Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.

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 didn't choose the troping life, the troping life chose meI'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
Edited by MacronNotes Macron's notesIIRC Ordeaux is active in TRS so they should also probably know better.
Should I PM them to come over here?
Edited by themayorofsimpleton Works That Require Cleanup Of Complaining | Troper Wall@MacronNotes — Should I go ahead and delete the entries, or wait until Ordeaux26 comes here?
Edited by mouschilight "In conversation, do you listen or wait to talk?" "I have to admit that I wait to talk, but I'm trying harder to listen." — Pulp FictionI 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.
Edited by Ordeaux26I 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?
^ 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.

I was reading the YMMV.Atonement page, and I saw, via the Edit History, that Ordeaux26
re-added What An Idiot back to the page, even though that trope — both its main page and its Darth Wiki page — is now Flame Bait. And per definition, Flame Bait tropes should never be added to any page here.
AmuckCricetine deleted the What An Idiot items in January and explained in their Edit Reason that What An Idiot is now Flame Bait. See here
.
Ordeaux26 added it back in, last month (in March), with no Edit Reason. See here
.
Due to its Flame Bait status now, do I have permission to re-delete the entries? I didn't want to touch anything, since I didn't want to start an Edit War. I didn't add the What An Idiot entries in the first place, but still, I want to be sure and have some feedback first.
