* [[Why Fandom Can't Have Nice Things]]: One major reason many new guidelines were put in place during the 2010s and early 2020s, with several originating in rampant examples of [[Fan Myopia]]. A big example was the [[Internet Backdraft]] subpages, which were all wiped due to tropers consistently misusing the definition; another big [[Everyone Has Standards|and ''much less'' arguable]] example was the infamous [[Troper Tales]].
