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.
I don't know if there's justification to restore the page when only three out of the 33 or so Artifact Weapons were sapient, four of you count the Blood Death Knight's weapon emoting near Kil'jaeden. It would probably better to take their specific sections and add them to another page. Maybe roll them into their respective class folders in Characters.Warcraft Player Characters, or create a Sapient Artifact Weapon section in Characters.Warcraft Others.
The Shadow Priest weapon, at least, has a place in Characters.Warcraft The Old Gods.

Either I'm blind, or I don't see Xal'athath there. She was definitely the first one that sprung to mind, but Aluneth should definitely also be moved to either Aegwynn's tab, or the arcane spectrum's. Either way, is there a way to see the page as it was before it was cut? The history is empty, and so is the page itself, so can't copy/paste from either.
If there is, this would make it unnecessary to restore it.

My bad, I didn't mean Xal'atath was there, just that she could be.
Thal'kiel could probably go to the Burning Legion's page.

Xal'atath definitely belongs on the Old Gods page, especially since it was revealed that she wasn't actually a sapient weapon, but an Old God imprisoned in one.

So how do we do that? Can we do it without restoring the page first?
I think the next step would be to make a Wiki Talk thread. This topic is a little too large for Ask The Tropers.

Nothing is happening in the wiki talk thread. How do we proceed?
The page Warcraft The Artifact Weapons was cut because quote: "We shouldn't be giving a CHARACTER page to a bunch of inanimate objects."
That's fair, but the problem here is that some of the 'objects' are sapient weaponry with character traits of their own, some of which have manifested physical avatars and one of which have been transferred into a physical humanoid body. And these characters were not transferred to other pages where they belong. The page was cut without a chance to do this.
I would like for the page to be restored to pre-cut, at least until this can be rectified.
