All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXX
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXX
One small thing regarding ilovecakes: They often put the italics marks inside the wikilink instead of outside it (breaking the wikilink). I was planning on leaving a message about it, but I’ve had a hard time feeling confident in not scaring them off over something like that, since otherwise they tend to follow the style guide. I was planning on leaving a message like this:

“Hello,

Thank you for your contributions! I just wanted to let you know in your edit to ___ that you included work italics inside the link like so [[''___'']]. The correct formatting is ''[[___]]'', which keeps the link working.

Happy editing!
"

I’m sorry I didn’t bring this up sooner. I should have been more forward.

Oh, no problem. Even though they've been promoted, just keep banging at them until they stop doing it.

Okay, now I'm confused. Just as soon as we promote "Ilovecakes", a new user called "Ilovecake" is created and starts posting?

Did a little crossreferencing, and it appears to be the same user. The edits look fine, but it appears to be an alt account, albeit a harmless one. Not sure why it was created, but we should probably ask.

And point out that the alt account doesn't have the privileges that the older account has.

They said they forgot their password.

There’s some sort of password reset, right?

If they provided a working email address, yes. https://allthetropes.org/wiki/Special:PasswordReset
