This page lists specific tropes and works that have ongoing cleanup projects. This may be due to attracting misuse, complaining, gushing, or other issues that run the risk of Trope Decay (in the case of a trope) or misrepresenting a piece of media (in the case of a work).
Some tropes require examples to be added through the cleanup thread; these tropes will be in bold.
For ease of indexing, tropes or works covered in the same cleanup thread will still be listed separately, unless they can be easily summarized by saying "[Trope] and subtropes."
