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

I moved the examples for Snopes to the main Web Original space, since there was only a couple.
Currently working on SCP Foundation but dear god is there ever a lot of natter on that page.
lalalei2001: Yes, essentially. ANF and HONF implied we could know authorial intent, which is never a good idea. However, I'd check this thread
in the repair shop morgue. It was in the 3rd or 4th post on the first page, so you won't have seen it if you thread hopped here.

Here are the Nightmare Fuel entries from YMMV.Family Guy:
- Nightmare Fuel: Some of the Dead Baby Comedy can do this. The final fate of Stewie and Brian's clones pretty much is a visual example of it, exponentially.
- Another example is the actual version of Santa's Workshop in "Road to the North Pole". The elves are bad enough, but those reindeer....you won't sleep well.
- If it weren't for the usual bits of comedy thrown in, the murder mystery episode had all the elements to make a genuinely scary story.
- A pre-cancellation example is the non-canon episode "Da Boom". The episode was about the effects of the Y2K crash and its aftermath, complete with implied death, mutation, and cannibalism. It doesn't help that this episode aired days before the Y2K scare.
- Brian's Mushroom Samba in Seahorse Seashell Party. It is messed up, and absolutely TERRIFYING. From start to finish. Not one bit of it was even remotely funny (except maybe when Peter appeared as a drumstick, but consider that he was literally being roasted earlier...), and while it was expected, there was a Jump Scare at the end. It is perhaps the most disturbing, surreal, and absolutely TERRIFYING moment in the ENTIRE SERIES.
- Try watching that part at night, on the second floor of your house, alone, and with the lights out. Definitely wasn't fun.
- Jeff from "Screams Of Siilence" ties with that. His very presence will make you sick to your stomach.
I don't know anything about the show, so I can't fix it - but I'm just letting whoever opted to clean up NightmareFuel.Family Guy know.
I'm back! Gotta finish the Pokémon article. I promised it'd be fast and I mean to keep that promise.
See you later!
[EDIT: Crap. I didn't notice I didn't click on "send" before, so now you got the announcement of the Pokémon page being finally fully fixed in the same post.]
Well, now... Kirby is next!... provided it's back, that is.
[EDIT: It isn't! I need someone to restore Kirby so I can edit it!]

I'm from Piedmont. No relation with Piedmon, mind you!Why in the name of all that is holy was HONF cutlisted? It has close to 20.000 inbounds.
"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerYes, but High Octane Nightmare Fuel could be a redirect. Cutting 20,000 inbounds is more than excessive.
EDIT: Wait, Willbyr wasn't talking to me apparently.
I'm going to restore HONF, and you'd better not cutlist something with so many inbounds again.

About indexing: You have to change the entry on the index page. For example, say I just finished up and moved HighOctaneNightmareFuel/Fringe. I'd need to go to the NightmareFuel/LiveActionTV index and edit it to change the HighOctaneNightmareFuel/Fringe entry to NightmareFuel/Fringe.
You can see what index a page is on by looking at the bottom before you move it and opening it in a new tab. Or, if you made the old HONF page a redirect, you can click the related to button, click on the redirect up in the corner, and see all the pages you need to fix the wick on, including the index.
If it's not indexed and you're not sure where to put it, feel free to ask here where it should be indexed.

Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.Pan's Labyrinth, Fight Club and The Rocky Horror Picture Show cleaned and moved.
Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but how many examples should a NF page have to justify its existence, vs. just sticking the examples under YMMV?

Still waiting on NightmareFuel.Other and NightmareFuel.New Media to be unlocked.

I now go by Graf von Tirol.Done. Sorry, missed that.
This is the most productive clean-up I have ever seen. We should headline these things more often.
Kirby given a full Example Lobotomy.
Planning on fixing Super Smash Bros. next.
I'm from Piedmont. No relation with Piedmon, mind you!if you cutlist it, it resets the number of wicks to zero and puts them back as pages are edited. FE has a tool that can show you the real amount of wicks, but it is a strain on the server so should be used sparingly.
Keeper of The Celestial FlameSo whomever cutlisted it kind of screwed us over, there. I'll PM them and ask them to watch the inbounds.
Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.Sorry for bothering, but I didn't want to use the holler button (I've never used it before, anyway).
Going out for a few minutes now, in order to pick up some wood. In the meantime, can anyone restore Super Smash Bros.? I'll take care of it, nevermind its length.
I'm from Piedmont. No relation with Piedmon, mind you!Restored.
