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.

Thank you for re-adding j. We did indeed discuss this example and deem her a keep. I don't want to assume bad faith on the other user's part but they've unilaterally edited her character page as though trying to paint the character in a "bad" light. Not helping is the fact they never leave edit reasons, so there's no real line of communication and they aren't joining us on the MB thread despite the addition of the entry and your later re-addition both linked to it. Maybe send them a PM as a final measure but if they don't respond let's just keep our eyes peeled to make sure they don't start an edit war or keep "negative troping" the character that I haven't heard anyone else have the same issues with.
Okay they're still Single Issue Wonking, this time on YMMV.Fate Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works changing this:
Caster. This time the root of the dissatisfaction came not only from visual novel readers but also casual viewers, all of whom feel the show gives viewers a rather one-dimensional portrayal of her and leaves out a lot of the deeper layers to her character found in the VN.
To this:
Caster. This time the root of the dissatisfaction came not only from visual novel readers but also casual viewers, all of whom feel the show gives viewers a rather one-dimensional portrayal of her and how she come across as nothing more then a hollow and redundant plot device impersonating a character.
That last part seems like very blatant complaining.
Edited by jjjj2 You can only write so much in your forum signature. It's not fair that I want to write a piece of writing yet it will cut me off in the mid
Yeah, it seems like they're not gonna let up on this one. Not sure what should be done but something probably should if they're dedicating this much time and effort to bashing the character.
No response to the PM I take it j? This is just getting annoying.
After looking over the YMMV page for UBW and its history, I... don't think Caster is their only problem. They removed Better on DVD, added a bashy and bloated (As in, multiple indentations bloated, with nonstop bashing and mischaracterization) Base-Breaking Character entry for Taiga, deleted a Fanfic Fuel entry, added a Base-Breaking Character entry for Rin that is again just nonstop bashing, and in general has made the page a mess, all with no edit reasons, removed positivity in the One-Scene Wonder entry, added a "subverted" statement on Win Back the Crowd which talks about how Zero fans weren't satisfied, meaning the entry says the opposite of what it originally said. (When YMMV tropes can't be played with and it's just bashing.) Also, looking back through the page history, they removed the other side of the argument on Caster's Base-Breaking Character entry, which explained why people like her, like a BBC entry is supposed to do.
This is a bigger problem than we may have thought. It seems they may just have a problem with UBW or maybe F/SN as a whole.

^That and the fact that they aren't responding to the PM's is really not ok. Should we link them to this thread?
"Unite GUN/BAZOOKA/LAUNCHER/TANK!"
PM'd them a link. Not sure if they'll take me up on the offer but that's about all I can do.
^Let's pray that they take the offer...
"Unite GUN/BAZOOKA/LAUNCHER/TANK!"
This person definitely has a Single-Issue Wonk regarding the series as most of their edits are FSN related and the ones I've seen have been pretty mean spirited.
Hope your prepared for an unforgettable luncheon
They seem to have a very weird hatred for rin and castor going off their edits. Removing anything positive and painting them in the worst possible light.
"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."
This person also seems to have a vendetta against anyone who don't like Saber based off his edits on Video Games where they removes the section stating people's issues with her.
Are they doing this with other trope pages? (Other than the one mentioned above)
"Unite GUN/BAZOOKA/LAUNCHER/TANK!"
Yeah check out Video Games for just one. Were they removed and entry on shirou to replace it with bashing rin for being a Tsundere I guess. Not even sure Thats even an example of that trope either.
"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."
^^ Here's ~Kryticreviewer's edit history: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/el.php?findfor=Kryticreviewer
Suspended them, their edits need cleanup.

Guys some help with reverting and cleaning everything. They hit a lot of stuff
"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."
Ah, fuck, time for the fun part of restoring all the shit that got ruined!
Thanks Septimus!
Kryticreviewer deleted this subbullet without an edit reason from Magnificent Bastard on YMMV.Fate Stay Night (the character was approved by the thread
):
They in turn seem to have a Single-Issue Wonk with this character in particular, going to the character page and deleting all the sympathetic traits of the character such as: Wouldn't Hurt a Child, Even Evil Has Standards, Broken Bird. In addition they added a bunch of unflattering tropes such as: Smug Snake, Big Bad Wannabe, Out-Gambitted.
