Cleanup help needed

My only familiarity with the game is through You Tube, but Tales of Xillia needs a lot of fixing ASAP. First-person voice, a small degree of complaining, and trope misuse (a character decided not to be a Creator's Pet in the cleanup thread is still listed as one). It's not horrible, but it does need work.

Pokémon has its own page for Game-Breaker now, yet several pages and subpages of the franchise still list examples that sometimes aren't even on that page.

I suppose all we need is to copy extra examples there and link from subpages to the main one?

Page needs a soft split anyway for the comp stuff.

Okay, I don't know if this is the right place to do this, but it was the closest I could find. This page needs some serious help: The Minkiad.

It mostly seemed to be posted by someone called Red Auburn and they really seem to have issues with formatting. I went through and started trying to fix some basic things a little, but I only made it down to the "C" tropes before surrendering for the moment. If anyone wants to help straighten out the rest of the alphabet, that would be great. And if this is the wrong place to post this, I apologize. I normally fix this stuff myself when I come across it, but this is just too much for one person to handle in a reasonable amount of time.

Found another terribly written fanfic, Fanfic.Pretty Cure All Stars. I believe pages written like this make the wiki look bad.

WebVideo.Classic Alice is full of ZCE's.

Upstart Crow was created on the 17th by Last_Hussar and apart from maybe the work page description, they appear to have got nothing right about how to format a work page.

YMMV.Doctor Who S 35 E 12 Hell Bent needs looking at, several examples are entering Wall of Text territory.

YMMV.X Men is filled with Natter, Example Indentation, as well as several Zero Context Examples.

Intercourse with You is a mess of zero-context examples, natter, This Troper, bad indentation, word cruft & shoehorning.

Lagoon Lounge needs a complete overhaul. I don't have time to do it myself.

Persona 3 is so full of This Troper, it's not even funny. Gonna need some serious first-person writing cleanup, but I'm not sure how much I can do myself.

UPDATE: Cleaned up what I could. I don't think I've seen a page this bad since Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows or Titanic (prior to getting cleaned up by someone else).

Evernight is loaded with formatting problems, zero context examples, bad example indentation, poor spelling, and the examples need to be crosswicked.

I think the YMMV page for Star Trek: Enterprise needs a going over.

A previously banned user by the name of Johnnyfog, namingway and more recently Dr Romoray, had a habit of inserting very biased and opinionated natter and complaining, as well as quotes from various sci-fi/pop-culture review blogs into the page.

Ah, he went beyond quote pages? That's just lovely.

Many examples on All Adult Animation Is South Park are written like they belong on a YMMV page. Some of them have YMMV links as well.

Alphabetization on The Society On Da Run is all over the place.

@Anddrix: You should bring that up in Ask the Tropers.

@Morgenthaler The Society On Da Run has been alphabetized!

Every Helicopter Is a Huey is another example of tropers can't read, since it's about UH-1 Hueys appearing as generic helicopters when something else would be more appropriate, yet many examples are "work features a Huey", or "work doesn't feature a Huey", the latter being explicitly prohibited to avoid turning into a list of aircraft.

The Black Hawk Down example is particularly obnoxious, since Hueys weren't used (aside from a single civilian version used by the Royal Moroccan Air Force).

Asbestos-Free Cereal needs looking into. It was noted in the Real-Life thread to have issues with complaining, natter, general examples, and redundancy.

For the record, it was run through the crowner, and it was decided that Real Life examples will be kept.

Evil Chancellor has a subsection of chancellors who are not evil, when that is covered by The Good Chancellor. Most of the examples there are also on The Good Chancellor anyway, so I think it's safe to cut.

You mean to move all exceptions from Evil Chancellor to The Good Chancellor, and then cut that exception section?

Um... is this where I report the issue I see? The page for What Dreams May Come (Robin Williams afterlife movie) calls the main character (I assume) both Chris and Christy, all through the page. I assume Christy is an error but I haven't seen the movie and maybe it's just a similarly named character or a nickname for the main character.

But if it's supposed to be Chris, well, that page needs a lot of corrections. And actually, if it's not an error, a little note to that effect would be nice.

About halfway down the examples list is this one:

> Gender-Blender Name: Chris is nicknamed Christy,

If it's correct, it explains the mixed naming. Still needs to be unified on one or the other, though,

WesternAnimation.Ben 10 is kind of a mess. There are numerous Zero Context Examples, a bunch of YMMV mentions, and Natter.

One Piece is absolutely full of Natter, Repair Dont Respond, This Troper, and people signing their entries like it's Dethroning Moment of Suck. It's so bad that I can't possibly clean it all up by myself.

Regarding Evil Chancellor: As I said, most of the examples are duplicates anyway. Further, it seems pointless to list inversions of a trope when another trope is its inverse.
