Talk to them again but with a direct message, they may have misunderstood what the notifier wanted or have sent that task to the back of a to-do list. Explain that we expect most if not all examples on work pages to be copied to the respective trope pages.

If it becomes apparent that they're continuing editing and have ignored the message, it would imply they're not a cooperative troper.

Alright, sent them a DM about it.

EDIT: I sent them a ZCE notifer (and made a commented out notice about ZCEs) earlier today and they actually added context to the example I sent the notifer for, so that looks like a good sign.

Excuse the double post, but I think this is important to bring up:

wayside has been editing the page every now and then today but still hasn't crosswicked it, long after I sent them the PM explaining why they should crosswick their page. For the ZCE, I'm guessing they just read the commented out notice I added on the page in this case.

I think at this point I'd wait for a mod to comment.

They've been actively editing the page recently. Maybe give another day or two and check up then, after which I'll send another message.

I guess problem solved, and we just have to wait.

I should have said to await response longer. I was basing on the prior history of ignoring a notifier, but haven't thought that they may be preoccupied to answer the second one.
