Have you asked them via a PM?

Also, to answer your question, if you decide to add it back without discussing it first, that would indeed be edit warring.

Make the edits again w/o discussion: edit warring.

Pull examples to discussion, get consensus and general agreement on whatever version winds up being used, put that in: not edit warring.

Just give the discussion a reasonable amount of time and PM the other party so they know it's happening.

Well, the thing is that pulling the examples to the discussion page is what I did in the first place, and Katsuhagi's response was to put them back how they were without any discussion.

But I've decided to let it go, because I don't care about the trope that much, so I guess I should stop protesting my righteousness here too, huh?

They were edit warring twice over, then, and the mods will probably want to discuss both that and the ignoring ongoing discussion with them.

You're good, as long as you stay away from ownership issues. :) :p
