I noticed that Tropers/ pages also have discussion pages. I don't think there's any use for them as the only person who can edit the main Tropers page is the contributor. Private messages are used to send messages to the troper. Recently there was an incident where someone posted vandalism on the Discussion page. Could Tropers/ have its discussion pages removed?

Substantially in agreement, although your first sentence is more like a con than a pro.

Alos, given the recent incidents, this should be coupled to a way to prevent abusive cutlisting.

Well, it seems to have been implemented.

And the buttons are centered now on Tropers/ pages, too.

There's no real reason to write the extra code it would take to exclude the Troper Discussion pages. Certainly, the very rare malicious vandalism attacks (two episodes, or maybe three, in several years) of them isn't reason enough by itself.

Madru...are you saying we didn't need this change? Because it's been implemented.

Normally I would say troper pages go by the same wiki systems as other pages, so it's unnecessary to code something different. But now that troper pages are restricted to the corresponding tropers, it makes sense for this to carry over to the discussion.

It means I didn't realize it had been implemented already. So sue me. I'm not on the computer 24/7/365 and I'm certainly not on TV Tropes anywhere near that often.

I did not mean to be confrontational, Maddy; I was wishing to clarify what had or hadn't happened. Thank-you for responding.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
