I would say that reversions of outright policy violations are definitely allowed, but always good to have consensus on your side. My 2 cents is to go ahead and re-cut.

Looks like we have a "not a trope" notifer, so I'll send that. The edit warring warrants additional measures.

I'd re-delete and PM Ordeaux 26 about Flame Bait entries needing to stay on their own designated example subpages and they can't be wicked anywhere else on the wiki.

They didn't add as the original example so they technically weren't edit warring

IIRC Ordeaux is active in TRS so they should also probably know better.

Should I PM them to come over here?

^ They need to be P Med about it regardless so yeah, that's fine.

@MacronNotes — Should I go ahead and delete the entries, or wait until Ordeaux26 comes here?

I don't remember readding that, it must have made a mistake. I apologize for that feel free to remove it. I had been moving quite a bit of cut WAI entries to better tropes or the main Darth Wiki page when appropriate since a lot of examples were cut without being moved even when they should have. I have no idea how I managed to mess this up.

Re-deleted it, and made sure to reference this ATT post in the Edit Reason. Thank you all for the feedback!

I now realize what I did wrong I meant to add it under Idiot Plot because it talks about how the plot is relying on characters making stupid decisions I must have forgotten to change the trope. Would it be okay if I actually did that?

2022-04-27 18:33:56

^ It's alright, we all screw up sometimes.

Anyway as written it seems to fit Idiot Plot, though I'm requesting more opinions as that is not a trope I'm very familiar with.

So does anyone have an opinion?
