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

Why does there even need to be a full Epileptic Trees subpage? What sort of content from that page wouldn't just be able to go on WMG?

The Epileptic Trees entry has basically grown so much from the YMMV page.
Other than that, this seems OK to me.

Here's the thing: I don't have the entries that were on those pages. If there's no way to retrieve the old page then there's no reason to bring the cut pages back.
If the entries grew from the YMMV page, then you can go to the history of YMMV.Love Live and pull it from there.
The pages themselves had maaaaaaaaybe half a dozen edits by anyone except the banned user, and I transferred everything not added by him to the pages. If he took valid examples to make the pages, then they would be in the history of the YMMV pages.
The pages were basically the playground of someone with a history of making up YMMV, poor understanding of tropes, bad grammar, and a refusal to understand wiki syntax.

And I already told you that some of those entries by the banned user are valid and some of those valid entries were added by that same user after the page was created. Those entries could have been rewritten/removed/moved if people just asked.
Edits from ban-evaders typically get chopped on principal, though, especially when they were banned for editing issues. It's unfortunate, but it's assumed they aren't valid. Do you remember any entries that may have been valid (as written by FGF, and not someone else)?

~lenne18, cutting you a break. I've taken the last versions of those pages and put them in a sandbox for you at Sandbox.Lenne18. If anything is valid, you can take a whack at salvage.
@War Jay 77 Nothing specific. The entire Fanon page is, as I remember, one giant reference page for all popular fan theories that somehow taken a life on their own on fan works.
@nombretomado Thanks! Although the last revision of the Epileptic Trees entry is already the cut down version (those entries are back on the YMMV entries). If there's no way to recover them, that's fine since this page is the least important of the two.
I would like to recreate the following pages that were cut recently:
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Fanon/LoveLive
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/EpilepticTrees/LoveLive
Reason for the cut page was: Page made by a banned user, entries untrustworthy, unverifiable, or just plain flawed due to issues with said user.
It seems that the pages were cut mainly because of the user because nobody has actually asked and verified the entries present there.
