Cleaning up NightmareFuel wicks

Okay, so recently NightmareFuel has been customed titled to Accidental Nightmare Fuel. This is not really the place to comment on that, but I myself approve.

However, this looks really weird when you edit a page as it looks like it's alphabeticised incorrectly. As such, I'm starting this thread to get help slowly change wicks from NightmareFuel to AccidentalNightmareFuel. While we're doing this, we may as well fix examples meaning to point to High Octane Nightmare Fuel.

Unless anyone objects, I'm going to move NightmareFuel to AccidentalNightmareFuel soon.

Bumping this thread, since the crowner asking for the rename/split of Nightmare Fuel was called in favour of cleanup.

I make it about four years that the Nightmare Fuel madness has been swirling around us all. Let's admit nobody wants to put in the work to fix this, drop the examples pages, lock the definitions and move on with our lives.

If I understand correctly, we're giving an Example Sectionectomy?

If so, I'm okay with it.

Yup. The examples have been bickered over, reclassified, reclassified again, bickered over some more ... "I know, lets tweak the definitions!" ... the definitions have been bickered over, then reset, causing the examples to become an issue again ... and on and on.

Alright then, I'll handle the sectionectomies if it's okay. Should I redirect the subpages to the main page when they have considerable inbounds?

Gotcha. I'm on it.

By the way, we'll have to be ready for the outcry.

Sooo, I don't know what's up, but apparently the cutlist hates me. Even with copy pasting the source, ARIA gives me a "does not exist" message.

So I guess all I can do is request the cut here.

We're going to have to find all the Nightmare Fuel and Accidental Nightmare Fuel namespaced pages and cut them, then.

I've already started on redirects, and put a crapload of pages on the cutlist. But I need help because there are a lot of subpages.

If anyone wants, start from the bottom. I'm currently sweeping Film. There's so much there it sucks.

Do we want to make those with high inbounds redirect to Nightmare Fuel? It seems to me people may be annoyed if they come here for examples and find an example-less definition, but inbounds are inbounds.

Also, is there a way to find the un-indexed Nightmare Fuel and Accidental Nightmare Fuel namespaced pages?

You guys wanted to keep them, but wanted someone else to do the work necessary to do so. What did you expect would happen?

Thanks, Eddie.

They were not fine. They were misused, mistaken for HONF, full of first person and This Troper nonsense, natter, and in general broken. You guys voted to keep them and clean them up. Twice. No one is cleaning them up.

Advertising and Anime are now redirects.

*shrug* You want nice things? Take care of them. Don't expect others to do it for you. Or at least don't whine when they get taken away.

Your vote needs to be backed up by actions if you want nice things. I was one of the people who argued against cutting. And all I see is no one bothering to take responsiblity. Thus, comments on Eddie's maturity are not something you can afford.

Thumped: This post has been thumped with the mod stick. This means knock it off.

Please do not quote posts that have been thumped.

Just to be clear: We're keeping the definitions. They'll just be locked.

I think he just didn't notice it after the thump.

Um, Eddie, at how many inbounds would you say we should turn to redirect instead of cutting? Keep in mind, a lot of redirects are gathering...
