(revised wording of "don't flood the workshop", and removed parenthetical that stopped being relevant 18 months ago)
Line 29:
Over the years, the Workshop has evolved a few rules specific to it, debated and voted on by the Wiki community. These are:
 
# '''Don't flood the Workshop.''' Per [https://allthetropes.org/wiki/Topic:W46bjdu3aoeoyg7a this discussion], nobody is allowed to have made the edit that created more than three candidates in the Trope Workshop at any given time. (Trope candidates that existed as of February 26, 2021 are allowed to stay in the Trope Workshop until accepted, merged with existing tropes, or deleted.) There can be more than three Tropes in the Workshop at once - it's just that each Troper is only allowed to have at most three at a time ([[Alice and Bob|three from Alice, three from Bob]], and so on).
# '''Tropes that don't get worked on will be deleted.''' Per [https://allthetropes.org/wiki/Topic:Wthr5hipuj3v5snc this discussion], trope candidates must be actively worked on, or they run the risk of deletion. "Actively worked on" means tropers are editing ''the candidate'' to improve it and render it suitable for launch. Comments made in the talk page about ''how'' to improve (or save) the page are ''not'' working on the candidate; they are chatter that does not affect its state. Only actual edits to the candidate itself count as working on it.
::If a candidate sits untouched for six months or more, it is considered to be ''abandoned''. "Untouched" means no editing activity. (At their discretion, ATT staff may choose to ignore trivial changes made in that time -- "trivial" in this context being, for example, edits along the line of adding a single link or fixing the grammar of a single sentence or paragraph. This is to discount "token" edits whose only purpose is to forestall "abandoned" status.)
