Just noticed this when looking at the page for But What About the Astronauts? and I've definitely seen it a lot before. When a page refers to the apocalypse and potholes it into Apocalypse How, even though that is supposed to be a page for listing on works the scale of an apocalypse that occurs or threatens to occur on their ranking system. As I understand, if you are not specifically talking about ranking the extent of such a cataclysm you would use The End of the World as We Know It. Am I correct about that, and should those potholes be fixed?

Apocalypse How still has a Type Labels Are Not Examples problem - when I asked about it on ATT a while back, it was pending a review via Tropes Needing TRS.

There's a risk that anything significant done to the wicks now will just become wasted effort when that happens.

It's not even that I'm talking about, I'm talking about when Apocalypse How is potholed to something that just said "an apocalypse happens (or threatens to happen)", even though I thought Apocalypse How is just for classifying the seriousness of apocalyptic events, if you are just saying one happens that would be The End of the World as We Know It.

I second this. Apocalypse How suffers from both issues and needs to be looked into, in my opinion.

You keep using the term "POV". I do not think it means what you think it means.
