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
for ongoing cleanup projects.
It would be an edit war if you added Prawn to the list in the first place. Otherwise, it's not technically an edit war, as far as I know. You have my support for readding the example.
Is the game in question part of the same Canon as the cartoon? If not, then I believe the example can be safely added back.
^ Technically, it isn't. There was an official statement by Vincent Waller (one of the key directors of the show) that the game is not canon to the series, but even that's been removed by the troper. Even then, Prawn never appeared in the show, so his canon status is really dubious at best.

I just got an update from someone I've been talking to via PM. As it turns out, Vincent Waller is rather vague with series canon and doesn't really confirm nor deny about what is considered canon. With this in mind, I think DokiOkie actually made a good call with removing Canon Foreigner and Canon Discontinuity here, as neither have been officially confirmed.
EDIT: Here's Vincent's tweet: https://twitter.com/VincentWaller72/status/1245772787190345733
.
A troper named DokiOkie removed Canon Foreigner from Prawn's entry on SpongeBob SquarePants: Video Game Characters as well as the SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom page. I tried discussing with them via PM about why Prawn qualifies for the trope because he never actually appeared in the show, but I never got a response back in two days, and their edit history
shows they're not interested in discussion.
Should I revert their edits and restore the Canon Foreigner example? Or would that qualify as an Edit War?
