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.
I'm not sure what the issue is. Could you link to the page, and say who it is that keeps doing this? It would make it much easier to determine what to do, and if necessary, for the moderation to take appropriate action.
He's saying that a troll added Mein Kampf For Hambeasts as a Take That! redirect. I cutlisted it.

She actually :'D But thank you for the cutlist thing! I really appreciate it.
So is there a way to...fix this??
Oh, and an anonymous person on tumblr told me that the people who keep doing this are actually from Something Awful. They occasionally troll Fandom Secrets and even the MLP TV tropes page as well, or so says this mysterious anon. (I'm sorry if that's not exactly the best proof though..)

Troper in question is nombretomado
. At least he made the second edit to the page.
His edit history is pretty large over the last three days but that looks to be it. Possible he just noticed a bad redirect and fixed it but still.

It wasn't him. He just notiecd a wick to Main/APH and changed it to Manga/APH. He's a good troper, and if you search his posts in the forum ,most are in the Wick Migration thread. No idea who the troll actually is, since the creation of a page often isn't listed as an edit.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
Fair enough, I figured that might be the case (and come to think of it I remember the name now, good troper).
Also explains the huge history, and how he made that edit without realizing the page (with that much migration I can easily see how it happened, it was originally made for the main page and when he moved it to manga he just went through and changed things, I've done that myself with one or two pages, so I know that's tough).
Apologies to nombretomado, figured it was worth mentioning but I was wrong about it.
Does bring up the idea of either finding a way to save the creation (probably hard to do) or maybe just storing the original creator of a page somewhere (probably easier) but that's probably already in tech wishlist.

Is there a way to check if its in the tech wishlist? I'm sorry for all the dopey questions, even if I've edited pages before, I'm still clueless about TV Tropes in general- especially when it comes to anything resembling tech-stuff.
Eesh, sorry for adding to an issue! I really was just going through the daily redirect slogging, didn't even much process what the page was. Sorry about that, you guys.
Its okay, it wasn't your fault, but the people who came up with that XD Thank you so much for fixing it! You saved the day! :D

IF they are from SA, they risk being banned from BOTH sites, due to previous xsite drama.

Eddie is going to put in a way to save the page creator going forward.

Sorry if this isn't the place for it, but I have no idea how to fix it.
In the Axis Powers Hetalia page, somebody keeps vandalising the Alternative Titles by adding "Mein Kampf For Hambeasts" to that list. This does not please me at all :(
