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.

Well, if the change has already been made, then I’d say wait (not that I totally agree with the decision to remove them in the first place, but I see their reasoning). If it’s inevitable that the folders will be added anyways, then there’s no rush, right?

1. I think you just confessed to perpetrating an Edit War, which is a bit of an issue.
2. They're right to delete the folders - even if the volumes aren't in production, they're not out yet. For Moments pages, we only care about what's already out, so the folders will be added when the volumes come out and there's something to add to them.
It looks like you were adding completely empty folders. Myself, I wouldn't add folders until there is something to put in them first.

I have removed the folders once, but you re-added all of them back, so you were technically in an Edit War until I DM'ed you about it.
An empty folder is of no value to anyone. That much we can agree on, no?

Okay, I'll wait until the volume is out
In addition to what other people have said, it's worth remembering that these are Moments pages not Recap pages. There is no guarantee an episode will have a Moments reaction. Moments are not scene summaries or character reactions. They are a specific kind of audience reaction.
Episodes are not guaranteed to be eligible for a page entry. We don't wait for an episode to come out because we're not troping the episode. We wait for a specific audience reaction because we're troping the audience reaction. If the audience doesn't react in the relevant way, there is no example to add, and the episode will not belong on the page.

I'm trying to make folders for the upcoming 9th volume of Web Series 'RWBY' on its Awesome, Tearjerker, Funny, Heartwarming, Recap and Memes pages and a troper who goes by Ano Baka Desu keeps removing them.
This is despite the fact that Volume 9 was confirmed to be in production almost 6 months ago, which I believe makes their decision to remove the folders redundant seeing as they will inevitably be re-added by the time the Volume starts airing.
Should I re-add the folders now or wait until Volume 9 starts airing?
