Right, but short of finding the person who put it on the cutlist or recreating it, what else can we do at this point? Whether it was a mistake or not, it's already been cut.

I know nothing about the work, but should the page be recreated?

If you knew what was on the page, sure.

Mods can restore cut pages.

Submitted a request to the Locked Pages thread.

Can you find the person who deleted the page? We need to summon them.

Why do we need to summon them? Wouldn’t a PM suffice?

EDIT: I mean, this could be a simple misunderstanding, and in that case a PM making them aware of the mistake would be enough.

I thought they can explain themselves.

EDITED: I started to debate the practice of summoning people here (which really means "ordering them to come here", not "asking nicely") but realized that this is the wrong forum for that. I may open a discussion elsewhere.

There's a reason I once made this thread to ask if alerting tropers to ATT threads is always needed or even always a smart thing to do. It seems to be a first resort for a lot of people, but it can end very badly or isn't required in a lot of cases.

"Summon" is perhaps not the right word, but I think that in certain situations it is good to at least message whomever with a PM asking what their reasoning was behind their actions.

That being said, we don't know (as of right now) who sent the page to the cutlist, and I don't plan on going through all of the pages of cuts to find who did it.

Albert has sent a request to restore the cut page. There's not really anything else to do at this point of time. If someone does find out who cutlist the page, send them a PM explaining the situation, and hopefully that will be that.

Alright then. I tried to look for who did it in recent cuts but it's hard to find it anyway.

The recent cuts no longer give the name of the troper who cut listed the pages.

That’s been the case for quite a while.
