I thought I might as well request some guidelines when editing my webcomic's TV Tropes page.
Basically, I'm a man of few requests.
-No YMMV tab. Character Alignments are canonical. They're Word of God. They're part of the webcomic's setting! There's no "may vary"; the milage is set in stone. :P
-Don't remove a trope from the page just because you don't think it fits. Chances are, I can explain to you exactly *why* it fits, and will (quite angrily) be adding it back in. Now if you think it doesn't, despite me having explained why I think it does...well, rather than have an edit war, wouldn't using this page be far more efficient to talk it out? :P (Basically, if you think it doesn't fit, inquire on this discussion page. I'll tell you why it does, to me. We'll talk it out, and hopefully will eventually reach a definite conclusion.)
Other than that, I can't think of anything which is really necessary for me to set down guidelines for.

That post is to be ignored. The creator of a work has no more say on the page than anyone else. While Ranger will be able to provide the best evidence for a trope occurring, the occurrence is to be determined based on that evidence, not because Ranger said so. Also, Word of God doesn't count for Character Alignment as per that page—or for ignoring the YMMV restriction in general, for that matter. The alignments have to be referenced in the work itself in order to be listed as tropes, and all of the YMMV stuff needs to be on the appropriate page.
Edited by Ironeye I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.

Removed Midnight Blue Eyes, since that isn't a trope. If there's an appropriate trope on the Blue Eyes list, feel free to add it.

So I'm thinking about adding folders to my webcomic to divide the tropes up. After all, over half the page is made up of tropes in the first ten letters of the alphabet. M is half-way through the alphabet, and yet is two-thirds of the way down the page.
Do you think I should folder the number of tropes? And if so, what do you think the division should be?

Making folders is a free action, and this page is certainly large enough. I'd do four folders, myself: #-C, D-H, I-P, and Q-Z. Try to make them equal in size, not alphabet spacing.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

So this is something I thought I wouldn't need to say when making this page, but apparently, it's a necessity, since people don't seem to be following it.
When you edit the page, make sure you've actually read the comic. :P

This was sparked by a removal of the link to Xanatos Gambit when describing the demon's plan. As I said when editing it back in, the plan wasn't generic. I gave a link to the comic in which it was described, in great detail. Had the person who edited it out actually checked the comic out, they probably would have agreed: it's a Xanatos Gambit. The demons win no matter what they do. Argus explained exactly why doing exactly what they were doing would result in them always coming out on top.
That's not a generic plan. That's a specific type of plan, a Xanatos Gambit.
It was even called "The Gargoyle's Gambit" in-comic! That's as close as I can get to calling it out by name!

Evil Eye is no logner a trope. Is there a better trope for this?
