Clueless Contributor

"Hey! Mr. and Mrs. Contributor! Way to name your kid!"

—Strong Bad, Strong Bad Email, "rock opera" (responding to email from 'Anonymous Contributor')

He may have good ideas and excellent material to add to a Wiki, but he can't be bothered with formatting it properly. The Clueless Contributor sometimes seems to go out of his way to ignore page templates, style guidelines, markup advice built into the editing page, and even inline hints—it just comes out of his brain through his fingers and into the edit box with no oversight. Who cares if Every third word Is capitalized, punctuation. is essentially! random, the first word of every paragraph is in bold, or obvious links to other wiki pages aren't formed properly? He doesn't. The Clueless Contributor can't be bothered with such trivialities. He just spews and moves on.

Back on That Other Tropes Wiki, Clueless Contributors have a habit of responding to the "Describe [new trope] here" line instead of deleting it. Since All The Tropes doesn't have such a prompt, we are spared one of their bad habits.

Often combined with Parabombing.
