Oh Jesus Christ, that warcraft section is about five times longer than it needs to be, and I have no idea what World Of Warcraft is about.

Cut the entire thing and put it on discussion? I think I will.

[up][up]If it gets the fake red link, it might be a problem for index's and other place where we should link to it. Besides, we would need to lock it.

[up]If it involves WoW, it is probably not too long. After all, Blizzard has worked on it for seven years, so it seems like this would happen a lot. If its pre WoW, dump it, beacuse I dont think that there are enough characters for it to happen more then once or twice.

OK, the crowner's been running for about a week, and we have a 2.44 : 1 consensus for the flamebait banner. How do we put it up?

At least this will get the whining off the rest of the wiki.

How do we get the flamebait banner applied?

Guys, you'll get a much better response if you post the request for the Flamebait banner in the pages that need (or don't need) Banners thread.

The banner already was applied, but disappeared.

Actually, the banner already appeared, and already disappeared, without explanation. It already existed when the "NOTE: while this page has the Flame Bait banner, specific forms of this do not, and may be potholed in YMMV or the main wiki, depending on whether they are subjective or not." bit was put.

IMHO, the best thing to do would be to purge all examples of Character Derailment that occur for a single episode or story arc like the One More Day Spider Man example or Marvel Civil War and move them to Out-of-Character Moment. It should only count as Character Derailment if it sticks for a sustained run of the work.

There's 3:1 on the banner. Is there a reason why was it removed?

The Flame Bait banner is buggy right now. It's being worked on. Bring it up in the banner thread.

Question: Considering ANY change is Character Development, it is a good idea change the description of the Character Derailment subtropes?
