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.
Yeah, definitely a wonk
Also, he's horny on main on his twitter account.
Either way, self promotion combined with wonking over a game that doesn't even exist is definitely an issue.
"Grandmaster Combat, son!"
At best, Paper Jam 2 would be better suited for Darth wiki.
Trans rights are human rights!
^^ that second bit isn't particularly relevant as long as they don't bring it onto the wiki.
^ nah. Darth Wiki is for tropers' own unpublished work, not for a video game they wish existed. it could go on their troper page or sandbox, but it doesn't belong on Darth.
Bumping this up a bit.
I mean...has there been any update? Have they reverted any of their edits or responded to your PM?
A casual glance at their edit history doesn't show anything, so I'm not sure what else needs to be said.
Honestly I haven't messaged them, partly because I suck at DMs and partly because their actions (how long they've been campaigning for this game - literal years according to his Twitter; how they eased off for a few months after editing the Sparks of Hope YMMV only to go right back into it this October; the message they sent me after the removal of said YMMV stuff; the page for a nonexistent game) made me think they probably wouldn't listen to some random telling them to stop.
Regardless, I messaged them about this thread.
Scorpider77 seems like a good troper in all respects, except one; he seems to have this wonk over Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam 2 and keeps talking about how everyone is clamoring for it and linking to its page.
There's just one problem: the game doesn't exist. While his non Mario edits are fine, anything pertaining to Mario (Bowser Jr.'s Journey, Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam and YMMV.Mario And Luigi Paper Jam, and YMMV.Mario Plus Rabbids Sparks Of Hope, among others) keeps having him throw in references to this nonexistent game, culminating in him making a since-cut page for it on the 11th of this month.
He also DMed me a link to a tweet that allegedly shows the proof of this clamoring (along with saying the game exists and Nintendo hasn't found the time to reveal it, stated with no proof whatsoever), except it's an analytics link - which can only be seen by the person who made the tweet. So he's shilling both himself and a nonexistent game to the detriment of factual information.
