It's in the Main namespace, that's why it's supposed to go to TRS. You can't use ATT to bypass TRS.

If that's how it works, okay, I'm just saying that the page shouldn't be in Main at all, it's a misplaced character subpage (which contains nothing but ZCEs).

Yeah, that's why I added it to the TRS queue.

About the last part of your query though (since it's something you can do), if the fan work universe doesn't have pages for at least three different mediums on this wiki (which it doesn't from a glance), it should be moved and you should fix all the wicks to go to the moved page.

Admittedly it always feels a little overly-beaurocratic to force blatantly bad pages like these ones to go through TRS, but... eh.

I made this ATT without being entirely aware of the fact that ANY Main namespace page needs to go through TRS to get major adjustments.

I knew it applied to Tropes, even starving wicked ones, but I was just bewildered that an orphaned exampleless stub in the wrong namespace needs time in the TRS.

I will do what Apple Child suggested though, move the fanwork page to the right namespace and migrate the wicks. Speaking of... I am not sure what Namespace is the right one. It's PROBABLY best under Roleplay, if I had to hazard a guess based on what I can glean from the Wiki it's based around.
