This thread is intended to be a list of TRS and wiki repairs that have completed and still have wicks to be moved. If you have the time, please lend a hand to one of these efforts.
Before cleaning a trope, make sure to read the trope page(s) so that you know what the definition is so you can recognize misuse. Thanks.
See Administrivia.Wick Cleaning Projects for an in-progress list of mandated changes.

The cleanup folder seems to be for misuse moving/cleanup, not removal of wicks-as-trope-examples.
For tropes in the "Cleanup" section of Wick Cleaning Projects, what should generally be done with ZCEs? I see a lot of Those Two Guys examples on character pages that are just "with X". They don't have enough context to determine whether they're misuse or would fit another trope - should they be deleted? Or just hidden like any other ZCE?
the Retromancer
Not sure if Power Corrupts redirect being turned into a disambig in 2023 was due to some discussion, but it still has 61 wicks.

Baleful Polymorph is still gathering wicks

Working on fixing that one. I'm also notifying anyone who added wicks within the past six months or so (it feels odd to send notifiers for anything older than that).
Edit: And done.

Bigotry will NEVER be welcome on TV Tropes.
I've effectively finished cleaning the Series.Goosebumps wicks from all work-related and trope pages, but have left the entry because, aside from the wick in the "Wick Cleaning Projects" entry itself and the Ambiguity Index (which would remain even once the wick cleaning was done), there's still wicks on four sandboxes which I hesitate to edit.
Until next time...

How sweet it is
A Date with Rosie Palms is still attracting wicks. As it's now a redirect to an index, I'll try converting it to a green link. (Update: Conversion done)
Took care of a few, sending not a trope notifiers as I go.
Edit: Done; only cleanable wick left is in a troper's sandbox, so they've been messaged without a notifier.

Just wanna ask, why is The Hero under the "Removal" folder? Shouldn't it be under clean up because the only things to remove are examples, but inline wicks can stay?
