Their grammar is also bad to the point of being incomprehensible.

^ I noticed that too, but I figured one issue at a time.

I should note that I did send them a PM with a link to Welcome to TV Tropes, so let's see what happens.

They're still editing that page...I'm not sure if they get it.

I've sent them a PM about the improper namespace, but no reaction...

Is it worth sending a grammar notification? They don't seem to be reading our P Ms.

Making it worth noting that the page, if rewritten and given examples, can be salvaged by moving it to either the Recap or Video Game namespace (the index provided by the page Roblox is inconsistent on this matter, and seems to be in a grey area regarding the troping of UGC on a work's main page.)

I don't know much about Roblox, but on the Roblox Wikia, it's called a sci-fi game, so probably the Video Game namespace. Given the length of that page, there seems to be plenty of potential for troping.

^given the scope of most things like this on Roblox, as well as that it seems to be the creator's pet project, it's roughly akin to a trope page for a roleplay or fan work imo.

I've discarded the TLP and cut the stub page.

Not anymore. And now we're having a talk with them.

Could someone link to the TLP they made?
