Other threads besides trope repair shop can link to the wiki pages.

This is one example. And the page on the wiki links to a discussion that uses this.

[1]

The wiki page link thing is a no, though.

What do you call this then?

I meant that it's something that shouldn't happen.

Somehow it's still displaying the link on the Home Page even though the thread's been deleted. If the tags are going to be that hard to get rid of, I'd support getting rid of this glitch.

While I was initially "what's the problem", I'm now decidedly more against it, simply because of the amount of people who'd use it to troll.

I don't know why the forums shouldn't be more prominently advertised.

Even though it does seem kind of egotistical to (albeit inadvertently) create topics that result in a big advertisement for a frankly insignificant gripe.

^^^ I'd imagine that's because the thread was deleted instead of locked. (Isn't a threadlock what removes the tag?)

Yep it's still there. Oddly enough Good Bad Bugs doesn't have this. I don't think zapping the home page thread was a good idea.

Edit: Ninja'd

Still it does shows us one other bug. Zapping threads does not get rid of the tag.

^^ So it would seem. I barely go to TRS or Image Pickin' so I don't really know how these things work. And agreed that zapping the Home Page thread was a bad idea.

Does this also explain why the Wiki Sandbox still has the trope repair shop discussion tag?

Edit: Oh hey they got rid of it.

What about limiting Repair Shop icons to article pages that are actually editable (unlocked) ?

Ew, my Mooks thread was deleted.

It was a legitimate IJBM.

It may have been, but since you decided to link it to the trope page, it was deleted for pointless screwing with the wiki.

Say Madrugada, was that bug fixed?

I don't know. FE knows about it but I don't know whether he's got a fix in place yet.

It's fixed.

Thanks.
