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

Gave Doctor Who another polish (kind of pathetic after Rabukurafuto's herculean effort) and wiped Doctor Who. Please tell me if I did something wrong: it's the first time I've done this sort of stuff. Many of the listed examples should probably go under Fridge Horror, but that's another story.
I think we're supposed to be moving HONF to NF, not the other way around!
Going to try and take on House

As I said before, if there is an ANF or NF page that got cut that you are willing to clean and I can get the source from, I will be happy to provide it.
Looks good to me. I love how you're an Apologetic Natter Exterminator.

Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.Pokemon's NF page has already been handled. I don't think we need to merge all of the Pokemon NF pages into one though.
Well, deleting things outright is just rude. I like that title.
Is it possible to redirect a page without losing the discussion, or should I wait until the mods can get round to moving it (the discussion, I mean)? Additional: the mods are fantastic. Either it took them five minutes or time's passing much faster than I notice.

Just cleaned up Event Horizon.
High Octane Nightmare Fuel is still listed as an independent subpage (in the list of subpages down the left hand side).
According to the bar at the bottom none of the new Nightmare Fuel pages are indexed, though they are listed on the corresponding indices. I thought a redirect would fix that automatically, but it doesn't seem to be the case. Help?
Redirects don't automatically put the new page on indices. You have to do it manually.
That being said, it's better you replace the index first and then make the redirect. Although, indexing has been funny on me too, since Elfen Lied and Naruto still appear indexless for some reason.

I'm back! Oh, and also, I'm the one who's handling the Pokémon article. But I'm not finished with it. Getting there though!
Also, sorry to bother you guys, but... any news on my two requests? Leaving Kirby to me (and while we're at it, DonkeyKongCountry as well) and using the ANF Giygas image for EarthBound?
While you answer my question, I'm going back to work with Pokémon. Wish me luck!

I'm from Piedmont. No relation with Piedmon, mind you!I'm cleaning up Video Games. Just tackled Mother. That one really wrecked my pecs.
Good Luck!

You Are Not Alone...Until I Find You.Evulzboy, can you keep the less blurry image not-from-the-HONF Mother page? That's what I meant.
Also, thanks! Almost done with the second-to-last-folder.
[EDIT: quitting sooner than expected due to the aforementioned "mom bitching because of being unable to sleep with my light on" thing I explained yesterday. See you tomorrow, the Pokémon page is almost finished.]

I'm from Piedmont. No relation with Piedmon, mind you!Adventure Time has both an ANF and a HONF page, but they are exactly the same, so one needs to be removed. (which I don't know how to do.) I would say the ANF page, because most of the things in that show are intended to be scary, which the creators confirm.
But Regular Show had an ANF page that had all the other examples outside of the Halloween special, so it would be cool if someone could grab them from the nonexistent ANF page somehow and put on the HONF page.
Creator of the planet Vexus and DSBT Insani T.Moved, sorted and cleaned The Sarah Jane Adventures and Sherlock. Whoof. Don't mind me, I'm just off to write disturbing graffiti on my walls. Good luck, people.
Btw, are you cutlisting your HONFs? I've put redirects on the ones I moved, since it's likely people will type the old name in by accident, but that means the buttons and menu items are still there — I'm assuming they'll be removed once this whole business is finished, right?
Additional: cleaned and moved The Sarah Connor Chronicles but I know nothing about the series, so I'd be grateful if someone could give it a quick shuftie.

I cleaned up the HONF page for AVP.
It's a good thing our last name isn't Drew, because then you'd be Nancy Drew and I'd be Andrew Drew. -Andy Botwin@vexusdylan - You'd make both a redirect to NightmareFuel/AdventureTime. You do that by replacing all the text on the page with [[redirect:NightmareFuel/AdventureTime]].

Just about to finish off the transplantation of genre subpages.

I now go by Graf von Tirol.Hey, guys? Don't holler to have cutlisted or cutlist a page with more than 10 inbounds, please. Just make it a redirect. You can check inbounds with the related button.
@Joe: This is really the last time I'm repeating this - I would be happy to recover the contents of cut pages if I can as long as you're planning to clean them.

Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.General Nightmare Fuel question, should there be spoiler-tags or a SPOILERS AHEAD warning? This is my first cleanup job and I'm doing the best I can with the Criminal Minds page.
Momentum, a function of mass and velocity, is conserved between portals. In layman's terms: speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out.Alan Wake, Alien and Alien Vs Predator have had their HONF pages redirected to NF and re-namespaced on the indexes.
I'm not gonna be here tomorrow and Thursday, so you know. Let's keep up the good work!
The Protomen enhanced my life.^^ It's really up to you. They're usually spoilers-on pages, but if that makes the whole page blacked out, then I've seen them go spoilers-off. If it's going to be a spoilers-off page, it needs a bolded warning at the top.
Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.Thanks for the tip. I'll do what I can.

Alright, I think I can do that. I'll help clear the Pokemon entry of natter and stuff, and then move that into HONF.
Speaking of Pokemon, shouldn't we merge Black and White and Mystery Dungeon's Entries into a single Pokemon topic?
