Some tropers (myself included) have been moving works from the Main/ namespace to the appropriate namespace. Unfortunately, some of these moves were done without the wicks being corrected to reflect the new namespaces.
There are more wicks than any one person could handle, so I'm posting here in hopes of getting help. Here is a list of pages that have been moved and need their wicks corrected. (Let me know if you spot any others, and I'll add them to the list.)
EDIT: The list has been moved to Administrivia.Wick Namespace Migration.
Add completed moves in Completed Namespace Migrations.

I'm going through the creators on Directors. Could someone double-check A-K (JJ Abrams to Akira Kurosawa) and update the relevant pages? (Wick Namespace Migration, CompletedMigrations.Creators)

TV Tropes' very wikibot
@Lady Momus: If this is okay, you may recreate the page and cutlist it.

Updating this thread with reference to a tool Eddie just brought online; it can list pages by page type by namespace; for example, this
is the list of pages in Main/ that are typed as "work".
Also, noting From The Ashes here, since it ought to get a proper title split.
I am also noting Heavy Metal, New Wave, Punk Rock and Emo, since all these pages ought to go in Main/. Same for UsefulNotes.Onmyodo, I believe.

I've disambiguated the From The Ashes fanfics by author titles.
Indeed, the new tool is very useful to locate pages under an incorrect namespace. Music/ is certainly the one needing the most work.

Does anyone agree/disagree with moving UsefulNotes.Onmyodo back to Main/?
It's also worth cleaning the WebOriginal/ namespace up a bit; many pages there belong in other namespaces.

I've run into a collision problem with Air Buddies: Normally, that would go into the Film/ namespace, but there is already Air Buddies there.

^Done, and I did all the work pages in the A and B range as well.
Apropos, I think it's worth listing a few observations regarding page types and namespaces:
- Work pages kept being created in Main/ as far as summer 2013; in fact, most such pages seem to be younger than 2011.
- The namespace+pagetype tools are not 100% precise; some pages haven't registered on them.
- There are a lot of pages that were created to get rid of ghost wicks; I've been cutlisting them as I come across them, or filing them under "contributor" (page type) when they are in Main/ so that we can get a list of them all.
- There are some "freak" ptitle pages that can't be cutlisted as the cutlist tool doesn't recognize their existence, but the pagemove tool can see and move them.
- A lot of people don't seem to be aware of the existence of the cutlist, given the number of blanked pages I've seen.
- There are plenty of list-type pages for which we don't have definitive namespaces for.
- There is a lot of Wiki Tropes that are typed as "administrivia", and it's unclear which namespace+pagetype combo is appropriate for them each.

Corrected namespace for Michelle Williams

never leave a page blank, either make it a redirect or use the cutlist to get rid of it. I am unsure of current policy on redirects to creator pages.
Hi
Same as others; if there's enough inbounds on the Main/ link to justify making it a redirect, then do so, if not then cutlist it.
PULL TO OPEN
Main.David Morrisey and Creator.David Morrisey to the correctly spelled Creator.David Morrissey — only a few wicks need to be changed.

Self thumping because as anyone who's seen it knows, this should be in the Laconic Description Improvement Drive thread.

Just moved Main.Sophie Okonedo to Creator.Sophie Okonedo.
Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they pretty
Blapper of Water
Moved Alan Turing and Alexander Brandon.
I'm not sure why Alexander Brandon is also an index page, though.

It's indexing his works, that's why.

I figured there was a reason. I just didn't know it. Thanks.
I also moved Zokusho and Zoe Kirk-Robinson.

Mac OS has been moved to the Useful Notes namespace. I've changed as many wicks as I could, but there may still be some left.
Aye, it still needs these wicks ported.
I have no idea what namespace https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DorudonCosplay goes into.
The description makes me think Music/.

Edited those pointing to Main.Godspell, to point to Theatre.Godspell and Film.Godspell, and added the wicks to their correct namespace. So, Godspell is completed, as far as wick migration from the Main namespace goes.
Thanks!
