The formatting on this page appears to have broken a bit. The titlebar for "Dark Souls" cuts through the image. I've taken a look at the page myself but I'm not seeing anything distinctly wrong. Could someone with more experience take a look and try to fix it?

It looks like I will have to delete Gwyn's entry in That One Boss since the page definition outright bans final bosses. I'm not so sure about Manus, since he's not part of the main story.

Final Bosses aren't banned. They just have to be unrealistically hard by Final Boss standards to count.

The Capra Demon has a strategy where you can kill him with Firebombs, before you even enter the fog gate. Does a tactic as cheesy as this invalidate him from the "That One Boss" trope?
Not really. This trope records opinions (is an Audience Reaction) and that some disagree with a given one doesn't invalidate it.

I think the mass deletion of examples on this page is particularly unwarranted, considering fighting a few of them is necessary to unlock different endings or finish the downloadable content. Regardless of whether or not some people may deem these bosses 'necessary' or 'mandatory', I think there's some clout to keeping some of them on the list. Also, many examples like the Hellkite Dragon in DS 1 and the Stray Demon in DS 3 could technically qualify as a Bonus Boss or Optional Boss, yet they remain untouched.
If nothing else, I think certain examples should be placed under their own headers or folders strictly for DLC.
