While this is one of the few areas on the wiki where outright derision of a work is permitted, there are certain standards that are expected, and limits as to how much edit warring will be tolerated before it's decided that a subsection just isn't worth keeping around.

* Horrible.WebOriginal: Suffered a ridiculous amount of edit-warring, even compared to the other SBIH pages. The last straw came when certain people started using the page as a method of flaming each other, resulting in the page being deleted, and the users in question being banned from the site.

* IAmNotMakingThisUp: Originally created for how fans react to crazy plot twists and the like, it was used as a pothole for absolutely ''anything'' that was even the ''slightest'' bit outlandish, as if it would make it read as a bit of incredibly hilarious and awesome escapism. Instead, it became a grating catchphrase (appearing on over 2,500 pages at its peak) that made Website/ThisVeryWiki look like idiots with an incredibly low threshold of disbelief. Some discussion of this incident is preserved on IAmNotMakingThisUpDiscussion. Not only were all links to it changed to be permanently red regardless of stylesheet, all instances of the phrase were automatically deleted from the wiki, leaving blank spots where it used to be. InUniverse examples were moved to NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer. Since this is ''TV'' Tropes, you don't need to say this; since even RealityIsUnrealistic, there's no reason not to believe such things happened. And it's usually better to link to the proof that you're not making it up.
