;Some point between July 8 and July 17, 2012
:TVT abruptly and without warning changes its licensing from the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported License to the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.<ref>This is probably illegal as such a license change requires the approval of ''all'' contributors ahead of time, something the TVT staff did ''not'' get. At the very least it leaves TVT's copyright status in a legally dubious state.</ref>
;Early November 2013
:In response to increasingly annoying questions by wiki members about their copyrights, TVT administrator/moderator Fighteer inserts language into the "Welcome to TV Tropes" page explicitly and unilaterally seizing all copyrights from contributors without their consent<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20140122054355/http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Administrivia/WelcomeToTVTropes Wayback Machine copy of "Welcome to TV Tropes" page, 22 January 2014]; see the final section, "Your Rights (Legal Stuff)".</ref>, thinking in [[Artistic License Law|his adorable childish

:The new owners of TVT actually consult a lawyer about the illegal rights seizure implemented by Fighteer, discover the legal hole they've been in for a year and a half, and reverse course on user copyrights so dramatically that they leave skidmarks.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20150326011500/http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Administrivia/WelcomeToTVTropes Wayback Machine copy of "Welcome to TV Tropes" page, 26 March 2015].</ref>

;Late August 2018
:Our benevolent overlords at Miraheze implement a limited version of [[Special:Analytics|Matomo Analytics]], allowing us for the first time to see a crude representation of inbound links to the wiki. The [[All The Tropes:Weirdest Inbound Link of the Day|"Weirdest Inbound Link of the Day" page]] is re-established.
;October 16, 2019
:In response to increasingly toxic behavior on the parts of single-issue editors (and, unfortunately, a wiki admin), the trope [[Complete Monster]] is locked and subjected to an [[Example Sectionectomy]], then converted to a Useful Note. The admin in question leaves the wiki in a huff and, with the blessing of the other members of the admin staff, [[Start My Own|starts his own wiki]], where he insults and libels the admins who didn't agree with his obviously superior vision and voted against him.
;December 13, 2020
:In response to anonymous users flooding the wiki with low-quality edits over the previous several weeks, a policy change was proposed, debated and implemented on the [[All The Tropes talk:Literary Criticism|Literary Criticism]] page acknowledging that anonymous editing of the wiki was a privilege and not a right, and could be disabled on a temporary or permanent basis if the situation warranted it.
;January 15, 2020
:After the anonymous users ''continued'' inserting low-quality edits despite repeated tempbans and repeated attempts by admins to communicate with them, the new clause on the Literary Criticism page was invoked, and anonymous editing was suspended for a period of one month.
