During the last week of July 2014, a year and a half of changes made by Damian Yerrick to the article Website/Cracked on TV Tropes between June 2012 and November 2013 were extracted from the article's history on TV Tropes, integrated into the Cracked.com work page, and crosswicked in the respective trope pages.
