[checks page] Ohhhhh, I see the issue. It was this fictional guy named Steve Martin.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Cleaning out smaller namespaces, down to 3247. What do we do with Sandboxes and Darth Wiki?

I just remove them. In the case of personal sandboxes I also PM the owner.

What do we do about examples where "Famous Last Words" is used as a stock phrase?

Bigotry in the name of inclusion is still bigotry.

Just keep the words, but de-link them by spacing them and uncapitalizing them.

These cases aren't potholes, they are purported examples of the trope. The whole point of the examples is that a character remarks on stock phrases such as "Make me!" or "It seemed like a good idea at the time" being Famous Last Words.

It's not a trope anymore. It's been redirected to Last Words, which is an index. So there's no examples to have anymore. The entire thing needs to be dewicked.

I suppose I'll have to go to Trope Finder, then, as these are obviously examples of something. I was hoping someone here would know off the top of their head.

That was my first thought, but it didn't seem quite right somehow. Nevertheless, that's what I went with.

Chin up y'all — some of the threads have sat here for literal years before the work was finished. All things considered this is a pretty good pace :-)
