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.

See, I asked about that in the general TRS thread when I was cleaning Moral Dilemma's wicks a couple of times but I got buried. I think since it's not just a straight disambiguation page, it defines Moral Dilemmas and goes into the different types that tropers should be wicking to, it's okay.
The only wicks I left were those pointing to the existence of them and using it as a definition/term, rather than an example.
E: Your Cheating Heart's wicks have been dealt with. Most were potholes, fortunately.

As I brought up before in the meta thread, Petting-Zoo People has gained 27 wicks despite having been merged
into Beast Man.

And here I am just wondering if it'll take another decade to clean up Biggus Dickus.
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.

There only seems to be one wick for Biggus Dickus that isn't an archive?

Vandagrye cleaned up the rest of the wicks a few weeks ago and removed it from the TRS Wick Cleaning page

...Apparently I didn't check to see if there were actually any wicks left. My bad.

So it looks like in 2019, a bunch of tropes with no TRS discussions were added by ~IúkaSylvie. Thoughts on if we should keep them?

Wick Namespace Migration also has some trope cleanup projects listed. I said I was going to move to Administrivia.TRS Wick Cleaning on the Observations thread a long time ago but I haven't. I don't think all of those pages have had TRS threads (might be wrong though) but I don't think they belong on Wick Namespace Migration because they are namespace migrations.
As for ^, it might be useful to have a general cleanup maintenance page.

Last year, Septimus said that the page could be used for projects besides TRS wick cleaning.
Big Catch, Sparkle Edition
That's fine then, though it definitely doesn't seem like the page is designed for that. Should we get the description and/or title changed at Outdated Pages?

this post bump. Moral Dilemma has 23 wicks left and all of them are on other tropes (Aside The Philosopher, all in the descriptions). Safe to remove from TRS Wick Cleaning?
(she/her)
I'd say so.
Macron's notes
With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility still has nearly two thirds of its wicks as Comes Great Responsibility. Should I add it to the cleaning projects as something to deal with? I’ve been slowly chopping away at wicks for a while, but this can make it a more official effort.
the Retromancer
I've always wondered about that, I've assumed the redirect was made because the full name is quite long.
TroperWall / WikiMagic Cleanup
The trope used to be called Comes Great Responsibility but it was renamed because the name was determined unclear.
How sweet it is
Skimming through the "Funny Aneurysm" Moment wicks. Right now I'm prioritizing non-YMMV pages, and finding some that say they're In-Universe with no proof that they actually are. So, if anyone wants to assist, keep an eye out.

Remind me,
- Administrivia.Tropes Are Tools has 249 wicks from Main.Tropes Are Tools redirect, should they be cleared up and potentially get the redirect removed?
- Is it even okay to pothole Tropes Are Tools in examples?
Big Catch, Sparkle Edition
I've found several of those while cleaning Uncanny Valley, and personally I always remove them.

Wiki/ThisVeryWiki is dewicked, but it says "found in 2 articles" when there's only one sandbox, what's pointing at it?
(Also moved all non-archive wicks from Main/TVTropes to Website/TVTropes while at it.)
Troper Wall-s are counted but not shown in Related lists, IIRC.

I'll test it.
Edit: Despite being wicked on my troper page and troper wall, neither made the counter change.

Well, now it says "Found in 1 Articles" for some reason? A.k.a decreased by 1?

Well, the remaining other wick was removed, yes.

Hmm, I was guessing before, it seems, here:
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/query.php?parent_id=101853&type=bug
But it appears fixable, if I was correct about Schoolgirl Lesbian(s).
Maybe edit the page type? Or is this what "Hidden Wicks" look like before rediscovery?

Your Cheating Heart has 45 wicks, even though it's an index redirect.

I'd like to apologize for all this.
