Loads of sinkholed names with no supporting context.
she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportParagraph found in Amazing Technicolor Wildlife's description:
I think removing the links (at least the "Precious Puppy" etc. ones) would be a good idea.
The description of If You Thought That Was Bad... starts with the following sentence:
I might be wrong, but it seems to me that all three potholes are misused. Any additional thoughts?

- A friendly, kind, smart, cute and busty Gamer Chick? Indeed, Chiaki Nanami was just too good to be real.
Many pages related to DC Comics have paragraphs riddled with chained sinkholes, most of which are comprised of the word "The", followed by several adjectives that reek of Fan Myopia. I've already deleted one paragraph that contradicted itself, as well as another that had an incorrect description of the work. I'll proceed with the cleanup, if no one objects.

You Need to Get Laid has some issues with some examples, but the description has a few chained sinkholes. This was after the opening paragraph:
There are sinkholes aplenty in the Team Roster sections of the main The King of Fighters games, which I encountered doing TRS cleanup for Rich Idiot With No Day Job.
- The King of Fighters '94
- The King of Fighters '95
- The King of Fighters '96
- The King of Fighters '97
- The King of Fighters '98
- The King of Fighters '99
- The King of Fighters 2000
- The King of Fighters 2001
- The King of Fighters 2002
- The King of Fighters 2003
- The King of Fighters XI
- The King of Fighters XII
- The King of Fighters XIII
- The King of Fighters XIV
- The King of Fighters XV
From Love Hotel
It's hard to have anything approaching an adult relationship in Japan. Especially the Japan of anime. Once you get past the obstacles of attracting any attention, actually getting around to encountering an amenable romantic interest without blowing it from the get-go, running the gauntlet of finding true love, and sidestepping typical anime romantic obstacles, there is still one surprisingly difficult issue.
Encountered Fanfic.The Fiery Blush Of Dawn while working on a TRS clean and holy heck are there chained sinkholes galore. Did my best to work through about the first half of the many examples on the page, but I'm on my phone, so my speed was slowed considerably. Lots of stuff getting wicked over and over again, like Manga.Naruto getting potholed every time a canon character is mentioned. This repair may be above my paygrade.

Muse Magazine has sinkholes in the description. Should we just clear that chunk out?
she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportYeah, they can be cut.
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.Okay, done with a bit of a reword.
she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportFarscape has a borderline All Blue Entry in the "Season 4" folder, which naturally leads to chained sinkholes. Only 9 words of the paragraph quote aren't potholed.
—signature not found—Found this on The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie that I’m unsure how to fix.
- Unlimited Blade Crafts: Rean, Duvalie, and two other members participating in a martial arts tournament. It also reveals how Rean has access to Spirit Unification in the main game.
Found on Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA re: Chick Magnet:
- Shirou Freaking Emiya. Let's count his potential Love Interests: 1) Illya, 2) Chloe, 3) Rin Tohsaka, 4) Luviagelita Edelfeldt, 5) Sakura Matou, 6) Nanaki's sister, Moriyama Nanami, 7) Issei Ryuudou, 8) Sella... better, dude doesn't have to try.
All these sinkholes (removed one already for a TRS effort).
she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportFrom the Friendly Fandoms section of YMMV.Barbie 2023:
- With The Super Mario Bros. Movie for being based on a long running franchise and featuring a blonde woman in a pink dress in a leadership role, with some not realizing it's happened before with both franchises.
Just cut everything after "[...] leadership role."
Even then, I question the validity of this entry as while both movies are released in 2023 and both Barbie and Peach are blonde and dressed in pink, Barbie (or at least Margot Robbie's Barbie) isn't particularly in a position of leadership like Peach is.
"They played us like a DAMN FIDDLE!" — Kazuhira Miller, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom PainYeah, this whole example is a stretch.
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.So on Déjà Vu, there's this joke on the bottom of the page(the page quote and description were pasted to the bottom) and while I like the joke, the All-Blue Entry pothole fest feels excessive.
Roy: Maybe it's a rerun?
Orson: No. When you get the feeling that you're doing things you've already done, do you know what that's called?
Roy: The writer running out of ideas?
Orson: No!
Roy: Because that happened halfway through the second season.
Orson: It's called déjà vu.
Commonly experienced by characters who are starting to realize they are part of a "Groundhog Day" Loop. Occasionally appears in Time Travel plots. Truth in Television and a source of Paranoia Fuel in Real Life. Related to A Glitch in the Matrix, Déjà Vu may be a symptom of encountering that trope. May be triggered by passing through a Door to Before. Sometimes used for an Oh, No... Not Again! gag.
If you are looking for the album, go here. If you are looking for the film, go here. If you are looking for the game, go here.
I was thinking maybe it could be cut down, like so. It's still all blue, but it's only two potholes. I'm open to suggestions.
Wait, have we already done this?
It feels weird for both Déjà Vu and "Groundhog Day" Loop to do the same joke, but that's part of the joke.
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.Bumping. Any pinions on what to do with above.
CSP Cleanup Thread | All that I ask for ... is diamonds and dance floorsThe opening paragraph to The '80s has a lot of chained sinkholes
Are they allowed in Trope Descriptions? If not, how can it be rewritten?

Art Museum Curator and frequent helper of the Web Original deprecation projectI much prefer your version. I really didn't expect to find an unironic All-Blue Entry still on the wiki.
Chained sinkholes are bad no matter where they are, even in descriptions. Looks like the only way to fix this one is by removing some of those references.
Sounds like a good idea. I'll make the changes.
