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

Any notifiers?
TroperWall / WikiMagic Cleanup
Is there a "false info" notifier (or one for deleting "false information" that's actually true)? I would send a notifier for the stub page, but it's since been deleted (though whether or not a notifier was sent before it was deleted, I don't know). I've sent grammar notifiers, though (but I'm not sure if anyone sent them before I could).
v Done.

I see you added it back before I could.
I'd cite the query if I were you. Unless they're smart enough to avoid an Edit War by themselves.
Their edit history also showed they have changed the names of several
dinosaurs in a few pages without giving a good reason as to why. Also they weirdly decided to use feet in an example that already used meters? Also they stated that the wingspan of Ornithocheirus "was in reality 27 feet", but that size estimate comes from the related Tropeognathus, their actual size is estimated at 15-20 feet. I don't know anything about the "polar allosaur/australovenator" debate though.
The name changes have been fixed. Dinofan is strangely obsessed with the size of dinosaurs, describing the animals' proportions even when it's irrelevant. I'll delete those, and check other pages to see if the information they've added is accurate.
Smells like Single-Issue Wonk or a Wiki Vandal to me...
...But, I digress.

Let's see how they do after the October 3 notifiers. Also, we don't have a false information notifier, and I'd argue we shouldn't. But that's another discussion.
A reminder that we have Dinosaur factchecking thread, so you can do cleanups there and also ping the troper with an invite.

seems obsessed with dinosaurs to the point where it's becoming detrimental to the wiki. Not only do they use poor grammar, they also create stub articles
and TLP drafts
note , and they even appear to be inserting false information (such as here
) and removing true information while claiming it's false information
.
