Right edits for the wrong reason[edit]

While you're justified in removing all those TV Tropes links, you have persistently cited the wrong reason. "Fancruft" has nothing to do with why we shouldn't have those links; as a reading of the relevant page would show, it's about adding arcana that doesn't really explain more about the subject.

TV Tropes cannot be used as a source since, as an open wiki, it is unreliable; likewise those links in the xlinks section violate criterion No. 12 of WP:ELNO.

It might be a good idea if you went back to every article you have removed the link from (which is, I see, basically every article you've edited today) and made a null edit clarifying the proper reason for the removal. I know this sounds like a superfluous request, but when making an edit like that soundly based on policy it's important to cite the right policy reason, as there are unfortunately people who might perceive you as a vandal or disruptive for doing so. Citing the right reason helps cut down on edit wars and other needless disputes. Daniel Case (talk) 19:50, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Daniel Case: Well, it is tedious, but so was me editing 50+ articles just to remove that website from it, and the overall plan to comb 100+ through the week, so I guess I'll go back and add null edits then.

Just so I don't make another mistake, I say "TV Tropes is an unreliable source per WP:RS|unreliable" and/or "WP:ELNO" in each new summary right? 2603:7000:1F00:6B91:7D96:D0FE:31F0:6D3D (talk) 20:53, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, depending. Actually, you know what ... just do that in the future. You don't need to go back, I think ... it doesn't seem like anybody's getting mad and reverting this. Daniel Case (talk) 21:11, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Daniel Case: Sure, btw are you in a position of authority in Wikipedia? and do you mind helping me clear references to the website on protected pages like List of Lilo & Stitch characters? 2603:7000:1F00:6B91:7D96:D0FE:31F0:6D3D (talk) 21:43, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
