All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXI

[Bob Schroeck]

In case anybody is wondering why we have a Community Portal where we list things that need to be fixed, instead of just watching the films/shows/cartoons / reading the books/comics and doing the fixes ourselves, I've added this to the top of the Community Portal.

So, no, we cannot go and read or watch it ourselves - life is literally too short for that to be possible. We must rely on people reading and acting on these lists in order to alert people who are already familiar with the works in question that there's an issue.

Bravo.
