While I understand there's a lot of legitimate grievances against Wikia (honestly, I share many of those myself), the current state of the page makes Wikia seem one-sidedly irredeemable. I feel like there could (and should) be a way to dial back the excessive criticism of Wikia in a way that touches on their badly regarded policies without seeming like the product of a grudge, while not entertaining censorship in any form. --[[User:Umbire the Phantom|Umbire the Phantom]] ([[User talk:Umbire the Phantom|talk]]) 01:07, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
:Perhaps it would help if the people who added these tropes explained ''why'' they apply to Wikia: [[Awesome Personnel Carrier]], [[Law of Wiki Expansion]], [[Locked Pages]], [[Rule of Cautious Editing Judgement]], [[Vitalizing Edit]], [[Wiki Magic]], [[Wiki Curator]], [[Wiki Vandal]]. If those tropes are named without explanation, but the bit about [[Uncyclopedia]] being [[Screwed by the Network]] is properly explained, it does look as if the [[Screwed by the Network]] trope is being given more weight... but the answer is to expand the others, not remove the info from the entries which are properly presented in context. Unfortunately, I can't make that change as I have no idea what the context of these tropes on Wikia may be or why they were added to the article.

::[[Locked Pages]] shouldn't be on the list at all - it's an ATT-internal page, and by its very nature cannot apply to anything other than All The Tropes. Similarly, [[All The Tropes:Strong Language Usage Rules]] is one of our sort-of-but-not-really-policy pages, and we don't set the rules for Wikia. I'll hang a cleanup tag on the page, giving a summary of what's been posted here so far. --[[User:Robkelk|Robkelk]] ([[User talk:Robkelk|talk]]) 16:04, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
