Cleanup thread here.
A sandbox for cleaning up Once Upon a Time. This is where we post any questionable tropes and examples, and why we think they need to be changed or removed. Anyone is allowed to edit this.
Problems that need to be fixed include:
- Zero-context examples
- Opinions listed on non-YMMV pages
- Walls of Text
- Broken formatting
- Bad example indentation
- Improper usage of spoiler markup
- Tropes in the wrong alphabetical order
