Hey, I found a post on KiA about Tv Tropes, it was there that I found out that the "Crowning Moments of Awesome" page for World War 2 was deleted. Link: https://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/6o7fal/community_another_reminder_that_allthetropes_is/
I don't know if you guys know, but is there a way to restore it and the other purge crowning moments for our WW2 page. It just bothered me that got purged.
If you can dig up a pre-July 2012 version of the TV Tropes page off the Wayback Machine, convert it for use here, and add a note in the edit reasons where you got it from, you can go right ahead.
Okay, I found it. I was reading the forums and they said some weird thing that they have no interest in doing any real life "Crowning Moments of Awesome," now I'm thinking that the other historical events' "CMoA" or "Crownings" have been purge as well.

So, another question. How do I dig up something that's archive in Wayback Machine? I don't know the ins and outs of it. Unlike archive. is. Also, how do I convert it, for our use here?
To make it easier on you, start with this:
This is the source of the page, so all you'd need to do is copy it to Notepad (or whatever word processor, or even here in edit view), convert the markup to MediaWiki format, then it's good to go.
You can also get in touch with Labster, he might be able to convert it for you and upload a copy you can work on if you don;t want to do it all by hand, he has a Perl script to automate the process somewhat.
Hey, can you check these pages out to see if I miss anything? Sakura Samurai: https://allthetropes.org/wiki/Sakura_Samurai TW: Butterfly of Transformation: https://allthetropes.org/wiki/Trope_Workshop:Butterfly_of_Transformation
So, when I'm done with the trope pages that I'm currently doing. I got a question, what about the tropes that appears recently in the other trope wiki? I'm beginning to think that they will restore the "Historian's Fallacy" when I checked their list (I was lurking in the forums talking about "lost" tropes), link: https://web.archive.org/web/20170723230601/http://tvtropes.org:80/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LogicalFallacies?from=Main.YouFailLogicForever
And speaking of lost tropes, how does one restore a trope page that has been purge? When there's little to no evidence of its existence.
Hey, I found these. I know that it's more for the "Censored/Lost" wiki talk forum, but I don't know where to place what I found (I'm gonna see what I can find. Links:
