Ah, the Useful Yellow Rectangle. A rare sighting.

"Here we see the elusive Useful Yellow Rectangle in the wild, a rare spectacle. This specimen is so seldom seen that it has been called a myth..."

Yeah, my first thought was "there's no way that's staying there if it's Wikipedia."

The best way to get around it is to be sly.

There is a WWE wrestler called Baron Corbin that many gave the nickname "Big Banter" early in his career. When I tried to add this nickname, the Wikipedia admins got really shitty, and even banned me. So naturally, I slid "banter" anywhere I could through different VPN's. Thankfully, my change to reference his new "banterous persona" in NXT is still present all these years later.

Many layers to his game" Latest comment: 8 months ago Making fun of an individual's name is a violation of WP:BLP. Attempts to add that or similar jokes will result in a block.

Fair...
