{{cleanup|There are titles on this list that don't link to Work pages, or link to parent pages of the work, which is preventing this page from becoming [[:Category:This Index Asked You a Question|a category]]. Remember, [[All The Tropes:Works Pages Are a Free Launch|Works Pages Are a Free Launch]].}}
This is a specific type of title that poses a question to the reader. This question may relate to the [[Arc Words]] in some way, but need not. Depending on the writer, the answer may be explicitly given, implied, or left ambiguous.
See also [[Driving Question]] and [[:Category:This Index Asked You a Question]]. And as always, remember that if you [[Ask a Stupid Question]], you ''will'' [[Get a Stupid Answer]].
