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:
- Clean up every HONF page, removing first person, this troper, context-less examples, etc.
- After being cleaned, move the page to the Nightmare Fuel namespace. If it is locked, you can ask for it to be unlocked here. See How to Move a Page for more information.
- Remove all wicks to Nightmare Fuel, High Octane Nightmare Fuel, and Accidental Nightmare Fuel that do not appear on a YMMV page, a Nightmare Fuel page, or a trope description.
- Change correct High Octane Nightmare Fuel wicks to Nightmare Fuel.
Add finished pages to the sandbox page so we can keep track.
The courtesy links to Related To pages and namespaces:
- Nightmare Fuel wicks
- High Octane Nightmare Fuel wicks
- Accidental Nightmare Fuel wicks
- Nightmare Fuel namespace
- High Octane Nightmare Fuel namespace

That would require a new TRS, and I do not think that yet another NF thread would go down well.

Hi
![[up]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/smiles/arrow_up.png "[up]"){kind=icon}
I'm starting to think that might not be a bad idea.note
A long bump, but I did recheck the work page Nightmare Fuel links X to Z.
Also, found a few examples tagged as In-Universe; I wonder if I should take them to YKTTW - I recall seeing more elsewhere here:
- xkcd: Velociraptors.
- Yu-Gi-Oh! The Thousand Year Door: In-Universe example. According to Leopold's narration in Chapter 54 of Redux, whenever in a bad mood, The Shadow Queen tells him and the rest of the Spawn a well-detailed explanation on what she would to do to the traitor who killed Lyrius if she ever got her hands on him which was enough to give them nightmares. After she finally catches Lan'tao (who was the said traitor), she gives an idea of his punishment to Kyle and Drake (who witnessed the confrontation between the two parties) and sad to say, it wasn't pretty.

Wow...been a while on this one.
I think the original consensus was in-universe can stay on the main page, but true uses are pretty rare. If them being moved to the YMMV page to prevent misuse is a better idea, I have no issue with it.
Seems like this is done; closing.

I'm almost wondering if we might be better off in the long run just scrapping examples of Nightmare Fuel as a lesson to future tropers not to let misuse of tropes or audience reactions get out of hand.
