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.

The first one has 16 inbounds, so redirect it to main page where you put the examples. The second one has no inbounds, so it can be cutlisted.

Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.

I just moved HighOctaneNightmareFuel.Not Always Right to NightmareFuel.Not Always Right. The page looks to be all right. There's no "this troper" or personal anecdotes.

Advertising has got some problems with first person and Narm or Your Mileage May Vary wicks.

You might want to check the number of inbounds for that page before cutlisting it.

[up] 12 inbounds...I know 10 is our threshold, but if I was a cutmaster I'd go ahead and kill it.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I fixed the Nightmare Fuel page for The Last Temptation of Christ.

I did a NF search on Age Of Mythology...the entry is listed as being in-universe but the description sounds like the kind of usage that we're trying to get rid of. Thoughts?

NightmareFuel.Shaun of the Dead needs unlocking, please.

Also: the page for Flannery O'Connor has only one entry. Said entry (for Wise Blood) has a separate works page. Should the O'Connor page be moved, or the lone entry moved to a new page for Wise Blood and the O'Connor page cut if eligible?

Someone had just moved a bunch of pages from HighOctaneNightmareFuel/ to NightmareFuel/ without cleaning them. I just went through and removed the This Troper, personal anecdotes, and natter from the pages that had them.

I created a sandbox page for HONF Migration Project. This should help us to determine how many HONF pages still have to be moved. Some of the pages can't be cutlisted due to having over 10 inbounds, and I'm working to separate those from the pages that still have to be moved.

Successfully transplanted NF examples for nitro+, Pathologic, and Red Dead Redemption and created their NF redirects.

Not about the cleanup strictly, but while going through discussion pages, I've heard several complaints about the HONF icon. Is there a chance that it will be removed once the cleanup is over?

Septimus Heap: I hope not. I prefer that to the original NF icon with Jack Skellington. Is there any way to preserve it?

He may mean to have it removed from pages where the HONF tab is now a redirect to the NF one; at the moment, both show up so it looks like there are two subpages.

Personally, I hope that once the cleanup is done, the HONF icon will become the NF one and the current NF one (the gray face) will be done away with.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Just wanted to remind everyone that in addition to culling out the HONF wicks and moving those pages, there are still a metric fuckton of NF pages, including the YMMV pages, that need to be checked for NF sinkholes and otherwise improper use of the term. We've made a lot of progress (and huge kudos to everyone who's been working on this), but we've got a ways to go before we're done.

The superfluous NF links have been cleaned from NightmareFuel.Animorphs, but it still needs a natter purging.
