!!Tropes listed in the WikiTropes index are being discussed at the Administrivia/TropeRepairShop. Click the link [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1618086045064904400&page=1#1 here]] to join the discussion.

The Drive-By Updater makes one, maybe two, edits and then disappears into oblivion. In many cases, this is a passing browser who spots an obvious mistake to fix.

[[Administrivia/TropesAreTools There is nothing inherently wrong]] with Drive-By Updaters, but only if their contributions properly follow guidelines. Since most Drive-By Updaters don't bother to stick around to learn what those guidelines are, however, the practice can be less of a joy for the regular {{Troper}}s.

After Administrivia/TheGoogleIncident anonymous edits were disabled, effectively making these contributors extinct on this wiki.
