Er, this may have an easy answer, but...

After checking this page for the first time in a while, I noticed several tropes for... Pretty much every character had seemingly been removed despite that most of them genuinely applied to said characters. I checked the edit history and... Apparently a troper by the name of Ferot_Dreadnaught "hid" most of said tropes with the %% function. What's baffling is that it was seemingly done without any real rhyme or reason, as well as why he didn't outright delete the tropes in the first place. What's suspicious is the character he did it to the least was M01!Mewtwo (who already had the most tropes of any character on this page), and while he also removed links to things like "Crowning Moment Of Heartwaming" and "Tear Jerker" links for other characters... He left at least one Tear Jerker link in for Mewtwo himself.

Is this some new wiki policy I was unaware of? (I sure haven't seen it anywhere else.) If so, what do I do? Just make the examples visible again? Contact Ferot_Dreadnaught about it? Both?

The hidden tropes are Zero-Context Examples, and it has been around for a while. Add context to the entries before uncommenting them. Heartwarming and Tear Jerker are YMMV and those links are not allowed outside of the bounds of YMMV.

Oh, OK, reading the Zero Context Example policy page again I apparently missed th bit on uncommenting such examples and/or forgot about it. I may add context to a few, at least for the movies I'm familiar with and have actually seen recently.

I also already knew YMMV links on non-YMMV pages were against policy; my issue was I thought the editor was breaking that rule as favoritism to Mewtwo. That said, I'll also remove the Tear Jerker bit from the one entry on Mewtwo, since now it seems like an honest mistake.

OK, removed Tear Jerker from one of Mewtwo's entries and added context to EVERY Zero Context Example from two of the three movies I have both actually seen and seen recently (Movie 5 and Movie 8).

I'll get to the third movie on that list (Movie 15) soon; for now other stuff's come up. If anyone finds any mistakes fix them and let me know.
