(I apologise if this isn't the correct place to post this, please move if so)

I was reading the Alien franchise's headscratchers page. I noticed that despite each film being organised into folders, people would still write stuff along the lines of "another one for Aliens:" which feels very redundant. It seems like it is a holdover from before the point where folder organisation was introduced for the article. The same principle applies for headscratcher pages with headings to divide instalments in a franchise, rather than folders. And doubtlessly the same goes for other categories, e.g. Fridge, nightmare fuel etc.

Is it ok for me to delete these redundant indicators? And can I ruthlessly purge stuff which refers to IJBM/JBM etc?

You mean the "another one" stuff? Yeah, that one can go away. Same for anything IJBM-related.

This is my new TVT account. I've seen a great deal of Headscratchers on the Star Wars page which pertain solely or mainly to one film in the series. Is it ok to migrate those to the specific film's HS page? Would certainly declutter the parent article.

In the absence of a veto, I'm going to go ahead and do this.

Yes, you should always try to put the entries for one specific part of a series under the subpages for that particular part, unless they're universal to everything within the franchise.
