So, I've decided to make a Contributor page for myself, and as such, I decided to make a forum post. When I click the link from the handle though, I get redirected to the page for The Pretender, the TV show. After that, I decide to make a page through the Wiki Sandbox, which made a new page, but it still seems to be linked to the tv show's page.
In short, I was wondering if anyone can help me with making a Contributor page that is not connected to the show's page (so that way I don't make an edit that causes catastrophe)?

The page Point-and-Laugh Show is formatted at the top with YMMV and Moment icons like it is a work page even though it is a show genre page. How do you fix this?

Oh dear, it appears that the user miru has deleted the summary paragraphs for American Kirby Is Hardcore for some reason.
Edit: Oh, it appears to have been an accident. False alarm, I guess?

Pizzamancer can't spell, and his grammar is atrocious bordering on incoherent in places. In addition he doesn't seem to be able to properly link trope pages and is leaving random redlinks in his wake.

Know I mentioned their posting in the past, but could someone maybe send a PM to Puretide 677. They are still adding examples that don't fit tropes and leaving odd, tracty edit reasons- just check out the one for Sadist Show. Wow, just wow.
Edit- To be fair, they do have some normal examples.

Trying to make the Dynasty Warriors character page an index so it makes it easy to go from one page to the next. I set the page as an index but its not working.... a little help?
EDIT: NVM I got it.

Sort of an Edit War going on in Strawman Has a Point. Kalaong seems to be using it as an Author Tract.

I have what I think would make a decent image for a page that doesn't have one, but when I went to put it in Image Pickin', I noticed that all the threads were about changing existing images, not adding ones to pictureless articles. Do I just go ahead and add it, or should I still put it in Image Pickin'?

On the related page for "Not Making This Up" Disclaimer, it links to a page called X 2 X. This page is empty and has nothing in its recent history. It's also not on the recently cut pages list. What's up with that?
Tommypezmaster has been making edits with some problems in spelling and grammar and which also often seem to be questionable (e.g. that don't actually fit the trope).
