Cleanup help needed

Anyone brave enough to tackle the issues in Fridge.Kingdom Hearts? I already took care of the spoiler tags and a bit of obvious natter on the main page, but it needs a lot more work. Specifically, first person writing, more natter...

As mentioned over on the plagiarism thread, the character bios on the Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg (video game) page are all copied from the source material.

There are multiple pages, a lot of characters, and some formatting issues that also need sorting, but the plagiarism is the priority. At this point the best option is probably just to cut it and add the usual placeholder, then we can get new versions added later.

Any help would be much appreciated.

With 11 subpages, it's probably safe to Ctrl+F and cut any paragraph that starts with "In-Game Biography".

Night Swim's pages (Fridge and YMMV) have some entries which seem to have a biased tone to them, as if the troper(s) writing them were fuming. As a result, they feel more like furious critic reviews than Fridge and YMMV pages.

A cleanup would be nice.

How did Getting Crap Past the Radar weird splits cleanup work again?

Because I just found:

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/GettingCrap

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/PastTheRadar

It was just split like that for the tags people used back when it was NOPE for cleanup.

Thanks, what do we do with them now? Just remove?

Yes. Or rewrite them, which I sometimes do.

Not sure where to post this, but this seems like as good a place as any.

The page Freakier Than Fiction has a ^note  that isn't working properly (the one about the Zodiac Killer). It shows the first [[note]], but not the one with the slash, and doesn't hide the note's contents. What's weird is that all the other "note" superscripts on that page work fine.

That's because the "Snowdonia National Park" note wasn't closed with a tag, and instead relied on auto-closing.

Apologies if it's been mentioned before, but I've noticed a few questionable examples in Crack Fic, including one where (NSFW) Pedobear violates Justin Bieber, which is linked to in the page.

Several are also ZCE just listing weird crossovers with a link to the fic in question and even a few that aren't available publicly (anymore).

And a link to a doujinshi on E-Hentai, which I don't think is allowed lol.

It's made me realise that maybe we shouldn't link to actual crack fics, and just have the page describe the term, or use it for in-universe examples.

If nothing else, several examples are in the folder the fan work belongs to (ie a fan video series about A Song of Ice and Fire is in the "Web Original" folder), so the entire page needs reorganising.

There are SFW Crack Fics out there. We can just choose not to list the explicit ones.

Also absolutely an option, and if examples are kept then I think this is the best bet, since a lot of NSFW crack fics are just porn/smut or are written to be shocking (like the one I mentioned above).

Personally, I'm of the opinion that Crack Fic is almost too generic of a term nowadays, and I reckon it's something that might work better as a Useful Notes page (if my understanding of that namespace is correct).

...But maybe I've also just been on the internet too long and my perspective of what's truly ~weird~ in fanfic has become jaded over the years, lol

It's still a genre, so Useful Notes doesn't make sense. Crack Fic feels pretty clear-cut to me, but it gets nebulous if intentions aren't clear due to Poe's Law issues.

My bad about Useful Notes!

I guess my issue is that while a lot of crack fics are intentional, there are also some that might not be, like My Immortal, so yeah, intent can sometimes be hard to work out.

Perhaps limiting it to fics that are intentionally meant to be crack fics could work?

ShoutOut.Infinity Train Blossomverse

Seems to have a failed split into:

ShoutOut.Infinity Train Blossoming Trail

On Unfortunate Implications:

• Anthony Pryor points out in his review of Wizards that the director's words that the film's conflict between good elves and evil mutants is supposed to represent a real-life conflict in Israel gives bad implications. The Big Bad seemingly being born hideous and evil is also pointed as potentially giving a bad message.

The provided URL seems to link to spyware, can someone fix the link?

Should the Powered by a Forsaken Child category exist if it's a subtrope as it says?

No, those examples should go on the Powered by a Forsaken Child page
