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.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
Have you messaged them about this at all? I also follow that page, and I admit I haven't; we've sorta been assuming they read edit reasons.
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.
After last week’s chapter, I sent them a thing basically saying that they needed to start using spoiler tags - I wanted to take it one problem at a time, and spoiler tags are the most annoying thing to fix for me. They never responded, and we both saw how that went today

Did you send them a notifier?
"Unite GUN/BAZOOKA/LAUNCHER/TANK!"
Notifiers are just preset messages with the specific page they're sent from inserted in the preset slot. If they're not responding to a personally written message then they most likely won't respond to a canned one.
Report them here. Conveniently, some troper named STARCRUSHER99 did just that a few hours ago :p

Agreed, their "work" looks bad. Hopefully that will be noticed by higher-ups soon.
Higher-ups have noticed and issued a suspension.

I would like to report a troper by the name of Aftermath Jack. I'm a frequent troper for the fan work Null, and here's the page's edit history
.
Aftermath Jack consistently makes bad edits, with no semblance of proper grammar or attempts at spoiler tagging, leaving someone to always have to go back in afterwards and fix his messes. I have reached out to them regarding this and have never received a response, yet they continue to make their bad edits and leave other people to clean up the mess. It's getting tiring, and looking through their edit history
makes it clear that this is a universal problem.
A recent problem, however, is that they'll try to add tropes that are already there; in Null, they did it with Curb-Stomp Battle and Deus ex Machina. There were already examples, but because they apparently didn't bother reading the page they didn't see that and tried to add them somewhere else (in places that were incorrect from an alphabetizing perspective, as well).
In short, they don't use proper grammar, spelling, spoiler tagging, or formatting. Any of those issues would by annoying on their own, but all four at once is an absolute pain to clean up after and I'd appreciate it if something could be done.
