Line 7:
"Lewdness" is more than just being about something sexual or potentially sexual. Here are some signs of lewd writing:
# '''Personal opinions on hotness.''' Examples should stand on their own without the introduction of YMMV material. Adding your own thoughts and feelings on an example is an opinion, same as calling an example good or bad. Don't do it. (The YMMV and Crowners subpages are places for opinions, so there's some leeway there, but we do ask that you refrain from [[Gushing About Characters You Like]] or People You Like even on those pages.) Don't try and [[Opinion Myopia|extend your feelings to a larger group of fans
# '''Overly detailed examples.''' The example doesn't need to be an exact sensory account of the event. Too much of that and you end up sounding like you're writing porn. When in doubt, drop a few adjectives.
# '''Unrelated fanservice mentions.''' If the hot bits aren't related to the example, they don't belong in the example.
Line 22:
Merely being about something sexual or potentially sexual does not mean that a work or trope page is fair game for chopping on the grounds that it's creepy or perverse. There are things to avoid.
# '''Don't gut pages or nominate them for deletion just because they're about sexual topics.''' Sex exists. It's used in media a lot. You'll just need to cope with that fact. Relationships, fanservice, and sexual activity all fall into their own tropes as a result.
## '''Don't ''ever'' nominate a work page for deletion just because the work offends you in some way.''' Especially if the work page itself isn't explicit.
# '''Don't be a [[Bluenose Bowdlerizer]].''' We're not looking to censor all sex off the wiki. If the sex and sexuality is an honest part of the work and relevant to the example, it belongs there.
# '''The wiki is not rated G.''' We aren't sanitizing the wiki for small children. Sex and sexuality (and strong/obscene language) are part of media and we aren't going to ignore them. This wiki is Family Friendly, not Unsupervised Small Child Friendly. This isn't an excuse to make work pages dirtier than the work itself, as the above No Lewdness section makes clear, but neither is it an excuse to make those pages cleaner than the work itself.
The [[All The Tropes:Contact us#All The Tropes Moderation Staff|Moderation Staff]] has had to [[All The Tropes:How We Do Bans Around Here|permanently ban]] at least one person who wasn't willing to follow this advice regarding prudishness. Please don't be the next person on that list.
