Man, at times like this I really wish we had a "Not a trope / No longer a trope" notifier... One could also add a commented out notice to the trope page saying that Badass Beard is no longer a trope.

I would like that as well. Especially since I still reflexively try to add Up To Eleven in some places.

Courtesy link. I don't know how much more explicit I can make my edit reasons; people have to be willing to read them.

The edits were days apart and the content not exactly the same. I can excuse krimzonflygon2 for not noticing, since the notice is only within the edit history (only one notifier has been sent after the re-deletion).

Well, they did add more context, but the first sentence is exactly the same, which makes it seem like they copied it from the history.

They may have, but since it was added by ~Minister Of Sinister, an Edit War hasn't occurred yet.

I think Walkin's point was less that it's an Edit War and more that they should've seen the edit reason attached to the example.

^^Also this - the issue isn’t an edit war as much as it is that Badass Beard is no longer a trope, and needs to be dewicked.

Could you PM them and tell them this trope is being dewicked.

They readded it with a different explanation under Manly Facial Hair. It doesn't really feel like an example, though.
