On this wiki, we like to operate by consensus. Big moves and changes need community discussion, at least to a degree. However, some tropers like to do things solo...and leave a trail of messes behind for the rest of us.
This is a thread for the community to tackle these issues together. We can ping tropers over, clean up/revert changes, and in general, make sure massive alterations don't occur in secret.
If it's done on purpose, wouldn't that just be Hate Sink?
Somebody removed the Statler and Waldorf stinger from the Bluey page, and their only reason was that it was "mean-spirited." Should this have been discussed beforehand?

Yes, although TBH, reading the stinger I'm not in favor of it to begin with.
Which thread should we use to discuss a potential replacement?
Now a lurker. Thanks for everything. | he/him
Technically we don't need a stinger, so I don't think there is one.
Should we just leave the stinger off for now? I know that re-adding it would be edit warring. I also feel like we should tell whoever removed it that they shouldn't do that without discussing it, especially not for personal reasons.
Now a lurker. Thanks for everything. | he/him
Yeah, I think we should leave the stinger off for now. I know little about/do not watch Bluey so I couldn't think of a new one to begin with.
Since it was a unilateral change, I think you could send a unilateral notifier for it.

Back to Rescued from the Scrappy Heap, delete the description, refine, or leave as it is?

IDK. It's not technically at odds with the rest of the trope, so...

Can we also bring up instances in which someone deletes one entry with no consensus or edit reason? (For the record, I'm asking because I'm just making sure this doesn't only apply to larger edits.)

~dookamatic Actually I just realized I told you to send the wrong notifier. In the future, you want the "edit reason" notifier.

Oh dear. Thanks for letting me know!
Now a lurker. Thanks for everything. | he/him
You're welcome, and apologies for the screw-up.

I suppose we can bring random deletions here, though it's not really the intention of the thread. I made it to deal with things like AHI situations, or random additions to tropes, or stuff like that. Not just any edit made without discussion.

got a bunch of rewrites, are they fine?
🍊orange fursona🧡
Not without a reason, no.

As the person who made the edits, I'm explaining myself (and will keep in mind not to do this sort of thing without adding edit reasons): I rewrote the definition to contain less word cruft and moved Happy Ending at the first category to align one of the trope's previous requirements that Omnipresent Tropes wouldn't count for types B or D. The definition is the same and no trope has been removed from Spoilered Rotten.

The pessimist sees a dark tunnel, the optimist sees a light, the realist sees two lights and the engineer sees three idiots.

That's a good explanation. Removing Word Cruft is good and needed; something I admit I;m having a hard time refraining.

Hey-o - a couple of characters from the Dead Rising character pages were unilaterally made Spoilers Off recently. Is this where I come to discuss which ones should be reverted and which ones I actually agree make sense to remove the spoilers?
🍊orange fursona🧡
Possibly. Ask the mods for queries, as I don't have any knowledge of Dead Rising.

Since The Scrappy is by definition unintended, can the trope be done purposefully? I guess the description always said it could, but...
