Classic Cheat Code has been subjected to misuse as of late. Originally, the page was just about cheat codes that are referenced in other works like the Konami Code, but people are just using the page as a way to list every possible cheat codes in the games, how to input them, and their effects on gameplay, essentially turning the page into Walkthrough Mode. This has been especially made apparent when a separate subpage for Spyro The Dragon was created, which I discussed on Ask the Tropers of whether or not the subpage should exist at all. I think it's time this page needs a cleanup.

The 207 wicks are probably also filled with misuse. We may need a rename, as the current name does't indicate referencing, just notoriety.

I'm going to take a scythe to the trope page itself and remove every entry that doesn't mention a reference of some sort and see what's left.

Edit: Cleanup complete on page itself. I removed about half the entries, I'd say.

Health sure is versatile. It's possible to be both light-headed and dim-witted. At the same time, no less.

Alright, thanks. Now all that's left is the Spyro The Dragon subpage and whether or not to actually cut it. According to Fighteer, the codes listed in that subpage are only internal to the games themselves.

I'm not seeing anything worth saving. It does have a mountain of redirects that need to be cutlisted along with it though.

Edit: Cutlisted everything related to that subpage.

Now to cleanup 207 wicks and crosswick anything that's valid.

Edit: 196 wicks to go. Started from the bottom and got to the Video Game section.
