All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part III

[GethN7]

@robkelk: thanks for the new category, makes cleanup a lot easier

Second as for the Wikipedia thing, I'm astounded at the conclusions they are reaching. They are apparantly at the consensus TVT links/citations should not be allowed at all, but the reasons are for WP policy, not legality, even though both apply (regardless, their focus only seems to be on the first item)

Further, maybe I'm wrong, but I doubt anyone is actually going over the pages where the links/citations are used and why, merely seeing it's a wiki link and falling back on policy reasons why it shouldn't exist at all. I also doubt anyone is actually checking to see if TV Tropes really is in violation of copyright/licensing, as that already seems to be ignored althougth it would seem to me to be quite relevant to the topic at hand......

Basically, I'm throwing my hands up in air here at this point on that.

Oh dear, that does look like a problem, not sure if I want to keep using them myself knowing this.

However, good news. Our stability is returning to ATT, and our forums/talk pages had their contents restored, the other problems, if any, will be cleared up soon.
