Pages Needing Wiki Magic criteria/problems

Note, justinmcmahan198849 has been suspended.

Is the reason related to their edits on Pages Needing Wiki Magic?

Should we delete all their additions?

For edit warring over removing Characters/ and Creators/.

I don't know what to say: [1]

Oy, yeah, ATT that shit.

What do we have to do before we swap in the sandbox? I forgot.

Getting the sandbox as empty as possible with only problems remaining that really don't fit subindexes. Admittedly, I've got a bit discouraged because more "needs everything" and "needs more help" keep getting added while we've agreed these are too vague to show what magic is needed and should be more specific, even if they have to use multiple subindexes.

I was considering locking the sandbox to prevent from adding more to it. Would that work? I can try doing the rest of the work myself from there.

EDIT: I went ahead and locked the sandbox. I'll go through it tomorrow.

From this ATT I have queried:

About Hostess Fruit Pies, which was cutlisted some time ago for not having examples, should it be restored since its old handle, Delicious Fruit Pies, had examples, likely referencing and parodying the pies?

Was the reason Hostess Fruit Pies was cutlisted because the examples from Delicious Fruit Pies weren't transferred?

I don't know if this thread is the right place for this (even though the Cut List pointed here for some reason). We didn't discuss cutting that page here . Also, Delicious Fruit Pies was about fruit pie parodies in media and looked like a trope. I am not sure if that fits on an advertising page.

Cutlisted a few more tropeless conductors and migrated the singer-actors that I could from the tropeless works section of Works Needing Tropes. Should I think of giving most of the rest the axe?

Oh yeah, and there's also the conundrum that the two tropeless websites are platforms rather than works per se. What should be done?

I don't know what the rest of the conductor's pages look like but if they are tropeless, we can cut them.

As for the platforms, we can probably get rid of their listings on the index.

Anyways, to put more attention on Pages Needing Wiki Magic. I believe I removed most if not all of the "needs more of everything" entries. Is there more to do? I was considering making a note telling people to be more specific about what the page needs but that's about it.

There are stuff like "Needs more magic", "Needs love", "Needs everything", "Needs a bit of everything", "Needs a lot of things". I'm also thinking moving the "Creators/Actors" and "Useful Notes" folders to Pages Needing A Better Description.

Aside that I think it may just need a casual glance, a note to be specific about issues yes, and probably safe to move to Administrivia.Pages Needing Wiki Magic.

Given how long this has been dragging on, I'd be tempted to put a note on the Discussion pages citing the stub rule and stating that if tropes aren't added they're at risk of the cutlist.

If tropers watching the pages react in a week or two and add tropes, great. If there's still nothing by, say, start of July - cut.

Worth noting a few complications- some have Awesome Music subpages, at least one has a Creator page redirecting to Music

Swapped in the sandbox for Administrivia.Pages Needing Wiki Magic and unlocked the page.

I think we can safely dispose of all subpage and character sheet entries.

Yes. I should've clarified.
