Did you notify them of the fact that Android 21's page is Spoilers Off?

I invited them to the Discussion page to talk it out.

Sorry to bring this up again, but people are making edits to the page, which would make a revert (if one occurs) that much harder to fix.

Can we at least get a lock until then?

You could use the spoiler-removing wiki tool. That'll remove the spoiler markup while keeping other people's edits. If you use that, just be sure to check that weird characters weren't accidentally added (some people said the tool added such characters when they used it but that's never happened with me afaik).

That doesn't really address the issue of the troper making those edits, but it does address the issue of cleaning the page. You could even add a commented-out message at the top of the page saying something like "Spoiler mark-up has been removed from this page as it is Spoilers Off. Please don't add the spoiler mark-up without prior discussion."

Thanks. I never even knew those tools existed.

But yes, even then, I need to wait and see if a revert happens, since Hyperon also messed up the folder organization as had been agreed upon in Discussion.

I invited the other two tropers who'd participated in said discussion, and one of them has only further agreed with the way I'd organized it beforehand.
