Cause this needs to get done, and a couple of people working on +10,000 wicks just won't cut it.
What needs to be done:
- Clean up every HONF page, removing first person, this troper, context-less examples, etc.
- After being cleaned, move the page to the Nightmare Fuel namespace. If it is locked, you can ask for it to be unlocked here. See How to Move a Page for more information.
- Remove all wicks to Nightmare Fuel, High Octane Nightmare Fuel, and Accidental Nightmare Fuel that do not appear on a YMMV page, a Nightmare Fuel page, or a trope description.
- Change correct High Octane Nightmare Fuel wicks to Nightmare Fuel.
Add finished pages to the sandbox page so we can keep track.
The courtesy links to Related To pages and namespaces:
- Nightmare Fuel wicks
- High Octane Nightmare Fuel wicks
- Accidental Nightmare Fuel wicks
- Nightmare Fuel namespace
- High Octane Nightmare Fuel namespace

Hmmm, I notice that some pages in the sandbox have gathered problems again....that one isn't so bad though, just a bit of mild natter.
"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerMass Effect RP moved and cleaned.
I've done several small pages, most of which needed little work. NightmareFuel.Shadows Of The Damned needs unlocking. Six pages left!
Edit: Oh, someone already posted that one in the Wiki Talk unlocking thread.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.Unlocked.
"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerSkulduggery Pleasant needs unlocking.
Also of note, it's the last page.
Have an , tropers.

I just took care of that one, so this part of the project is done. Tropers, outstanding work. Give yourselves a round of applause or go have a drink, whichever you're legally able to do.
Now, though, the next part of the project kicks in in earnest. We still need to police the HONF wicks that keep trickling in, and the huge, ever-growing list of NF wicks needs to be checked for improper wicking, pot/sinkholing, and wrong usage of the term.
Of note, regarding the first link - the HONF page for Skulduggery Pleasant has been cutlisted, so don't worry with that.

Too bad there's not some way to mark the legitimate uses of Nightmare Fuel on those wicks. Would save a lot of clicking.
Agreed, and making a sandbox page would be problematic because I dunno if it would update like the wick list does.

I hate to be a party pooper, but there are still a number of Nightmare Fuel pages that were not migrated to High Octane Nightmare Fuel and weren't indexed, so they didn't get wiped when Nightmare Fuel did. They still need to be cleaned, and the only way to find them is to cross-reference Nightmare Fuel Pages Cleaned with pages in the NF namespace.
But you guys all deserve a huge pat on the back for what you've done! Great job!
EDIT: I sent award badges to all you guys that worked so hard on this to show our appreciation. If I missed you, please feel free to let me know. I'm a fallible human.

Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up....ccoa, should I send you a badge too?
"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerThanks! I can sleep better now...
It is nice. Thank you.
I bought a few extra, so I suppose I can just use one of those. It seems wrong to give myself an award, though. ^^;
Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.Working on cleaning up the main Nightmare Fuel page for Live-Action TV.
As I said to ccoa via PM, I wanted to give my thanks for giving me the cleanup-related badge despite my efforts ended after nine cleaned-up pages; ccoa's reason for me deserving the badge is the size of those - reportedly "FUBAR'd" - pages (case in point, The Simpsons), to which I ultimately agreed.
I also want to thank, aside from (obviously) the tropers who contributed to the cleanup, the mods who proposed this in the first place, making it possible. Without you, we wouldn't even have a separate wiki for the NF namespace, let alone having it back in the wiki. Considering that when I suggested such a cleanup in Ask The Tropers, back when the NF namespace got wiped out, I got suspended because that complaint was seen as "the last straw"*, the way this cleanup turned out is a significant step up.
Still, I'd like to read Fast Eddie's opinion on this cleanup.

I'm from Piedmont. No relation with Piedmon, mind you!Question for you guys. NightmareFuel.Live Action TV has a lot of folders on it with quite a few examples for each. I'm thinking those folders be better served by moving them to their own Nightmare Fuel page for the series; is there any disagreement on this, or any policy I should be aware of before I do so?
If so, existing examples would be cleaned before moving, of course.
Nope, that's the whole reason we started a Nightmare Fuel namespace, because the example lists were getting so long that individual shows needed splitting off. Go for it.
Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.Thanks...I figured that was the case, but wanted to make sure I wasn't interfering with any other changes that might have come into effect since the clean-up. I'll start working on it.
If anyone needs a hand, feel free to PM me.
I'm from Piedmont. No relation with Piedmon, mind you!We'll definitely want to continue to take a look at the main Nightmare Fuel pages for each subject. Lots of clean-up to be done in most of those, and probably some splitting as well.
That said, I've just finished the Live-Action TV page, and I'm now going to take a nice nap.
Ah...what a nice nap. I'll start work on NightmareFuel.Anime now.

Question on the NightmareFuel.Anime page: I'm coming across a few Hentai examples; I know this isn't a puritanical site, but given the banishment of a majority of those series, do those examples need to be removed from the general page as well? Or are they allowed to remain as part of the YMMV section? Or is this an issue that needs to be addressed towards the P5?
Why do I have so many questions? Will I ever stop ending things with question marks? And what about Scarecrow's brain?

We still don't have a policy on this. It seems that different moderators had different opinions on the topic last time I checked.

According to the sandbox page, it's been cleaned already.
