.
To be fair, I'm seeing a lot of historical examples - they predate Walt Disney's existence even. If they are historical examples, they could count, right?
To win, you need to adapt, and to adapt, you need to be able to laugh away all the restraints. Everything holding you back.
The Other page for Role-Ending Misdemeanor has a Religion folder, created last year by
Scoutstr295. From what I could see, the section is mostly about fundamentalist scandals, but is relatively neutral and has no agenda-based writing, but I'm wondering if it's really needed? I remember earlier the Politics section of REM was deleted for being a blatant Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment violation, which religion could also prove to be. Scoutstr also appears to be the person with the most edits on the section, as I was only able to find one edit from someone on the section that wasn't them.
