Nightmare Fuel cleanup

Go To

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:

Add finished pages to the sandbox page so we can keep track.

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?

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.

[up]I think we're supposed to be moving HONF to NF, not the other way around!

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.

[up]Looks good to me. I love how you're an Apologetic Natter Exterminator.

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.

[up][up] Well, deleting things outright is just rude. wink 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.

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.

[up][up][up][up][up][up] (@ strawberry's 129th comment, and @ everyone as well)

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!

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.]

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.

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.

@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]].

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.

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.

Alan Wake, Alien and Alien Vs Predator have had their HONF pages redirected to NF and re-namespaced on the indexes.

^^ 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.
