Yeah, I'm pretty sure deleting Headscratchers isn't ok, since that technically counts as YMMV. Have any other notifiers been sent?

Sorry is that something I can check? or something we need a mod for?

Yeah, it does seem off. Also, I'd bring them back and link Edit Reasons and Why You Should Use Them in your edit reason.

^ Done. I hope I understood the context page correctly to put it back in the right place.

IIRC deleting headscratchers is only OK if they're blatantly false (e.g. "Why did Hero steal the blue car instead of the red one?" when Hero definitely stole the red car in canon, or something like that).

We can also delete IJBM holdovers if they're not phrased as questions (As in "It bugs me so much that Bob did this"), duplicate questions, and meta questions about real life rather than the work itself. Basic cleanup stuff.

^^^Thanks and I'm glad my advice was (apparently) helpful. (I hope this comment doesn't count as "popcorning" lol.)
