The title of an ATT thread (and similar systems here) are always links to single-thread mode, so they cannot be used to link elsewhere. YMMV.Coronation Street provided as a courtesy for other tropers interested in reviewing the issue at hand.

~Jason ZZ 44 Z is the one who added the example in question, apparently having trouble with markup. ~Caring Guy appears to have an objection to this trope's applicability to the work and left a rude edit reason when removing it. No edit war yet, so discussion is encouraged. Caring Guy doesn't seem to know how to wick properly, based on their edit reason.

Unrelated, ~@Commander BLAARGH added natter with improper Example Indentation. Applicable notifiers sent.

Ok guys- crazysamaritan, I've spoken to you already. As for you, Erin, what edits are you talking about? Wait, are you talking about the removal of the Woobies? Because that wasn't you, I don't think, and also, this "s" business- surely you need to message the user, i.e. me, who made the mistake, rather than just putting a comment that I'd be unlikely to know it was addressed to me. Anyway, are you talking about this Pat Phelan business? Well, I don't think that was you, BUT surely his crimes couldn't have been redeemable, by any stretch of the imagination?

Um... it's alternative character interpretation. Just because you don't think it's right for a section of the fanbase to find a character redeemable, doesn't mean it's not valid to have on the page if that's how fans feel. Like, C'mon, man.

First of all, where do you come into this? :S And if it comes to that, we could write a whole list of AC Is, but anyway, please explain to me how someone could imagine he was redeemable? I know other people have interpretations, but I don't get that one at all

I come into it because this is a public forum where I got curious and wanted to see what was actually going on.

Also, it's called Draco in Leather Pants.

Oh, I just realised where you were coming from, Erin, about the unnecessary edits I mentioned- yeah, I didn't mean you, again, I meant the guy who deleted all those Woobies examples, who for some reason, his ideas have been accepted across this wiki

Wait, that guy you're talking about is Master Joseph, yeah? They're doing work for the Woobie Cleanup thread...

Some YMMV tropes have an ongoing project thread that determines applicability. Any edits involving The Woobie should have an edit reason linking to this thread.

Yes, Master Joseph. And yeah, I know, but why, for example, were Max and Lily removed from the Woobie list? They lost their mum, for crying out loud! And why was Jake from Series 1 of Outnumbered, who was bullied, and then thought his parents were splitting taken off.

^ I don't know, take it to the thread and find out, maybe?
