All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXVIII

[robkelk]

Can I please get second opinions on this edit in the Moderation Queue?  There's nothing big that automatically merits a rejection, but it has a lot of little things -- some HTML code inserted (or even replacing wiki markup), a lot of examples just inserted wherever in their relevant sections instead of at the ends... nothing that by itself would automatically earn a rejection but... does the combination qualify?

Thanks.

Ouch.

It looks like the edits were made in Microsoft Word, considering the last new link on the page.

At the very least, we need to ask that troper to read the Style Guide.

I'd say "too much work needed to bring the page back into accordance with the Style Guide" and reject with the usual message.

Guys, I just came across another edit by a different user with the same kind of HTML inserts -- could we be looking at another thing related to the MediaWiki 1.40, like the visual editor issue Bauerbach reported on my talk page? It's a bit of a coincidence for two unrelated users to suddenly start showing the same strange issue.

There's another possibility: Microsoft Office Word Add-in For MediaWiki -- current version 1.0.0, published 27/10/2010.

MS Office tends to produce bloated documents with just this sort of markup.

We may have to classify this add-in as software that breaks the wiki...
