Is there a creator namespace cleanup thread? If not, where would questions about creator pages best go?
"Squid has to go to market. He's had to go to market for as long as he's sucked water."I failed to find a Quotes/ page cleanup, so I'm unsure where this would go, but while cleaning up Quotes.Five Nights At Freddys I noticed that the quotes page has a long detailed section on Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator, but that game already has its own quotes page. The FFPS quotes page and the FFPS section on the overall quotes page share almost all of their quotes with each other. What should be done about that?
"Squid has to go to market. He's had to go to market for as long as he's sucked water."Is there a thread for the Ass Pull trope?

Due to unfortunate events, i will continue to exist until further notice. (also i'm fluid now)What's "Forum Win"?
Disambig Needed: Help with those issues! tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13324299140A37493800&page=24#comment-576I recall there being a plagiarism cleanup, but maybe I'm searching with the wrong word or I'm not searching far enough. Could anyone help direct me to it please?
LightNovel.Jujutsushi Wa Yuusha Ni Narenai has a description with all the same words as over here.
Ahhh that's what it was, thanks!

Pantheon Wick CleaningThe Copy/Paste Cleanup Thread sounds like the one you want.
Where do we go for general misuse? I've looked through DeconstructedCharacterArchetype.The 100 Girlfriends Who Really Really Really Really Really Love You and few if any of the examples look like actual deconstructions (Most look like "Character X is archetype Y, but/because..." followed by something exaggerated or not that out-of-place from a standard work in its genre). In fact that page alone has me wondering if there should be a Short Term cleanup for this manga (I'm unfamiliar with it though) to check if there's shoehorns to inflate its trope count, since I've suddenly seen it pop up a lot on this wiki.
and Okay, thanks.

I write stories about naked people beating demons, gods, and eldritch horrors.Is this an example? is probably a good start if you need a view on possible misuse.
If it becomes clear that it's a widespread issue on the page and needs a coordinated effort to fix, the usual approach is to raise an ATT query and then, if tropers agree, a cleanup thread can be started in Short-Term Projects.
We have a general misuse cleanup thread.
Macron's notesdoes anyone know how to fix this?
Think it was the closure tag on the note. I've just amended it.
Ask The Tropers is probably a better place for that sort of query, though - I don't think (?) we have a formatting help thread.
We do.
Formatting cleanup in general, started by me.
TRS Queue | Works That Require Cleanup of Complaining | Troper WallIs there a thread for discussing what spelling, capitalization ect. to use for a character's name (or other terms in a work)? Part of me feels like it could work better as an ATT but just felt like checking first
EDIT: I just made it an ATT instead

shouldn't his favorite genre be RPG and not point and click thoughIs there an Unpublished Works thread?
TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupI was about to ask the same thing, since I noticed that Fanfic.Total Xtreme Island says it was "purged from the Internet in 2018". (I haven't tried to find it in an archive yet, though.)
online since 1993 | huge retrocomputing and TV nerd | lee4hmz.info (under construction) | heapershangout.comWe don't, although I'm not sure if that area is even meant to be curated. It's in Darth for a reason.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessI was thinking more "a discussion of works that may need to be moved there because their source material has become inaccessible" more than curating what was already there. I thought sure we had a thread for that.
online since 1993 | huge retrocomputing and TV nerd | lee4hmz.info (under construction) | heapershangout.comIf Darth doesn't need to be curated, then I'll leave it for another topic. I was considering bringing up it acting as a dump for works that aren't published and aren't worked on in a decade.
TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupSounds vaguely familiar; I know the Roleplay cleanup has done a lot of that, so maybe that's what you're thinking of?
Well, yeah. The entire point is for the area to be for people to dump their nonexistent works.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessJust a question: Where do we cleanup examples that violate the Examples Are Not Arguable rule? Cause I found a few examples that use "arguably".
She/Her | Currently cleaning N/AWould we even need a cleanup thread for that? Just remove the “arguably” parts.
Well, sometimes you need to ask if the trope is even an example. Oftentimes, if it's only "arguably" so, it's not. Or it needs to be rewritten for clarity.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure Pureness
Where do we go to about ideas for new Useful Notes?
