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.
As it stands, both of you are in Edit War territory. Add, delete, re-add alone passes that threshold. Re-deleting after the re-add only continues the edit war.
At this point, you're doing the right thing by reporting it here.
Bumping because this got buried.
Dr_Wrecker's suspended for edit warring.
^^^ i don't see how OP is edit warring, given how they're bringing the example edit back in line with policy (altering trope names in examples aren't allowed, given this query).
Edited by worldwidewoomy Stan GaruKaru for clear skin
On the 10th of October Tropers/Dr_Wrecker made an edit on YMMV.Kira Kira Precure A La Mode changing Base-Breaking Character to [[BaseBreakingCharacter Base-Breaking Characters]]: here
I changed it back with the edit reason "The displayed trope name should not be altered". After that I forgot about it.
Earlier today the same troper made the exact same change to the exact same page here
.
Again I undid it, this time with the edit reason "As stated on How to Write an Example: Do Not Alter or Pothole the Trope Name". At first I did not think anything of it, but something kept nagging at me and after searching through the page history – that particular troper has made A LOT of edits to that page – I discovered that this is an edit war.
I have sent no notifiers for the edit war, though I have sent Dr_Wrecker a notifier for an earlier edit on the same page (adding a commented out example of Base-Breaking Character that later got expanded on).
