I say start by removing potholes from within the quotes. Per Administrivia.Sinkhole, quotes do not have links in their original format. They are either not necessary or used for a quote that ultimately does not fit the trope.

^ I thought potholes were okay within the quotes page itself?

It's only okay to pothole tropes if the writing itself would spell a trope name. Other kinds of potholes cannot be used.

Example 1: "You Monster!! How dare you slay my family!" This one is the type you use.

Example 2: "I have kept my promise. Now, do we have a deal?" This is the type you don't use.

^^ Quotes on Quotes Wiki follow the same rules as quotes on main pages. They just aren't as enforced.

Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.
