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.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
It would be much easier for everyone if you've linked to specific edits from page history, but I'll go check everything to see where and how many violations there are.

I wasn't sure how to link specifically, I'm sorry about that.

- Inserting a bunch of Word Cruft to existing entires.
- x4 Serial Tweaking because the user can't Wikiword
- Realizing their previous additions are redlinked, struggling with potholes. Apparently they've never learned about curlies.
- Inserting a bunch of Word Cruft to existing entires
- Tronomics steps in and undoes most of previous additions, citing Word Cruft.
- Nexohook: Put a Saw reference to the caption again with no edit reason. Yes, it's the same as the previous one, clocking Edit War.
- Tronomics: Undoes all additions. It would be Edit War on its own if not for maintaining the policy and current self-report.
- Nexohook: Doubles-in on their version.
- Tronomics: Revert.

I've not seen Nexohook's history with other pages, but there's already quite a problem.

Once again, I'm really sorry about letting it get to this point. I wasn't really sure what to do about it so I wanted to ask for advice first.

I suspended both Nexohook and Tronomics for edit warring.
Macron's notes
This has definitely become an Edit War, which I sincerely apologize for, I wasn’t aware they were a thing until a couple of days ago and I really want to avoid this happening again. Basically, I’ve had issues with a user named Nexohook adding edits that violate a lot of the Administrivia rules on how to write examples concisely. Personally, I’ve only encountered them on the NightmareFuel page for SuperDanganronpaAnother2
but having looked into their editing history, I have seen that they have done similar things on other pages too. Some of their issues are:
-Fan Myopia: Adding in multiple references to random TV shows and franchises with no context, despite the page having nothing to do with them.
-Clear, Concise, Witty: Adding jokes to every entry, to the point where it becomes very distracting and takes away from the original example.
-I don’t know if this falls under the Family Friendliness policy or No Lewdness, No Prudishness and I think may not be too big a deal when compared to the others, but there has been an effort to change a word that fits just fine with a more “vulgar” substitute? Like changing the words “genitals” to “balls”. This may not be an issue so please let me know if I’m in the wrong here.
I took the advice under Signal-to-Noise Train Wreck and removed the edits to clear things up several times and given reasons in the history as to why I did so, but after a few weeks, the user will come back and add them back in again. Like I said, I’m not sure what to do about the situation so any advice will help. Once again, I’m so sorry for creating an Edit War situation, and now that I know about Ask The Tropers, I’ll know to come here again next time if something like this happens again.
