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.
Maybe it has to do with a recent update that requires legacy accounts to have emails attached, and they have the "new" tag to show that they have updated their accounts to include an email address?
THE GOLDEN AGE WILL RETURN AGAIN!Recent update treats account age not from registration date, but from when email was added, probably.
I suggest copying this to Query Bugs.

I've noticed a few usernames I'm familiar with from other edits, and the site has the "new" tag by their names. I'm able to go back a while on their edit histories, so... I dunno what's happening here.
