Many pages on TV Tropes suffer from all kinds of formatting issues. While there are numerous threads for specific kinds of bad formatting, from bad soft splits to indentation, this thread will (hopefully) serve as a thread for cleaning up pages that suffer from many simultaneous issues at once, including some that may not have their own cleanup threads. If you see a page with formatting so bad or with so many formatting issues it cannot be cleaned up alone, this should hopefully be the right place to bring it.

I will start with Dead Horse Genre, which bizarrely has examples listed with exclamation marks (as in, !!s) rather than as bullets. Would anyone be willing to help reformat the page?

I'll see if I can help later.

I found Fanfic.Eyes Wide Open All The Time, which uses the namespace for all the tropes and has spaces between everything.

So, spaces in between examples is discouraged, right? Because Aqua Eclipse seems to be adding them to all the pages they make.

Don't know where else to put this, but Going Through the Motions needs some cleaning with Example Indentation in Trope Lists, as most examples either sound like comments or actual chained comments.

Bumping this. CreatorKiller.Video Games has all the names of the killed creators bolded for some reason, with the following note:

To keep things clean and neatly organized, please sort all titles alphabetically by studio or creator name (with the studio's name in bold).

The problem is, this practice/note are not in place on any of the other pages.

Is there a reason for this, and if not, should it be kept or deleted?

[up] Hmmm, to keep things consistent, maybe format it the same way as the other Creator Killer pages and delete that notice?

TheReasonYouSuckSpeech.Family Guy is entirely quotes, with almost zero actual description.

I'll get on the Creator Killer page when I get a chance. It's a lot of editing and I'm pretty tired right now but I'll get to it when I have more energy.

Alright, cleaned up the formatting on CreatorKiller.Video Games. It seems it was unilaterally bolded by Willy Four Eyes.

Bumping my previous post. I should note it’s also probably redundant as Family Guy has its own folder on Quotes.The Reason You Suck Speech Western Animation.

Found Characters.Com Media while wick cleaning, and the page is in very poor shape. Trope-slashing, tropes subbulleted under other tropes, ZCEs, etc. If someone can help with the page, that'd be greatly appreciated.

The Twilight Chronicles needs a lot of work. It's not even indexed.

While doing wick cleaning for Flagship Franchise, I came across Characters.The Warp Zone, which has wicks listed as Folder/Name, etc.

Just putting it here if someone wants to help fix it if I don't.

The description of Hard West has a folder detailing all the scenarios (which I assume are equivalent to levels) in the game. Is this necessary?

The formatting on WhatCouldHaveBeen.Plants Vs Zombies is a mess, and I'm not 100% sure how to fix it so I'm requesting help here.

[up] Late response, but I don't think it's a necessary list to have, and even if it is it's too long.

Sorry to double post, but to answer a previous question:

~Purple Eyed Guma Sorry for the late response, but I think you can move whatever quotes from the Family Guy "The Reason You Suck" Speech subpage that aren't on the Quotes page there, then probably Cut List the FG RYSS page since I don't think it's salvageable as is.

In Theatre.Six The Musical, the entire #-B folder seems to be empty, but the editing page shows the contents just fine. I don’t know how to fix it.

The float boxes on Industrial make it horrible to read on a small screen (e.g. phone).

Does it need some changes?
