'Cause its neglected while it would otherwise be useful!
With Inbound Watch, we clean up, monitor and maintain some of the top items in the inbound links section.
When editors are looking for a model on how to edit, most people go by an existing page. If the Example Indentation is wrong, or if there's natter, it's likely they'll think that to be okay and adopt the style. Maintaining the pages that bring in the most people will help alleviate that to some degree.
So, who feels like grabbing one today and cleaning it up?
Deprecated info
Here are the top 10 items at the moment:
- Zettai Ryouiki
- TheNon-Bronyverse
- Gender Is No Object
- Nose Tapping
- Too Awesome to Use
- Starbound
- Seinfeld Is Unfunny
- WMG.Ed Edd N Eddy
- Seven Samurai

Hottip cleanup seems to be dead / finished.
Working on cleanup for Adam Smith Hates Your Guts.

Point proven. Clearly, there's nothing to be done there, so I'm turning to this effort.

I cleaned up Seven Samurai
There is no Planet B
I've cleaned two sub-pages of They Changed It, Now It Sucks!.
EDIT: I'm slowly working on other subpages.

There is no Planet B
Women In Refrigerators needs help, promptly. TRS is full as usual, but if somebody could keep an eye on it and squeezed it in, it would be great.
It has 4,353 inbound links and 94 mentions on the wiki, though some are in YKTTW. The page is in main, and the description is something between a trope and a work's page.
It's a work stub, to me.

There is no Planet B
I'll YKTTW it.
There is no Planet B
Bumping the thread. Also, I tried looking in Series.Supernatural. The sub-page Supernatural.Trope Based Episodes is almost a list of Zero Context Examples.

I took care of Blue Orange contrast today. I did Seven Samurai the other day and it still looks good.
Hollywood Homely is done too.

Today's batch! It's kind of unusual because only 7 items can be maintained. Film and Character Sheets are indexes, while VideoGame.Video Game is a cut and locked article (I have absolutely no idea why people still go to it)
- Chuck Cunningham Syndrome
- American Kirby Is Hardcore
- Character Sheets
- Hammerspace
- Examples of Myers-Briggs Personalities in Stories
- Video Game
- Seinfeld Is Unfunny
- YMMV.Home Page
- Film

Huh. I am guessing that people are searching for a general Video Game article (I am currently YKTTW'ing one here) and not finding one (I can't read most inbounds, though).
I've been out of touch so long...sorry. 
Today we haaaaaaaaave...
- Too Awesome to Use
- Cartwright Curse
- Enforced Method Acting.Film
- Appeal to Worse Problems
- Disney Villain Death
- Unspoken Plan Guarantee
- MacGuffin
- Mary Sue Classic
- Chunky Salsa Rule
- Webcomic.HTZ
I already did Too Awesome to Use. It's surprisingly stayed clean.
"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - Fighteer
Is this still a thing? Should I try it out?
Trying to revive this thread because our search inbounds have been dipping recently. Today's top ten (including the duplicates) are:
- BrotherSisterIncest.Films
- BrotherSisterIncest.Films
- Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?
- Dog Got Sent to a Farm
- Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?
- Video Game Interface Elements
- Film.Sonic The Hedgehog
- Film.Sonic The Hedgehog
- HoYay.Ace Attorney
- Inexplicable Treasure Chests
I have no idea why there's so much incest on the list.
