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.

Titling a work page with a special character Music
I want to make a work page for this musician I like, but I'm not sure how to go about it. His stage name is μ-Ziq, and I was thinking I could make the Wiki Word "MuZiq" and have the page title be μ-Ziq, or would it be preferred if both were Mu-Ziq to avoid possible compatibility issues? Wikipedia has him under his real name (Mike Paradinas
), so that could be an option too.
Anyone else not like paramore? Music
I hate Paramores music and Haley willams is annoying to me. Their early stuff is too edgy and their newer stuff is even worse! I’m a former emo and former goth and I never liked paramore!!!
Music Characters? Music
I would like to ask if Character page is allowed to be created for idol groups? I noticed how Twice from Korean Pop Music have a character page, but the artist aren't characters, so I am curious.
Reporting a troper Music
AreYouTyler appears to be a sockpuppet of BigBertha, who was banned in 2016 for repeatedly misattributing a song & using a fanfic of all things as a justification. It took me years to make the connection, but their recent edit to L–Z confirms that it’s the same person.
Textless Album Cover Music
The intro matter for Textless Album Cover was entirely deleted. It appears that another troper put it back, then it was deleted again.
Here is the intro/definition that was deleted from the page:
Album covers typically have two elements to them: text to tell the consumer the name of the artist and the album, and artwork to catch the consumer's eye. A number of albums, however, lack text on the cover. This could be for a number of reasons: artists may want the audience to focus on the artwork, or they may be trying to de-emphasize their name, or they may be trying to catch attention through minimalism. Whatever the reason, a Textless Album Cover is an album cover lacking text at least on the front cover, and possibly also the sides and back cover.
See also Minimalistic Cover Art, a style of artwork that often accompany albums without cover text.

Duplicate trope? Music
Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly and GenreMashup.Music have the same image, and I'm not sure what the difference between them is. This TRS thread from 2016 suggests Genre Mashup was created as a more general trope for Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly (combining existing genres together) to clear up the misuse of Genre-Busting (when a work fits into no genre). This doesn't seem to have completely worked: Haruhi Suzumiya is on both pages with the exact same description.
Should We Re-create Ariana Grande's YMMV Tab? Music
Her YMMV tab was removed for being for a "Creator" page, but she's been moved to music. And singers like Lady Gaga have a YMMV tab! Should we remake it?
Do interviews count as real life examples? Music
I noticed that a lot of TearJerker.Music pages list real-life events (mostly artist deaths) in violation of Tear Jerker's No Real Life Examples, Please! rule. On some pages. On TearJerker.Avenged Sevenfold, I removed an example about The Rev's death, but I noticed a couple of examples about other band members being interviewed afterwards. I think they be removed should since they're troping real life, but I'd still like to confirm.

Amen Break? Music
Here are a couple things I've noticed with the page Amen Break:
- The page consists almost entirely of zero-context examples. One of the examples listed is "DE-SIRE alternative - "Trip Machine PhoeniX", which doesn't explain how or where the amen break is used in the song.
- It might not be in the correct namespace. Generally, lists of every appearance of a song go in the Music/ namespace. Examples: Ode to Joy, Pachelbel's Canon, Ride of the Valkyries, The Cancan Song. Should we move Amen Break to the Music/ namespace, or is it fine in the Main/ namespace?
Formatting question Music
Does punctuation go inside external links, or outside them? Asking because on The Protomen there's a period inside a link.
Three Days Grace main page cover image Music
Three Days Grace has an image showing the old, pre-2013 lineup of the band (before they changed lead vocalist). Can I go ahead and add an image of their new lineup, keeping the old image in a /note ? Should I ask permission from somewhere else?
Music/VaadatCharigim - Translation help for Hebrew song titles Music
Hi, if there are any Hebrew speaking Tropers who catch this, can you check the machine translations of the two song titles in the Vaadat Charigim article?
"Lehitorer Velo Lada'at" = "To the Police and to the Witness" ? "Ein Nehama Ladoachim" = "There is no Consolation for the Oppressors" ?
Thanks.
How do I get this user properly reported? Music
The article for Sophie was vandalized a few hours ago by this troper named weissman88, and going through their edit history, they specifically target any articles with LGBTQ content, including editing in dead names and improper pronouns for both characters and real people, and deleting some content altogether. Is there a more direct way to report this other than Contact Us, or is that the best option?

I'm searching for a remix of "MEGALOVANIA" Music
As far as I remember, it starts with a piano performance, then shifts to electric sounds. Do you know where I can listen to it?
Awesome/KanyeWest Music
I had to clean up the examples involving Kanye’s political views, but other tropers keep adding it back. I’ll admit I added some myself, but since it’s causing edit warring, I deleted the examples altogether. Should there be a mod warning to prevent any more politics-related examples from betting added back.

Troping Music Videos Music
Should tropes that occur in music videos (but not the song itself) still be listed in the Music section of a trope page?
A page that vaguely describes a band or musician, with the answers set as spoilers. Music
Pretty much what the title says: the page is a big one full of such descriptions, and you can check to see if your guess was correct by opening the spoiler which tops each section off.
EDIT: I'm searching for this; probably should've made that clear oops

Why is this locked? Music
The Lonely Island: Tried to add an example to that page and to crosswick to an obscure trope, but cannot do it. Why?

Is what I found Creator Bashing? Music
In the trivia section of the article on Tim Buckley (the late singer), he gets outright called a Jerkass. He's dead, so he's not going to read it, but I still feel like it's too personally insulting for this site. I feel like I should cut it, but I thought I'd ask you first.
Reporting a troper Music
ryanisbetter repeatedly insists on listing Lorde as an example of Two-Hit Wonder, ignoring the fact that Madrugada officially ruled against this.
Can my page be moved to the "Creators" namespace...? Music
Um okay, so a while ago somebody made a page on me: TurretBot
Which is fine, keep the page, I don't care. I don't want to disrespect The Fic May Be Yours, But The Trope Page Is Ours, I only did one edit to correct a few factual errors, that's it, and I don't plan to edit the page for any more than that... But I want the namespace changed. The page is currently under "Music", and it should be under "Creators".
"Turret Bot" is NOT a work. That's just my username. And, I do things other than music (the page conveniently leaves out my non-music stuff, but I can post links if you want proof). For all that, I believe the page should really be moved to "Creators"...
So can someone please move the page to Turret Bot for me? Since the page is about me, I feel like moving it myself would be crossing the line, I don't want to get in trouble or anything. Ok that's all. Thanks in advance...
I'm a Newcomer Music
I'd like to learn more about how to write pages for TV Tropes. I'd like to write/add to pages in music categories mostly.
Inter-album Continuity Nod Music
If an album contains an allusion to a song from one of the artist's previous albums, is that a Continuity Nod or a Mythology Gag?
