Wick Migration

Telcontar: You forgot to set the page type. If you don't, it can fill up untyped pages with ghost wick pages.

@St Fan (Nr. 523): That issue is currently unresolved. There's an open crowner on whether the Disney/ namespace should contain Disney animated films that are not part of the Disney Animated Canon (like the Pixar films). (Looks like it's going for "Disney Animated Canon only", though.)

Okay, I'll wait a bit then. Though it's shaping up as Disney/ being reserved to the Disney Animated Canon.

@Septimus (525):

How does this look as an addition to How To Move A Page (following directly after the "Handling Wicks" section):

Ghost Wicks

I can make the edit to the actual page at any time, but I'd like to get some feedback on it before I modify admin-level pages.

Just pout in a paragraph in the wick moving folder of How To Move A Page. In fact, I'll do it.

Done, in fact. Look at it.

I fail to see how I'm supposed to learn what should be done in these scenarios if you're just going to do it all yourself.

But I guess it ultimately doesn't matter as long as it gets done in the end. For that, thank you for taking care of it.

EDIT: All of Cold Case's wicks have been whacked over to the proper namespace.

EDIT 2: Namespaced Invincible. All 186 wicks moved, 1 ghost wick moved to cutlist.

El Goonish Shive is done but hasn't been put in Completed Namespace Migrations. Editing on Wii, so can't do it myself.

I'll do that for you, and clear it out of the 'needs to be migrated page'

Moved it out of the 'needs to be migrated' page - someone else put it in completed for you.

It wasn't me that did it, I just noticed it was done.

I finished Gunnerkrigg Court. I think I'm going to do xkcd next.

Currently working on Red Dwarf

Currently working on the WebVideo/ ones. So much TGWTG.

xkcd is now done. I think I should get back to working on namespacing video games, like Golden Sun and Metroid.

Okay... I finished moving the Metal Gear saga to the video game namespace. Moving their wicks is going to be a real problem though.

For starters, there are a lot of wicks of Metal Gear Solid that use it to refer to the series as a whole; those need to be changed to Metal Gear instead, and those who are correct need to have the VideoGame/ namespace added.

The numbered sequels are another problem, since there are wicks of them both with and without the subtitles, for example Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons Of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 2; adding VideoGame/ to either of them will lead to the article.

And finally, a lot of the examples I've found are a natter filled, Justifying Edit mess. Cleaning them up is going to be quite a pain.

How do you do that box thing around the list?

[[folder]

[[/folder]

I started moving VideoGame.Rayman to the proper namespace, but concerns, on this site and in real life, have eaten up much of my time. As I'll have very little time this week to be on, I'd hope that one or more of you guys could whack the just over 300 wicks to the main-namespace page.

A link to them can be found here.

If anyone wants a couple of quick and easy projects, I just added WKRP (180),Easy A (76), (500) Days of Summer (50) to the main list. I also added Malcolm in the Middle (632) if anyone is interested.

EDIT: That list is getting extremely long. Should we sort it somehow? Put it into folders? It could be alphabetically (what we currently have) or maybe sort it into what that new namespace should be and have a seperate list for works that need to be moved to multiple namespaces. I'm not going to touch that list until I get some sort of approval.

I've also got three wicks of Dead Gorgeous that need to be moved to Series. I'm at the library, and those three pages are considered porn by the library computer.

Done.

There have been a lot of small (<50 wicks) Webcomics added to the list. We should be able to whack these quickly.

Regarding the Metal Gear franchise, I moved the original game to Metal Gear 1987 and fixed all its wicks. Now the article for the series as a whole is in VideoGame.Metal Gear, and it has over a thousand wicks to Main.Metal Gear.

Just stumbled across Vorkosigan Saga which was moved to Literature.Vorkosigan Saga, but over 800 wicks, plus some redirects in main with their own wicks, were all left behind. I added it to the work page.

I just moved Disgaea, Tales Series and Shin Megami Tensei to Franchise/. Currently working on Shin Megami Tensei's 780+ wicks on main. I'm also fixing the wicks for One Piece and Haruhi Suzumiya.

Just moved JAG to Series/. Wow, for a Long Runner, I expected more than 215 wicks.

EDIT: Also moved SVU to Series/ and the disambig. page for Law and Order to Franchise/. Can someone please check my work to make sure I didn't screw up or forget to do anything? I also sent this query to Ask the Tropers.
