TURN OFF THAT LIGHT!
I'm pretty sure none of the mods care about JBM.
Regulated fun - the best kind! I don't make the rules, just enforce them with an iron fist.
What do you mean exactly? They've banned people for deleting JBM entries. If somebody ran a bluenose bowdlerizer over the page, they'd get banned. If someone ran a script that looked for certain phrases like, say, "fucking stupid" or "made a hash of" and replaced them with "kinda dumb" and "did not do well by," respectively, I think they'd be made to stop.
I am almost semi-quasi-done with my crusade against the blue links. We have became sSlEiVgEhRtElLyY unsane in the process. Got another ~160 from what was about 350 to go. A bunch of them I haven't removed because:
- A - In the trope description.
- 2 - Wicks from other parts of Darth Wiki.
- IA! - Wicks on Troper pages.
- A - Locked page, Fan Fic/Forbiden Fruit The Tempation Of Edward Cullen that I recall atm.

Minotaur- I can't find it. Could use some help on the Pokemon/Spongebob pages at the moment.

Milestone moment - it appears that Wall Banger has now been cleared from everything in Main, so that just leaves the subpages now.

It seems like new items keep appearing even though people aren't adding Wall Banger items. I think what is happening is that the Related to... doesn't detect certain pages that haven't been updated in a long time. Then, when somebody makes an edit, it pushes it onto the related to... page for Wall Banger, even though Wall Banger was already there on that page.

Yes, I've noticed something like this when I kept checking for wicks to this one page that was cut. The related to feature needs some tweaking I think.

That's it. Except for any others that might show up because of the above-mentioned "Related to..." problem, we are done.
Regarding Troper pages - if it was simply a pothole, I just killed it with a comment that it's now a redlink. If it was referenced in a list, then I redirected it to Darth Wiki, again with an explanation.

Just wanted to bump this and give people a friendly reminder check in on Wall Banger from time to time. New pages are still appearing on the "related to" page every day, some of which I'm not certain how to deal with.

Got most of 'em. Are we removing it from troper pages? I didn't think so.

If it's on troper pages, I would think it should be linked to the Darth Wiki page if it's going to stay. Linking to a blank page is kinda silly.
Also, if I understand correctly, you mods can edit a page, and then set it to be redlinked, correct? If so, I think it would be a good idea to include a banner on that page saying that we don't anyone using the link in the main pages. You know, like the one on the Darth Wiki page. It won't hurt, and it might discourage a few more people.
BTW: if the Related To.. search is having problems, you may just want to use google. Try this URL
*, which will find everything in Main. Change Main to whatever you want for other namespaces. It'll find a few pages that that don't fit (like cut pages), but it's the best I can do with Google.

Only Eddie can set a page to look like a redlink even if it exists in the wiki. Also, editing the page will turn it back into a bluelink until Eddie revisits it.

Is it regrowing?
What I noticed with Most Triumphant Example is that the redlinks stopped showing up in the wicks until somebody edited the article, which made them show up again.
Rhymes with "Protracted."
Hmm, well, personally, I tend not to take action unless I'm clear on ruling, but I can see your logic. It's just stepping on people's toes a bit to reword their stuff so you're basically forced to put words in their mouths — to guess at whether by "wallbanger" they meant something was "nonsensical" or "stupid" as opposed to "aggravating" or "lazy".
