Send them a PM to see if we can resolve this issue without suspension.

The one entry per troper rule means a troper can only have one entry per work. A troper is allowed to have multiple entries for different works on subpages that cover more than one work, so that rule isn't being violated.

@nombretomado Well, I did what you said. My message included a link to this topic as well. It's in their hands now. What do I do if they don't respond?

@A Drago Fair enough, but that doesn't excuse the entries that refer to multiple moments instead of one or an entire game.

Well, if they don't rectify the issues at hand and/or continue making incorrect DMOS edits, then you bump the topic for mod attention.

@nombretomado Okay, good to know. I'll give them a week to respond or act and get back to you accordingly.

I wasn't even aware that I'd violated any rules; but now that you've brought it to my attention, I agree that any offending entries should be corrected/deleted.

Whenever possible, please link me to each violation so that I may correct/delete it (in fact, I've already deleted the most-obvious offenders among the ones you just quoted); I apologize for my inattentiveness.

Relating to this, DethroningMoment.Star Wars and DethroningMoment.Video Games rules state "One moment per work to a troper", that's what's causing this confusion.

Should I change them to "One moment per troper", which is the intended use of this trope?

Well, the entries have all been deleted. I'd say the matter's resolved.

@Ferot_Dreadnaught I dunno. Like I said, not a mod.

One troper gets one moment per work. If the language isn't clear, then feel free to update as needed and link back to this discussion in the edit reason.

In case what "work" means isn't clear, The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi are separate works. A troper can have a DMOS for each of these. A troper cannot have a franchise-wide DMOS for Star Wars, and also DMOSes for the individual movies.
