Someone posted a stub article, and it was cut. And all cut pages are automatically locked. You can go to this forum thread to appeal an unlock.

Unlocked.

Unlinked, unindexed content-free stub articles are a pain in the behind. Blanking them seems very wrong. Putting them on the Cut List would seem to be the formal, correct way to go, but the autolock creates this very problem. There's no good way to tell which stub is going to turn into a real article and which is just random cruft. It would be nice if folks didn't make them in the first place. The bar for a bare-minimum work article is pretty low: something like a couple of paragraphs and half a dozen tropes, properly wicked in. Put the article on one or more indicies. Why go below that?

Nicely done. So much better than just an image and the word "trippy". One small note: True Art Is Angsty is a subjective and goes on the YMMV tab, hence the red dot and the edit window notice.

It was a hard aversion, so I removed it outright. If it's averted it basically means it wasn't used, and it's pretty clear that there's little "angsty" about Co E :)
