You need to add the "&more=t" part to the second URL. Here is a working link.

But yeah, he needs to know that if a page is listed as NRLEP but has real life examples, the correct action is to delete the RL folder, not remove it from NRLEP.

I've summoned him.

He was also just recently in Edit/Banned for other questionable behavior. I'd say a mod definitely needs to get a look here.

He's also been adding explanatory text to why the tropes are in the list. If he's not going through the clean-up thread, do those edits need to be checked to see if that's the correct reason for why they're NRLEP?

If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.

^ I noticed that too, when I have time later on tonight I'll go through his edits and make sure. Then go through and remove the RL folders if that hasn't been done already.

Troper has deleted another example, I've sent a notifier, but this will be a while untangling as they seem to have gone through many of the NRLEP indexes.

Alright tropers! I will not do that again! 😂😂😂😂😂 Yeah! I've learned my lesson that I should remove "Real life" folders and not removing examples in "No Real Life Examples, Please!". Could you please just tell me where to discuss?

If you think a trope's NRLEP status is questionable, please post at the "Real Life section maintenance" thread.

I'm back!

There's a Real Life cleanup/discussion thread in the Long-Term/Perpetual cleanup section of the forums. While your response feels...unorthodox, to say the least, hopefully you've been able to learn your lesson.

Edit: Ninja'd, but I won't let it get to me.

^^^ It might help if you just stop editing the indexes altogether, you seem to have done a few more since responding here. We still have to undo the whole mess you left.

EDIT: FYI, this is the total damage: You added -

You deleted -

They recently deleted Badass Beard as well. Before then, they added Gravity Is a Harsh Mistress and The Vamp.

If a mod is checking this, they're still editing the NRLEP indexes ...
