Looks like they've got a Tump quote plugin.

Tropers/Chytus removed it already. While I don't think omitting an edit reason was kosher, it needed to go regardless. Now either the mods will tap Cran, or he'll edit war and get their attention that way. Either way, problem solved.

I don't think it was deliberate. It looks like he tried to remove a misplaced apostrophe, but he has the Trump Quote Chrome plugin that auto-vandalized the page. Then he tried to fix it, but the plugin just made it worse.

That link must have shifted somehow. Here's its page on the Chrome store.

Plug-ins and extensions come and go. When I first heard of the cloud one, Google Store had four of the things. Trump had three. It's fluctuated since then.

Want me to PM Crantastic and ask him to turn the plugin off or at least make it not work on TV Tropes?

Go for it. Text-replacement plugins damage the wiki and are a straight shot to being suspended until they're turned off, removed, or TVT is put on their whitelist.

Second time for that user with the plugins. You'd think they'd learn.

I see Crantastic was suspended and released for the plugin. This thread is done.

Requesting a lock, por favor.
