Line 60:
* [[Your Mileage May Vary]]: Unfortunately, a lot of tropers feel the need to pothole this as some kind of bizarre excuse to shoehorn their opinion into an example on the main page. Personal opinions do not belong on the main page, and neither do [[Your Mileage May Vary]] potholes. If you come across any instances of this, please remove them.
▲== Former Pothole Magnets that had their wicks cleaned up ==
* [[Understatement]]: Formerly used by editors to point proudly at their own understatement - or, worse, [[sinkhole]]d into lines which demonstrated the polar opposite of understatement. Was incorrectly potholed on over 8700 pages before a concerted effort to clean it up was made between August and October 2011. When the clean-up was done, the correct wicks numbered about 600. A second clean-up begain in May 2012 when incorrect potholes began to increase the total wicks above 900 again.
== Tropes that have been renamed due to misguided Pothole Magnetism ==▼
* [[Accidental Nightmare Fuel]]: Originally, this trope was simply called Nightmare Fuel. This has led an absolutely massive amount of potholes involving things that the [[Troper]] who posted them found scary.
* The "Artistic License - X" tropes were like this because they used to be known as "You Fail X Forever" and "X Does Not Work That Way."
