No, it wouldn't. It'd only really be warring if you readded it and WB cut it again.

If you readd it, you could even put in your edit reason not to remove stuff like that without a reason. Whilst that page needs a lot of work on the example indentation front, removing tropes like that without justification isn't good.

The Unfortunate Implications TRS thread came to the decision that uses of Unfortunate Implications now require citation. That may be why he cut it.

Still, TRS decisions should be referenced in an edit reason, no?

^ Naturally. I'm just saying that insta-reverting isn't always the best choice.

Could be the result of a bad connection if it was a big bloc of entries. That happens a lot.

What's precedent ever done for us?

I know; I've had that happen to me. In my experience, that can break off mid-sentence and usually wipes the remainder of the page, rather than taking out the entirety of a couple tropes and no more. There are also normal edits both above and below the removed sections.

Alright, I'll leave the Unfortunate Implications examples off. Is Squick still allowed on YMMV pages? I only visit TRS once in a blue moon.
