Why not just PM them about it? They look still active. Also keep it mind it has been 4 years.

I agree with sending a PM. They did receive one PM for not leaving an edit reason when one was needed, but it was a few years after this edit.

Hey there! Even though this was four years ago, I believe I removed it because, according to the Fanworks Home Page, fanwork pages are only supposed to index fanworks (or creators of fanworks) with pages on this wiki, and all of the entries I removed were off-site links to works that didn't have pages on this wiki. As for not leaving an edit reason, at the time I was still somewhat new to editing and didn't know you were supposed to do that. Sorry about that, I promise I've improved since then!

I guess that makes sense, FanWorks/ is an index, not a "I've found this this cool vid/fanart online". I've seen some of these going to Fanfic Recommendations, not sure if stretching the "fanfic" scope like that is fine.

I've seen fan videos recommended in Fanfic Recommendations, recall a mod saying doing is allowed, and have done so once myself; so I think other fan works are okay in that tab, so long as they still follow the rules on that page.

Huh, valid point of the music videos on the Fanworks page being technically not the same as Fanfic Recs, but Fanfic Recs use off-site links when we make recommendations. Can a mod weigh in?
