Line 16: ;"probably in 1978" :Author [[A. Bertram Chandler]] attends a match of the [[All Japan Women's Pro Wrestling]] league. If this hadn't happened, there would be no ''[[Dirty Pair]]''<ref>According to [[w:Dirty Pair\|Wikipedia]], Chandler's attendance at that match directly resulted in the creation of ''[[Dirty Pair]]''.</ref> Without ''Dirty Pair'' there would have been no ''[[Undocumented Features]]'', and thus no [[TV Tropes]] page for it maintained by [[User:Looney Toons\|Looney Toons]], and thus no notice of that page by [[User:Labster]], and thus no visit by Labster to Looney Toon's forums, and thus no discovery that other Tropers were also annoyed by the then-current state of affairs at TV Tropes, and finally no desire to [[Start My Own\|Start Our Own]]. It sounds like [[Insane Troll Logic]], but it's true. ~~:Author [[A. Bertram Chandler]] attends a match of the [[All Japan Women's Pro Wrestling]] league.

The discussion was heated, to the point that [[All The Tropes:There is No One True Way\|Part 4 of The Troper's Code]] was ignored all around - not one of the wiki's finer moments.
