<upd_detl>I started of my search without finding what I was looking for. Then I found a likely promotion [元どおり 【もとどおり】 the way it was (used be); WI1] in the combined and I tried to submit as follows:-

Google hits are reasonable. It was in the text which I was reading and in context it balances.
You have "元" and the suffix in the dictionary so maybe one could say, "work it out for yourself", this is a dictionary not a guide book. However, I am not sure that I would get the above meaning without first knowing what it was. In any event, every bit of help is appreciated by the novice.
You have quite a few other similar examples in the main dictionary and some help in the combined, and one RH for deletion if you did promote, e.g.,
元どおり 【もとどおり】 (?) ???; RH 
元どおりに 【？】 back again; WI4 
元どおりにする 【？】 (vt) to fix; undo; fix up; get ~ back together (again); put ~ back in place; put ~ back together; WI4 
元どおりになる 【？】 be restored to its former state; get back together (again); recover from; WI4


Upon submitting, I got the warning about this entry.

Two valuable points: one, your warning note is often helpful when making a submission; two, happily from my point of view, this was already an entry, save for the added reading.

I really value your dictionary.</upd_detl>
