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

Bumping, it's getting to the point where this user is basically stripping the page of details and specifics now.
Question. Have you PM'ed them?
I have yet to, wasn't sure what the best way to would be so far, and I'm not sure if any that have liked the post have or not.
Even if someone has, it's usually the best move - unless they seem like they are bent on vandalism. I think this could go either way, so you might as well try.
All right, sent a PM. Not sure how this'll go, since the same exact user has been causing issues on the Transformers Wiki with the same exact subject.
If problems do arise, it won't be for your lack of trying, at least.
Well, I got a PM back. There was apparently official bio use, but the bios are so condensed, that they really don't work to describe the characters in full.
What do you mean by "official bio use"?
The bios on the official website, they were sort of "bit bios", but they don't give "full explaining". Like, Slobber Rock mentioned. Everything about him claims he's like a puppy, but he doesn't look like a puppy, he looks like a turtle, so actually calling him a puppy doesn't really work.
Sorry to drag this up again...but it appears this has escalated into an edit war now. Kof 4495 just re-edited the Transformers: BotBots page again with the same exact edit that was changed, once again trying to pull the "the website says so", even though it still doesn't work, the website is laconic in bios, and it's not the full truth, along with changing a characters' pronouns back to "its" again, something that doesn't read as the best.

Giving this a small push, since I'm really unsure about it, because this continuing to go "only by the website" is also blatantly removing stuff that is truth, including just up and removing characters that are a certain animal species just because "the website didn't say they were", even though they blatantly are.

The user Kof4495
has been modifying the Transformers: BotBots page from edits that have been added, stripping data that is true into nitpicky stuff (Like, Slobber Rock acts like a puppy, and might be called a puppy, but he doesn't even look like one, which is something I added, but they keep changing it to them being an actual puppy), gender issues (turning a character with no mentioned gender from "they" to "its"), and flat-out removing stuff and simplfying it down to really needed measures (Ollie Bite isa baseball cap, why just turn it to "hat" and why remove a character that is on the list as being what they are entirely?).
This same user has caused issues on non-TV Tropes websites for this same exact franchise, and I really want to edit the page back, but I don't want to be caught in an edit war.
