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.
Do you think this is the way to go about this?
When you added tropes, were there at least three of them, and did they have the proper context? If not, that still would have made it a stub. You can recreate the page if you have a good description and at least three tropes with proper context. Or at least you can work on the page in a sandbox until it has that much.
v I checked the cut list and it only had that cut reason listed.
Edited by mightymewtron I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
If this page was cut once before, then the Cut List will only show that first cut reason. It's a known bug. The page may have been cut for a different reason.
Well, he should AT LEAST give me a draft copy of the edits I made for a sandbox, but he just deleted it like trash.
^ If you ask nicely, the mods usually agree with that sort of thing.

Mod's message description:
"Subject: Your recent edit for: Colonia Contra Ataca
Please do not add Needs Wiki Magic Love to pages. Even adding the Administrivia/ link is right out if it's not on an official policy page. The page and its subpages will be cut due to having no tropes for two years."
Well, I can agree for his NWML argument, but in other words, he acted like "forget your crappy contributions, do a way better article next time."

I think you're reading way too much into this. You expect him to know that you planned to add more tropes even though you didn't make a sandbox for the page, and you seem to be taking this way too personally. You're getting angry at people who are trying to help you.
At this point do you actually want assistance or do you just want to rant?
Berrenta is a woman.
But anyway, yeah, linking to Needs Wiki Magic Love as soon as you create the page is generally seen as lazy; it comes off as you wanting other people to do the work for you. If you want to mark a page as a work-in-progress that shouldn't be deleted as a stub, you can make it in the Sandbox/ namespace, and there's a forum thread
you can use to get feedback on it before you properly publish it. You could even take it to the Trope Launch Pad if you want.
But once you post a work page to the wiki outside of the designated work-in-progress areas, it is subject to the same standards as every other works page.

Also, it's frowned upon to publicly show private messages. It's okay to paraphrase them as long as it's really necessary.

Note: This page was cut for reason: Stub work page with no tropes for two years.
Except the fact that I was adding tropes since yesterday, and mod Berrenta DELETED EVERYTHING I MADE on it, just because of an inactive troper who made the page before me, and his edit was a stub, not mine.
