I just finished cleaning up the video games subpage. If anyone wants to check if I missed anything, feel free.

(On pages recently read through:)

The Pokémon page had received some attention previously, and I tried to clear up most of the remaining problems. The rest should be fine-tuning, in contrast to the page before all this.

The pro wrestling page was filled with 'like/dislike' examples, quite recently. I cleared out a few. It was crowded, so it's likely that others could find a few more examples. However, there was clearly a lot of 'misled usage' of Fandom Berserk Button, so there is probably quite a lot of clearing up to do elsewhere.

The sports page still requires scrutiny, though it wasn't as 'bad' as the pro wrestling page.

The introduction sentence on both the Pokemon and Sonic subpages should either be rewritten or removed because they currently give off the "anything that pisses fan off" meaning we are trying to clean up.

[up]Looks like that's already been done.

Edit: Since I tend to curate the Vinesauce pages, I went ahead and cleaned up the examples on YMMV.Vinesauce.

My idea for a potential Darth Wiki Flame Bait page would be to just call it "DarthWiki.Fandom Berserk Button", since FBB is a descriptive name for things that annoy members of a fandom. The current FBB should be renamed, since it doesn't accurately convey the "objective mistake" aspect of the definition. And Main.Fandom Berserk Button would be a disambiguation page that points to the two aforementioned pages.

Also, the Nerd Rage redirect sounds like it should be a completely separate In-Universe objective trope.

[up] If we rename Fandom Berserk Button, I'd go with Fan Angering Misconception which was suggested earlier.

I'm cleaning up wicks now. I'm done with A, but there are some examples I'm unsure about:

EDIT: Done with Bs

Should we talk about a potential rename?

[up] I believe Fandom Berserk Button should be renamed Fan Angering Misconception I stated above. I want to see if anyone has other suggestions for a rename or if anyone has any objections to renaming. Then we can start a crowner.

I'm good with the rename proposal as well.

Cleaned out the Anime and Manga subpage. Someone double check I didn't miss anything.

The Anime and Manga subpage contains a lot of examples of using the dub names over the original names, and I'm not sure if those count or not.

[up] Unless one is somehow "official" and the other is incorrect, those should be deleted.

After reading the History folder under Main.Fandom Berserk Button, I noticed denying genocides is listed. Apologies if this seems offensive, I'm trying to be as tactful as possible while raising the issue, but does that imply genocides have "fandoms"? It's a valid Berserk Button, but fandom doesn't seem like the right term here.

In light of this, I propose we remove the History folder since the issues don't fall under what can be considered fandoms (nationalism maybe). Thoughts?

[up]I feel like we should cut anything about real life that doesn't have to do with creators, partially because it's using "fandom" very loosely and partially because stuff in the vein of that example probably violates the Rule Of Cautious Editing Judgment.

Edit: Removed a couple of general examples from the main page (one of which was referred to as "partially averted"), commented out a zero-context example in the history section, and fixed the various instances of bad indentation in the history section.

Another edit: Did some more minor cleanup on the main page, most of which involved removing word cruft and fixing indentation.

Yet another edit: The language section seems redundant with Misplaced Nationalism, with the exception of the sign language example (since some form of it exists pretty much everywhere), which mainly just uses "fandom" loosely.

If we've agreed it needs a rename someone should probably add a crowner to this thread.

[up] Should I start a Single Proposition or Alternative Names crowner since the only alternative name that has been suggested is Fan Angering Misconception?
