How did this happen? DarkMatterMan4500 without membership in Automoderated created a brand new page in the Main namespace which just happened to be a complete cut'n'paste from TVT, with pretty much no effort at a conversion to MediaWiki markup. It wasn't sent to the mod queue.
I have deleted the page and I'm about to drop him a note, but what the hell happened here?

I haven't yet; I noticed something. As it turns out, DarkMatterMan4500 has been a member of the wiki since before the Moderation system (by a few months); he just was never grandfathered in. I wonder if that's why the Mod system isn't intercepting him, whether that's the way it should work or not. Anyway, I gave him temporary (24-hour) autopatrolled and automoderated. I'll let it expire and see if his edits go to the Mod Queue afterwards. If not, something bigger is wrong; otherwise, it's a less significant problem.
Regardless, once the experiment is over, I'll will grant those rights permanently as a belated grandfathering.

I’m not sure if we do checkusers off of gut feelings, but the posting style/interests of LNZOTTVK reminds me a bit of HLIAA14YOG. That said, I’m not very confident in this observation - It feels more likely to be them than a typical new user, but I’m not dead sure of it, or even 50/50 sure of it, if that makes sense.

It's him, just sent you the proof via PM. I'll deal with this myself.

Wow, the Lint Error estimates are off. As of this posting:
"Missing end tag" estimate: 11,609
"Missing end tag" actual: 3,179
