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 Doctor Who HONF page is going to need a lot of cleaning up before it is ready to be moved. I was going to start this task, but I'm going to need some help. Anyone who can help, please, the page is falling into swift disrepair. It's way too long, and many examples are repeated, the whole thing is very confusing to read, and the spoiler feature is completely misused. Thanks!

You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will live as one

A question about the cleanups: does addressing the reader (as in, "in X level, you have to") count as natter? If it doesn't, my cleanup is gonna get way faster.

Let me know.

About indexing: I think there's some problemn, because a number of works I've indexed in Anime don't show what index they're in at the bottom. Elfen Lied, for instance.

The indexing was turned off on Anime. Possibly whomever moved it didn't turn it on.

Addressing the reader is fine, as is editorial we. First person and "this troper" are axe on sight. Using "the fandom" or "many fans" as an obvious stand-in for first person should also go.

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

Once again, thanks ccoa. That's another one I owe you.

Current situation with Super Smash Bros.: edit lock espired, as I'm doing the whole thing at once. Still at the top of the page. Might take a while.

Ok, I realize this can only help. However, I think the reason there's so much natter in these entries is because nobody seems to use the discussion board- it's either nonexistent or very small postcount. So, I guess this would get rid of that, and maybe people would use the dang discussion boards again.

The discussion pages aren't there to talk about your experiences, they're there to correct problems with the page. If you want to talk about something, we use the forums.

@cjapplesauce It has been moved. Ages ago. There's a redirect in place because of the ludicrous number of inbounds, but here it is: Doctor Who. Most of the personal "I think", "I feel", "OMG so scary" examples are gone. I think.

Could someone familiar with the show partition Nightmare Fuel.CSI (into the original, NY and Miami)? Buffy and Fringe also need fixing. NightmareFuel.Live Action TV

Super Smash Bros.: mission accomplished, the page has been given another Example Lobotomy.

Planning on working on Donkey Kong Country next. Can anyone restore it?

That was odd... NightmareFuel.Other is still locked so I can't continue the subpage index transplant. Other than that, everything else as seen on the main page has been transplanted to the NightmareFuel/ namespace.

I now go by Graf von Tirol.

That's strange. I hit the unlock button. Did it again, try now.

I'm thinking that "real life" nightmare fuel can go.

NOW it is transplanted, and so the main page index is complete. Brought up the Real Life section up to the special efforts thread, btw.

[up]Ah, sorry, I must have been editing it at the same time! I didn't notice you'd asked for it to be unlocked. Could someone update the Nightmare FuelOther link on the main Nightmare Fuel page?

Thanks, ccoa. Already working on it.

[EDIT: Donkey Kong Country has been given its full Example Lobotomy as well. Now I'm taking a break for two reasons: sore eyes, and DINNER.]

EW! EW! EW! EW! I about to de-natterfy the CSI page when I realized too late that I am going to have to look at those spoilers. Major squick. Blood is nothing, but liquified corpses?! Are there any brave souls wanting to tackle this page? I'm NOT going back to that one.

I have to go again. I'll be back later. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is moved but hasn't been de-natterfied and the folder from the main page I added on to there isn't integrated into the main article. Volunteers?

[up][up][up]Don't worry, I finished denatterifying it. After researching cadavers for a fanfic, bloat and liquefying hold no fears for me. But I was hoping that someone might sort the examples into the proper sections smile

Requesting an unlock-and-restore action for Sonic the Hedgehog. I'll take care of it from then on.
