The indentation on Blood On The Clock Tower is completely messed up...
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.Thankfully, it's not a very large page. I'll fix it.
Edit: Okay, I'm cleaning up and the grammar is also really bad at points.

Current Project: Incorruptible Pure PurenessAlright, cleanup is done and I sent the troper some notifiers.
Current Project: Incorruptible Pure PurenessWhy are the I Thought It Meant subpages indexing their contents? Personally, I don't think they should.
Edit: Turns out there was a bug. It's taken to the appropriate place.

she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportSo many examples on ThatOneBoss.Final Fantasy XIV are Bonus Bosses, which are supposed to be disqualified from the trope...
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.Finally went back to my little cat planet revamp after being reminded about it. Finished the revamp, and will now incorporate the sandbox!
The original style will be given a home in SelfDemonstrating.Cat Planet.

she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportNot sure how to wrap my head around Reynaldo The Assassin. ZCE's? Check. Poor formatting? Check. Natter? Yep, it's there.
she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportI took a stab at it. There might still be more issues.
Also, I cutlisted the YMMV page.

Some help bringing The Trickster down to a realistic size? ~2500 wicks doesn't make sense for something with that many subtropes.
For example, The Chessmaster x The Trickster, they share 488 pages.
Disambig Needed: Help with those issues! tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13324299140A37493800&page=24#comment-576True Crime Obsessed...yikes, that needs help. Some tropes aren't linked, some are out of order, one doesn't exist...
she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportWinnie the Pooh's Home Run Derby has needed some cleaning for a long time; even having taken out most of the constant and borderline complaining quips about the game's difficulty, and having cut tropes that don't actually fit (such as Can't Drop the Hero, Confusion Fu, and Reality Is Out to Lunch), I'm struggling to figure out what to do with four examples:
- Aluminum Christmas Trees: If you've ever seen a pro pitcher throw a knuckleball, you'll know that Owl's pitches (while unquestionably an exaggeration) aren't quite as impossible and "physics-defying" as most players assume. Probably misuse anyway, but I'm still unsure how much Owl's pitches resemble knuckleballs.
- Bizarre and Improbable Ballistics: With baseballs, not bullets. Rabbit's and Owl's pitches move in a blatantly physically impossible way, with Rabbit's pitches moving slowly and then speeding up, and Owl's pitches moving in a zigzagging manner. And yet, even they have nothing on Tigger's pitches, which in midflight become invisible. The trope's description is unclear enough that I don't know how much of this is valid and how much is misuse.
- Fake Difficulty: Tigger's balls turn invisible in mid-air, meaning you have to mostly rely on luck to score a precise hit on them. You can predict when to hit Tigger's balls by watching their angle and speed before they turn invisible; is that still "fake"?
- Nintendo Hard: And how! It starts off really easy, but quickly escalates to a level reached only by few games in existence. What, you thought a game about Winnie the Pooh would be easy? I mostly just don't know how to rephrase this example to be less snarky.
Webcomic.Deviant Art Secret Wars scares me and I don't have the willpower to clean it. It's a mess of ZCEs and broken indentation.
Current Project: Incorruptible Pure PurenessThe part about the comics being ongoing with a planned finale in 2010 is telling.
It's a thing that exists, so I'm going to drop the link on the page.
The page is much easier to handle when you comment out everything first and remove the % before the few acceptable entries.
Jesus... that's a lot.
Yeah, I think the best way is to ignore indentation for now, first see what tropes really don't fit and toss those, and then try to give context for each ZCE, fixing indentation as you go from trope to trope.

Optimism is a duty.Yeah, unfortunately my default cleaning method is just to do everything at once and just scroll down the page, which means that every problem I run into I fix, but it also means I get burned out very quickly on longer pages.
Current Project: Incorruptible Pure PurenessI think that works fine in mild cases, but yeah, this one will require a bit more of a systematic approach.
And don't feel ashamed to do it in multiple goes and take breaks.
Optimism is a duty.I do sometimes, especially on the really long pages.
Anyway, thanks Tabs, good work as always.

Current Project: Incorruptible Pure PurenessWas directed here from the Fixing zero context examples thread.
Manga.Nagasarete Airantou - multiple issues with ZCEs and indentation, at minimum. I made a start on the page's Zero Context Examples, and got the Character Sheet and YMMV page, as well as deleted manga-site links that were on the pages. The main page is a big enough job I think I should need help.
Blind has some pretty awful grammar.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanSo, just stumbled across Recap.Tales Of The Alliance, an entire orphaned recap index for Pantheon.Tales Of The Alliance (????)
Obviously all this needs to get cut but there are so damn many pages that I literally do not have the time to do it right now

Yandere.Music: The Britney Spears examples are using the word "may", which is tipping off Examples Are Not Arguable for me. The "Perfume" example looks like a keeper thanks to the last line, but not sure about "Toxic".
