While trying to move an example from the Literature section to the Web Original section, I somehow managed to accidentally delete everything on the page, then restored it all badly. I'm still not sure what happened, but if someone wiser than I can figure out how to reverse whatever damage I have inadvertantly done, I'd appreciate it.

Being in a Japanese-produced work is not enough of a difference to warrant its own trope.

Something was replacing hard line returns with <br />. Since that's a markup that our software doesn't use, it didn't know what to do with it so it just assumed it was text.

I grabbed the source code for the whole page, kept it open to lock out any other editors so that we didn't duplicate each other's efforts, and used a global "find and replace" in my word procesor to replace all the <br />s with a simple hard linebreak.

Were you trying to move Whateley Universe? I didn't actually move it, since I wasn't sure which was correct. It's still under Literature.

I was moving the Whately Universe example to Web Original out of Literature, yes.

Thanks for the assist. I'm still not sure precisely what it was I did wrong, there.

I know necroing is bad, but I think this one is supposed to be locked.
