Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
If they're not an outright vandal then they're clearly mistaken as to the purpose of this site.
Yeah that needs to be reverted.
His previous edits SEEM to be real things that happen in the works, but he's definitely got a... very specific reason for editing. I'd suggest he take his wants elsewhere for that, rather than putting provably untrue things onto trope pages.

Yeah, if the information is completely false, it needs to be removed and the troper in question needs to be P Med.
I also agree their edits might need to be reverted.
He/His/Him. No matter who you are, always Be Yourself.
After checking the gameplay, I could sort of see how one could confuse the Zero suit segment of the game (which is very stealth oriented) as a prison, but she never gets captured, she just sneaks into and around the Space Pirate Mothership.
If I had to give a more charitable guess, he may be misremembering a game he played a good while ago and "spiced it up" over that period of time, and decided to edit the page without bothering to double check.
Or he could just be spilling his fetish fuel everywhere.
Either way, his edits should probably be checked over and his zero mission ones can definitely go.
"Grandmaster Combat, son!"
I can't remember; do mods have a revert button?
EDIT: Reverted it manually anyway and linked back to this thread in the edit reason

I don't know if they have a button, but they definitely have a function where they can restore a page to a previous state. It always shows up as a system edit, with "moderator restored to previous version".
Edit: Which in all honesty I would presume would take the form of a button...

As somebody who's experienced in the Metroid game series, Samus is never captured in Zero Mission. Her ship is shot down by Space Pirates which damages her Power Suit rendering it inoperable, so Samus takes an emergency pistol from her crashed gunship and hides from the Space Pirate scouts.
When the coast is clear, Samus trails behind the scouts to locate the Pirate Mothership. Samus manages to find the entrance to some Chozo ruins from the Mothership where she gets her Power Suit repaired and fully upgraded.
I'm just providing the proper information for this matter.

I thought about sending them a natterfier, but there doesn't seem to be an option for "the information you added is clearly wrong".
I've messaged them with a link to this ATT just in case, though.

^You can send a blank one or just a PM.
I’d almost think they have a case of Mandela effect going on with them. Besides, Samus in cuffs? She’s not locked in there with the pirates. They’re locked in there with her!
^It could be that, or it could be just that they thought adding their personal fantasies as facts to the work pages was a good idea. Some tropers do that, for some reason.
There’s an old Metroid game-book that actually features this scenario. So I believe this to be a case of false attribution.
^Based on that, I think kawaiineko is correct in assuming that this is a result of the Mandela Effect and not malice.
That said, as Bisected pointed out, this user has a history of writing examples related to being tied up or handcuffed, so this isn't a one-off thing.
Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.
I said upthread that this specific example may be a Mandela Effect type deal too, though as GastonRabbit says, and also noted above, this user definitely has a habit even if it's not strictly actionable by itself.
and Satoshi is correct, said Gamebook
does exist, although it's Japan only (it has been translated unofficially, although said translation was not released until Christmas 2018, which coincidentally is around the same time our user here started doing his thing).
We do have a page for that gamebook too, btw
The user DOBLEDEDO made some edits to Metroid: Zero Mission claiming that Samus is captured (and handcuffed) in a sequence near the end, where she loses her Power Suit.
Aside from being untrue as far as I can tell (the cutscene shows her ship crashing, and she begins outside the enemy ship next to her own wrecked ship; I haven't found any sort of supplemental material which contradicts this)...the user's edit history has a strange theme
.
EDIT: They've made a second edit, talking about a "prison level", which definitely doesn't exist.
That is to say, every single edit they've made (which granted is only about a dozen, back in 2018 until this one four years later) is about a female character being captured and restrained (which, if that's their thing, fair enough; but there's a time and a place).
