Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
It's also not really serving the normal function of a Recap page, which is to host sub-works of a serialized work like a TV series. I agree with just cutting it.
While not supported, what is a normal function is still talked about
.
But leaning on cutting in this case.

I'd say that plagiarism is plagiarism, even if the work you plagiarised has been rewritten later. The Wikipedia article was published with a certain wording and that wording was plagiarised. What happened to the Wikipedia article later is immaterial.
Plagiarising an older version of something is still plagiarism.
Fair enough; feels as though there are enough votes in favour to count as a consensus here, so I've put it on the cut list.
Question on cutlisting plagarised page
Recently, I ran across Recap.Lock Stock And Two Smoking Barrels, which was created by an editor who was suspended for large scale plagiarism and subsequently perma-banned for ban evasion several years ago. This article is one of many they copy/pasted wholesale from Wikipedia (it's only been edited once since then, with very minor tweaks to the wording).
However, the Wikipedia plot summary for the film has been heavily re-written in the four years since the Recap/ page was plagiarised from it. Should the page still be cut for consisting almost entirely of plagiarised content?
