This seems like it's some kind of Unpublished Work? I'd PM the troper to ask them where the work is. Otherwise it can be moved there. They also need some formatting help, as they have the folders wrong. But it might be a new user, so mistakes happen. Is there a proper notifier for folder help?

I PM'd them about it, they claimed it was "for fun"

Considering the nature of it, I'd say Unpublished Works. Just For Fun is a bit more specific. As this is clearly just "data". And seeing as how the examples are decently fleshed out, it reads a lot like a works page too.

Plus, doesn't JFF need to have some mod approval if it isn't part of something specific(and we already are removing some Selfdemonstrating stuff).

Bump because despite me telling them the page isn't Useful Notes, they've added more to it today.

If it's "just for fun", then it doesn't need to be in the Useful Notes namespace.

Aaaaaaaand look what I found on Trivia.Paper Mario Sticker Star! It was found via the related page! Here it is.

For the record, the offending troper is Tropers.Mattjanga.

Btw mods, feel free to check the PM discussion we had, because they explained the reason for the page in a way that is difficult to paraphrase, so yeah...

I moved it to DarthWiki.Villain Army. JustForFun is not for just... anything, particularly for what appears to be a personal project.

It's been moved to Darth Wiki. No clue if they moved it or whatnot. But I'm pretty sure you can't link to general Darth Wiki stuff, so the other pages should have the link removed.

Suspending them. Also check some of their other edits, as they are adding nonsensical stuff other places as well.

I took a look and deleted every example I could find that mentions the "Villain Army". Not sure what to make of the other mook-related edits, though. I also found Quotes.Tyrant Takes The Helm, which appears to be a collection of random, unsourced quotes. Should I send it to the cutlist?

^ It's not even formatted correctly.

Go ahead and cutlist.
