Your mama may have had eyes in the back of her head, but our admin team just can't see everything at once. It takes a village to make sure TVTropes is running the way it should, so when it comes to spotting tech snafus, dreaming up a better digital mousetrap, or just diagnosing plain old asshattery, the quicker you let us know something's up, the quicker we can address it. See a bug? Point to it and we'll squash it. Have idea for a new feature? Post in the Tech Wishlist.
NOTE: Do not post duplicate bug queries, please check existing queries to see if your issue has already been reported and then comment on it.

Engineers currently have a mismatch on their "Add/Fix Title" permissions. This tool is used to correct wikilinks in thread titles (e.g. for Image Pickin' and Trope Repair Shop).
When a mod or engineer selects the "Add/Fix Title" option from the "Options" menu on an in-scope thread, this should launch the "Make/Alter Article Connection" screen, allowing them to edit the linked article name and then save their changes.
However, as it stands, for engineers:
- The "Options" menu is displayed for threads within in-scope subforums.
- The "Add/Fix Title" menu option is displayed within "Options", and can be selected.
- ...but if an engineer is using this option, they're intercepted by a blocking message. The "alert-mod" modal triggers, and the displayed message states that: "This page is only for moderators. Try something else".
This feature works correctly for moderators.Expected behaviour
Either Engineers should be able to use this feature without errors, or the "Options" menu and/or "Add/Fix Title" links should ideally be suppressed so that they can't start the process and don't hit the blocking message. Edited by Mrph1
