Nightmare Fuel cleanup

Go To

Cause this needs to get done, and a couple of people working on +10,000 wicks just won't cut it.

What needs to be done:

Add finished pages to the sandbox page so we can keep track.

No problem. I got what I could of the Resident Evil HONF subpages, but can't seem to remove/correct the wicks, and am too tired to do figure out what I'm reading wrong at the moment. Someone else please?

The HONF page for Resident Evil 1 is blank. What happened? I can't transfer the wicks if the original HONF page is blank.

But I was able to transfer the HONF pages for REs 2-4 to their respective Nightmare Fuel pages.

@ccoa You're quite welcome. It's not hard, just a bit dull. But someone has to do it. smile

For sake of completness, here are the Real Life pages just before the cut.

Also, NightmareFuel.Mondo Medicals has been cleaned, moved, and examples from its sequel moved to their own page.

Literature main page half done. Merged World War Z to the existing page. Moved 4 Items to discussion to flesh out.

Question: what to do when a main entry (with *) isn't fleshed out, but the sub-entries (with ** ) are? Cut the whole group or only non-fleshed-out parts?

Can we bring the Real Life ones back? I did some major work cleaning Accidents and Body Horror and Animals, and it feels like I did that for nothing.

I'm back for doing some more Example Lobotomy! (Oh, and for those interested, in the end yesterday's absence of mine was Worth It: I'm a blue belt now.)

Now, I'd like to do The Simpsons. I created this link just to check if it's locked. Let's see...

[EDIT: it's locked. ccoa, you know what needs to be done!]

Unlocked and restored. Good luck, it looks long.

If you find a Zero Context Example followed by fleshed out examples, I try to make it fit Example Indentation guidelines. That is:

  • Everything in Episode 10!
    • Especially when Sigurd reaches under his shirt and starts PULLING OUT HIS OWN INTESTINES!! That was gross!
    • When Erika breaks down and starts crying, the house starts melting, trapping all those poor people inside to suffocate.

I'd rewrite it too:

  • Episode 10 is full of this.
    • At one point Sigurd reaches under his shirt and starts pulling out his intestines.
    • When Erika breaks down and starts crying, the house starts melting, trapping all those poor people inside to suffocate.

Friendly reminder: even though the edit lock has expired, I'm still working on The Simpsons. Be patient and the page will be finished soon.

[up] Remember you can copy the page source into a plaintext document, work on it for as long as you need, and then paste that in.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Ordered the Accidental Nightmare Fuel page for Sponge Bob to be cut. I wonder what happened to the HONF Sponge Bob page?

I saved the changes to the The Simpsons article's first folder, so far the only one de-nattered.

And I know I can also fix the page in a separate document, but I wanted the page to be fixed as soon as possible, and I don't want anyone to think there's a nattery page still lingering there as if nobody's working on it, because that's what I'm frantically trying to do.

I'm not sure what you're asking, miru. The HONF page redirects to the NF page of Spongebob.

Voilà, ccoa! After eating toast for dinner (no really, I mean it, literally!)... The Simpsons has been given a full Example Lobotomy. And I made it, within the very same discussion page you said "it looks long", yay!... except I stumbled across an example of actual lobotomy in the Treehouse Of Horror folder, let alone the hung Simpsons couch gag. No sleep for me tonight, To Say the Least.

Anyway, what can I take on next? I'll think about it...

[EDIT: I've made my choice: requesting an unlock for a short page, for the moment - namely, Spyro the Dragon.]

It's restored, but it's locked... also, there used to be an image, where is it?

[EDIT: also, sorry for being late, I got sidetracked. I remembered the Spyro page to be not that short, but at least I can fix it before going to sleep.]

[EDIT 2: I'm writing a Composite Nightmare Fuel page offline. Once it's done, I can transform the HONF page for Spyro The Dragon into a redirect to the NF namespace.]

[EDIT 3: The page is ready. Once Spyro the Dragon is unlocked, I'll post it there.]

[EDIT 4: Okay, the page has been slamdunk'd and the HONF page now redirects to the NF namespace. So, for today, my contributions amount to The Simpsons and Spyro the Dragon. To recap, my other Example Lobotomies so far include Kingdom Hearts, Super Smash Bros., Pokémon, Kirby and Donkey Kong Country. Nice start to me, can't complain. Goin' to sleep. Good night, everybody! And special thanks to ccoa.]

I did a rough pass through Fallout3. If someone would like to come behind me and double check and remove anything else I might have missed, like redundant entries. Lord, were there redundant entries...
