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

Just tested this by sending myself a grammar issue notifier. Can confirm Sammetik's claim that the link leads to a 404 error.
However, deleting the front part of the link (and the ' at the front of the URL), along with the %27 character at the end of the URL, makes the link work again.
i.e.
https://tvtropes.org/'https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=b9tcd2k65789p1pglrd92nvr%27 => doesn't work
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=b9tcd2k65789p1pglrd92nvr
=> works
doublepost, but this should probably be on Query Bugs as well.
It's been like this for quite some time, and it's probably already on the bug list.
These days, I usually copy and paste the url and send it along with the default message.
Too bad that the text format in PM is a little off, so it look somewhat messy.
Hint: I just tried send a notifier to myself, turn out that url doesn't automatically turn into link in PM, so no need to use the no wiki code.
I think I might have succeeded in debugging this one.

I sent a troper a grammar issue notifier a few days ago, and they just messaged me back that the included link didn't work. I followed the link myself and found that yeah, it leads to a 404 error.
