Am I a weirdo?

I agree with your suggestion.
I fix my examples all the time
Justifying edit in Convenient Miscarriage:
- In an early episode of Rugrats, Charlotte Pickles (Angelica's mom) takes an at-home pregnancy test and the test shows a positive result, which gets her and Drew talking about having another baby, although Angelica starts angsting about not being the center of her parents' attention anymore. At the very end of the episode, it's revealed that Charlotte's not actually going to have another baby.
- It's never actually made clear if Charlotte did have a miscarriage (or, at the very least, a chemical pregnancynote ). It's possible that Charlotte was never actually pregnant to begin with — if that's true, then she could've had a phantom pregnancynote and/or had misread/done her at-home pregnancy test incorrectlynote . It's also entirely possible that Charlotte simply realized that at-home pregnancy tests aren't always completely accurate because right after doing the test, she made an appointment with her doctor to have an official pregnancy test done.
In a case combining wrong indentation and botched "note", Formula One Drivers has under Rubens Barrichello a ** with a meme... and when clicking "explanation" comes a second meme under ***, which not only isn't contained by the first meme, but should be a ** on its own.
While 2012 was slightly cleaned up after I pointed out, Artistic License – Physics has the bullets "The tsunamis" and "Two courtesy of the Little Prop Plane that Could:" followed by two ** bullets that are clearly subtopics, so they should be ***.
And finally, An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn has Harsher in Hindsight followed by a * that is clearly meant to be another case of that trope, meaning that the trope should now get two ** afterwards (one of whom is the text already following the trope name).

Bumping to note another case - I stumble by ones that downright forget the asterisks all the time, but better highlight one more in the intent of what the topic should be: the Live-Action Films subpage for Hilarious in Hindsight has the examples for GoldenEye (J folder, under James Bond) in the same ** level, when they should be *** (Goldfinger a few lines above shows the right way).
Does it look possible or necessary to combine the Award Snub entries on YMMV.Andor?
- Unlike Diego Luna, Genevieve O'Reilly and Stellan Skarsgård missed out for acting nominations at the Critics' Choice Television Awards and Golden Globes, the latter of which hadn't nominated any Star Wars actors since A New Hope's Alec Guinness. Luna himself didn't win either of those awards.note
- As with every live-action Star Wars TV show airing after The Mandalorian Season 2, the first season of Andor didn't receive any Emmy nominations for acting, either.
From Acclaimed Flop:
- Two films from long-running action-adventure franchises suffered this in 2023: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny ...
- Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One (2023)...
Now, specially the way it's written the colon should be a setup for a ** on Indiana Jones to go below.
From Critical Backlash:
- On lists of Worst Best Picture Winners, Ordinary People is often given a high rating. This is most likely due to it winning the Best Picture Oscar instead of Raging Bull. The film itself is a very subtle, quietly moving film that doesn't deserve the almighty kicking it gets.
- Crash makes many "worst Best Picture winners" ...
- Shakespeare in Love is agreed to...
Now, given all three are about Best Picture winners, maybe the latter two should be ** (also rewriting to "Crash also makes many") to keep the topic together, or all three should be ** to a * highlighting backlash against certain Best Picture winners.
Berserk Button: misusing Nightmare Fuel
Because Examples Are Not General, these examples shouldn't be grouped together like that as they're about multiple unrelated movies.
Found this mess in No One Could Survive That!:
- This also happens in Super Robot Wars Original Generation saga. Lamia Loveless was forcefully pulled out from a Bartoll pod using Alt Eisen Riese's Revolving Bunker, all while naked, already damaged, and bound with the cables inside, anyone can say That's Gotta Hurt at that point. To make things worse, she got shot down while laying down in Alt Eisen Riese's arm without recovering from the previous damage, not by a mere gun, but with a dangerous Humongous Mecha, all while NAKED AND DEFENSELESS. People think that she wouldn't survive at all... except that she survived just by a very small margin, because the game's Dragon made it in time to reprogram her and turn her against her allies. And the scene of her ultimate rescue was just as brutal, Axel uses his strongest attack only to plug her out of the machine that kept here, yet she still survives for the ultimate repair. If you call Code Kirin weaker than Revolving Bunker, well that's just ridiculous... But then again, she was in a bigger mecha so a way stronger attack may be necessary to plug her out.
- And it was actually PRECEDED, when she self destructs to save the team from the Shadow Mirror, and she got Lemon to haul her in the last minute and repair her and let her off...
- Justified, as she's a robot. A ridiculously human one, built mainly for infiltration and for Sleeper Agent operations. Meaning, she's not Made of Iron (not literally), but still she's definitely covered when it comes to replacing the damaged parts of her body, because of said explosions and possible shrapnel, with little to no trauma afterwards. Neither the game or the anime, however, capitalize on this little tidbit.
- Averted for her voice module, that thing never goes unscathed without at least a little Funetik Aksent due to the dangers she's constantly exposed. The most recent one even got her to occasionally talk in a high-pitched, energetic voice, a stark contrast to her own personality! note
- Axel Almer also adheres this trope fully, probably in a far more impossible odds than Lamia. Let's see... he got blasted into pieces, almost all limbs said to be broken, had his death speech and all, and his place of death was merged into an alien body (and supposedly his body too)... Banpresto's answer? Have a quirky mercenary squadron haul his machine remnants in the last minutes, JUST BEFORE THE MERGING, and have ANOTHER DEAD character (Alfimi) possess his soul briefly so he can wake up in the future time. He has no body modifications before, he's just a human that happens to be too tough for his own good. Maybe his popularity ever since he played the villain part ultimately causes this...
- Speaking of which, even Kyosuke Nanbu fell to this trope several times. Before the game timeline, he suffered a plane crash that could've killed him... yet he came out with just some scratches and bruises. Next, when he was trying a test run of a Transforming Mecha, it malfunctioned, exploded with him inside, and the mech sank to the water... yet he came out with just a few broken ribs. In Original Generation 2, Axel Almer proceeds to use his strongest attack to rip Kyosuke's mech to shreds, which Kyosuke not only survives but promptly gets a massive update to his mech so it doesn't happen again. And where does that credit to? His luck. What a lucky bastard.
- Kyosuke's abnormal Luck is actually one of the traits he's famous for. He routinely survives attacks that were supposed to kill him, and fans speculate that this luck is what allows Kyosuke to perform well in his Alteisen, which is, in all honesty, an outdated and clumsy Real Robot Genre that really wants to be a Super Robot Genre when it grows up. Anyone else using the Alt would probably find themselves shot down pretty quickly.
- Oh, and Excellen Browning also got it a bit worse. She was supposedly dead at the plane crash with Kyosuke, but the Einst hauled her in the last minute so they can partially put their parts on her, and that ensured her survival.
- Any Super Robot Wars Game in general will do when it comes to the destructive powers of the Original Generation Mecha.
- Similarly to Axel, the Inspector Mekibos survives the obliteration of his unit towards the end of OG2 (or SRW3, if you prefer) because he was lucky. Of course, this is Mekibos.
- And it was actually PRECEDED, when she self destructs to save the team from the Shadow Mirror, and she got Lemon to haul her in the last minute and repair her and let her off...

CSP Cleanup Thread | All that I ask for ... is diamonds and dance floors
Hollywood Tactics has on Live-Action Film a bullet on Star Trek, and all the next four ** are about Star Trek: Nemesis. It should be **Star Trek: Nemesis followed by four ***.
I don't know if I should point out * with the work title followed by a single **, meaning it could be a single bullet without issue. But there is one in Falsely Advertised Accuracy with Jurassic Park III.
Web Videos is a mess on the Channel Awesome section. Atop the Fourth Wall either didn't need a ** or they should split the part about Linkara's father into its own bullet. And the cases after, or even including, Obscurus Lupa shouldn't be *** but ** given they're not subsections of the Nostalgia Chick.

Rookie Trope Repairer
Non-Gameplay Elimination has a lot of example indentation issues. Specifically, the "Other Shows" folder has multiple violations of this rule:
YMMV.Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1989, the That One Level entry, the first four ** are about the same level, with the first downright ending on "..." to indicate the next three continue it, meaning they should be *** subtopics. And thus the *** that follow should all be ** for moving onto another topics\levels rather than being subtopics.
