Here's their edit history, for reference.

Edit: I'm not seeing an edit war, or anything really out of line. Can you reference specific posts they've made?

Edited by bitemytail Health sure is versatile. It's possible to be both light-headed and dim-witted. At the same time, no less.

"Foe Romance Subtext: Heavily with Kylo Ren, particularly in The Last Jedi. They have a Force Bond which they use to communicate, argue, and eventually confide and empathize their personal problems. She gets flustered when she inadvertently sees him shirtless through said bond, they outright hold hands, and he re-extends his We Can Rule Together offer in a way that sounds like a proposal."

"* Innocently Insensitive: Kylo is no innocent, but when he tells Rey that her parents were nobodies who didn't care about her and who died meaningless deaths, he's not trying to be cruel. In fact, he's genuinely trying to be kind; as he says, Rey might have meant nothing to her parents, but she definitely means something to him."

"At the massacre of Lor San Tekka's village, the camera specifically lingers on Kylo noticing that Finn isn't shooting anyone. He decides not to say anything about it or turn him in for reconditioning, perhaps out of understanding over feeling conflicted."

"His kindness and feelings for her are totally genuine, to the point that, until he refuses to call off the attack on the Resistance, she thinks that she's succeeded in turning him away from the dark side. His proposal that they rule the galaxy together is also heartfelt and sincere, even though he's asking her to let the Resistance die and become a dictator along with him."

Those edits/examples (you can't "post" on the wiki) were written over eight months ago. They were added to Characters.Star Wars The First Order, and ~Apocrypha was not the only troper involved. I don't think "aggressively promoting" or deleting and rewriting entries are accurate to the situation.

It's now clear to me I overreacted. Please disregard this post, and accept my apology.

The Innocently Insensitive example is just bad and needs to be deleted, IMO.

When was the last time they edited the page? January?

Also , the Director himself in commentary stated that Kylo was attempting to manipulate her . So it was manipulative not insensitive.

^ Agreed. It reads way more as him deliberately playing to her insecurities.

I removed Inncoently Insensitive and even added a link to the director himself saying it was manipulation and it was still put back in. Have taken it to discussion. I would have thought Word of God , and the link to back it up would be enough.
