So like, is there a thread regarding ads? Because I just had a bigass one that was actively covering the page and interfering with reading it.
This thread in FAQ.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessIs there a general indentation in example lists cleanup? Sometimes I note work pages with amounts of unrelated examples at different bullet levels / nested tropes / slashed examples / Audience Reactions notifications that are "too many to fix myself right away".

TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupIs there any thread that directly addresses the Dethroning Moment Of Suck pages? I know there's one about general negativity but this is something I want to discuss in particular.

There's not; I'm not sure what we'd actually clean up there since the entire point of that section is for people to rant.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessI’ve had to remove at least one instance of Creator Bashing on DMOS.
Well, okay. I should rephrase.
There are rules about DMOS that do get broken. But I don't think a DMOS-specific thread would be a good idea. It's a slippery slope from just enforcing the rules to people trying to tone-police Darth Wiki, or bringing up entries out of personal disagreement. We can clean up rule-breaking issues without a fullscale cleanup effort for that part of the site.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessEh, true.
But we have a Horrible cleanup thread. Isn't that thread already doing that?
Not advocating for a DMOS cleanup BTW, just saying that there is a Horrible cleanup.

TRS Queue | Works That Require Cleanup of Complaining | Troper WallBy tone policing, I didn't mean what we're doing at the Horrible cleanup (which is just curating things to make sure examples fit the restrictions). I meant that a DMOS cleanup would potentially and easily slide into trying to cleanup examples that are "too complainy" or that express views people disagree with- policing the tone of the examples in the one part of the site we're allowed to complain.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessAh I get it, thanks for clarifying.
TRS Queue | Works That Require Cleanup of Complaining | Troper WallApologies if this isn't the right place to ask but where's the TLP workshop thread?

Victor of HGS S320 | "There's rosemary, that's for remembrance. Pray you, love, remember."Do we have an Ensemble Dark Horse cleanup thread?
Absolute destiny... apeachalypse?Thanks!
Absolute destiny... apeachalypse?I can't seem to find the thread for disambig trope wick clean up. Someone said they were going to make one and I wanted to see how that was going.
That's it, thanks.
Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.
