Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
I'd suggest making a sandbox and sorting out entries there. Maybe a short-term projects thread as well, but hard to say if anyone could help there. Once you're done, the page may warrant a lock.

Um, what exactly do you mean there by "making a Sandbox"? There seem to be multiple answers to that on the wiki, but none seems related to what you're probably actually suggesting...?
I'm pretty sure it already had a Trope Repair Shop thread within the past few years, but I don't recall what that thread decided to do (if anything).
As for what a sandbox is, it's a page type generally meant for temporary projects, such as holding drafts of text meant for other pages. For example, you could make Sandbox.Stylish Action (or Sandbox.Dylan Dog) for sorting through the trope's examples to see which ones are correct and which ones aren't.

I see. So a sort of free space to copy, paste and edit as a demonstration that can later be accepted as an update of the original? Ironically I cannot use Sandbox.Dylan Dog because it would show up for the comic book Dylan Dog my profile is based on lol

You could try Sandbox.Dylan Dog Sandbox instead.

Thanks. I guess that will not litter anything, how very nice.
The Stylish Action genre page has become complete anarchy. A huge lot of the examples are actually not typically considered part of the genre, they were just put there because the respective ones editing them in believe them to have deep combat systems, even though it's not just a deep combat system that defines Stylish Action and that... may count as stealth-gushing? I dunno. Anyway, for some flagrant examples of what should NOT be on that page: - Bulletstorm. The game was marketed as a game about style, that's true, but it includes litterally almost none of the actual mechanics the genre uses... sadly this tends to happen with such genre names. - Castlevania Lords of Shadow is NOT a Stylish Action game, as someone who played it. It is a normal Hack and Slash game, and it contains many, many elements that go aganist the Stylish Action genre philosophy while omitting many elements that would be there if it was part of that. - Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal... now this is just gratuitous glorifying. There is NOTHING in either of those games that has anything to do with the Stylish Action genre. - For the longest time, God of War was considered the comparable test for what was NOT a Stylish Action game. Make of that what you will, personally I cannot judge as I have never played it.
And these are just the FIRST FEW obvious ones. The list goes on for long and absurd genre attributions are aplenty still. Note that I do not have anything at all aganist games that I believe shouldn't be considered Stylish Action, I simply believe that: they shouldn't be considered Stylish Action.
But I don't quite know where to begin.
