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

No, inkster doesn't get to decide that a page is Spoilers Off unilaterally. That's a major no-no.
In terms of fixing it, you can either revert everything manually or wait for a mod revert.
EDIT: They also replaced the dashes on the Kirby pages with some weird question mark/diamond symbol. Don't know what that's all about, but that's also not good.

Reverted both pages and sent out a unilateral changes notifier.
Macron's notes
Sorry to bump this, but they did the same thing on Characters.Dead Rising and Characters.Dead Rising 2 - they unmarked all the spoilers on any character folder that had a Walking Spoiler entry, which includes two Big Bads, a minor character from the first game, The Mole from the second game, and a plot-relevant boss from the second game. Do I have permission to revert those as well?

Yes, go ahead.
I'm sorry to bump this again, but they just did it again - again to Characters.Dead Rising, this time Larry Chiang, a character who is very much not a Walking Spoiler. They added the Walking Spoiler entry to justify removing all the spoilers in the folder, with the edit reason "Uhh yeah". What can be done here? I've tried going to multiple threads to resolve this issue and I have simply never gotten a response, but there are at least three characters that I want to argue removing the Walking Spoiler status from (and thus I also want to add the spoilers back). What can be done?
Edited by STARCRUSHER99
Reverted, more specifically phrased notifier sent. As for discussing whether someone fits Walking Spoiler... uh, maybe "Is this an example?" is the place.
Edit: After seeing other edits Inkster has made, they seem to be going around pages removing spoilers willy nilly on grounds that the characters are Walking Spoilers. They even made an entirely new section on this page just for three characters with endgame spoilers
. Surely that isn't just blanket permission to do so, right?
On Kirby - Villainous Factions, Inkster612 removed every single spoiler tag, even though a lot of those spoilers are major plot points, and did something that rendered every em dash as a question mark symbol
. Is there a way to fix this?
