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.

There really isn't a way to forcibly delete an image filename in our system. You can replace the article image with a different one, but I'll have to speak to the admins about the other problem.

Thanks - I've already replaced the file. I'll leave the rest to the admins - while the edit was from 2014, the troper has been active as recently as January 2017.
Well, he did apologize for the filename ahead of time. It goes back a while, but should we give him a PM to come here and talk to ATT?
And for the record, that file has been changed.
I'm not sure apologizing ahead of time actually makes it better, because it means he knew it would be a bad thing to do and did it anyway.
Random numbers would have been better than that. Apologies don't cut it in such a case.

The "apology" is blatant hypocrisy. Nothing forced him to use hate speech in a file name.

Doing some edits on Ed Sheeran and did a double take on the filename of his photograph. A bit of digging in the history got me this little gem:
"5th Sep '14 12:31:58 AM creekery Is there an issue? Send a Message
Added Diff Lines:
[[quoteright:283:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/anuscocknigger_5477.jpg]] [[caption-width-right:283:The guitar guy himself.]]
Reason: Sorry for the filename, nothing else was working because everything was already taken."
Not cool, regardless of how you might feel about this artist. The N-word is especially nasty. Can someone address? Thanks.
