A [[TV Tropes]] policy that does not apply here at All The Tropes. That doesn't mean that this doesn't happen here, just that it isn't a first resort.
A [[TV Tropes]] policy that does not apply here at All The Tropes. Essentially, when it became too difficult or too inconvenient for the tropers or the wiki administration to manage a bloated, unfocused or controversial example section on a page, their solution was to [[Kill It with Fire]], leaving behind only the descriptive page text plus a line to the effect of "No examples please. This only defines the term." Out of irony, perhaps, they called it [[Not a Trope|a wiki trope]].▼

In some cases the [[Example Sectionectomy]] was pre-emptive, as was the case when [[Pet Peeve Trope]] was launched. Sometimes it was retaliatory. And sometimes it was outright censorship.
