Needs Help: Ominous Floating Castle

Ominous Floating Castle 's examples feel unnecessarily split and segmented, causing the page to look quite messy. A trope like this doesn't feel like it should have these many 'sub-tropes' attached to it, and I feel like they could easily be merged together.

Opening this, kind of a weak OP but it wouldn't be a hard thing to fix if it's an issue.

The clearest solution would be to merge the three example sections, and explain at the top that the castle can float in a variety of environments.

[up] Yes, and perhaps also put the three common types on the description without soft-splitting.

I'd like to apologize for all this.

Admitted soft split hater here; I don't see the need for this one. Merge them back.

How does the Space version relate with Space Station?

[tup] To merging. I also suggest salvaging the descriptions of the split sub-types and putting them in the main description, similiarly to what Fernando suggested.

@Malady: an OMF is the bad guy's base. A Space Station is, well, in space. The two can overlap on occasion.

Votes are unanimous. Let's axe the type labels and combine the example lists.

Ok, the soft split has been removed, the examples are alphabetized, and the zero-context examples have been commented out. There's also a few examples that I'm going to put on the discussion page for misuse.

And with this, this thread can go to rest. Thanks a lot ^
