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.

Oh darn it. Do you want to call them in to discuss it? That's what usually gets suggested to me when I mention ATT to a mod.
That won't be necessary. This has been a persistent issue with them as noted above and they already know that big moves like this need consensus. I am going to suspend them again for making sloppy unilateral moves without consensus.

Okay. Guess this will be a short ATT. Will it be locked?
Star hit the major issues. We good to start reverting those?

Yeah, feel free to revert.

I really hate to do this, but I need to report Gate Star X again. I reported them before
for making big unilateral moves (and it was noted to be a persistent issue
with them, so they were suspended). I need to report them because they did it again on Marvel Cinematic Universe pages. Basically, we're trying to cut down the number of pages, but they just moved a bunch of different folders and pages
without attempting discussion. A brief summary of the problems here:
1. They moved allies away from two hero-centric pages for no real reason, so now both of them are way shorter than they really need to be. Especially with MCU: Defenders, which is now just a page for general tropes about the group rather than including any of the members - this is after we had just merged back several pages to get rid of other pages like this
(to say nothing about the unilateral parts of that edit, but I'd rather focus on this one).
2. MCU: Citizens – New York City is now getting a too long notice because of all the people he just put there, so now we're probably going to have to split off the Defenders allies to another page anyway because it's the only group big enough to split off.
3. MCU: The Punisher and Colleen Wing are now indexed under "other superheroes" instead of as allies of the Defenders, which is not where they should be going due to their narrative role.
4. MCU: IGH was moved to the "Criminals and Terrorists" page instead of the "Companies" page, so we probably need to move that over as well.
5. They already went ahead and fixed all the relevant links - in an approved edit I'd say good for them, but now if we change anything back, we have to find all the old links and fix them as well.
So they're back to their old habit and just from this one edit, there's already far more cleanup needed than there was before the edit. When they've already been suspended over this once and they clearly know how a proper discussion is supposed to go (they've participated in several), I really don't know what else I can do except report it here.
