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.

Going to clear those two out. The "alternative former Trope Namer" bit is pure cruft.
Edit: The Zelig is done and cutlisted.

Just a heads up that I'm cleaning up / moving wicks out of UsefulNotes.HM The Queen to UsefulNotes.Elizabeth II. I have only 50 more to do, but I'm going to take a break.
I also plan on doing some of the smaller wick clean ups on Wick Cleaning Projects when I can find the time.
Friends forevermore
Remember that anything referring to QEII as if she's still alive needs to be reworded, either to past tense or to replace with a reference to Charles III.
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.
^yup doing that as I go.
Finished with the HM The Queen clean up
(wrong thread, took it to Wick Migration
instead)

Opera Gloves still has wicks: 195 to be exact.
I split The Incredibles from their similarly named entries, namely The Incredibles, The Incredibles Comic Book, and The Incredibles (Game). Would we list all three on the Wick Cleaning page?
Comic Book isn't the preferred disambig style. We don't want them to just restate the medium.

Ohhh okay so for the Comic Book what do you think it should be named instead?
Replace with "2009", I'd say. years are usually good.
...
Franchise.The Incredibles - Why's "Family Matters" on the list? It's one of the 2009 comic's arcs, right? Splitting it out like that makes it seem like it's not?
Or are there two "Family Matters"?

Tbh I’m not sure. I mainly split the entries that have similar names.
Well, you can either move the content to ComicBook.The Incredibles 2009 yourself, or ask a mod to "revert your change to ComicBook.The Incredibles and move it [there]" on the Locked Pages thread.
I still need to move Series/Perception wicks, so I'm not gonna take on another responsibility until I'm done.

I renamed the thread from "Rename/Transplant wick cleaning" to Wick Cleaning Projects to match the Wick Cleaning Projects sandbox + broaden the thread's scope.

A Worldwide Punomenon still has 49 wicks, including the ones we can't change. Shouldn't take too long if someone wants to help.

Sorry to double post, but Unlucky Childhood Friend has 1411 wicks despite being merged long ago. If anyone's looking for a big project, that's one.
Friends forevermore
The VideoGame.FIFA Soccer to VideoGame.EA Sports FC move is imminent; most likely, the new game will be shown off by the end of this weekend.

Finished cleaning A Worldwide Punomenon. Most wicks had to be deleted because they were just puns on their own.
Also, for ^^ Victorious Childhood Friend has 708 wicks to clean. I think neither redirect was cleaned after the merge.

Go Look At The Distraction has gained 31 wicks since its 2020 TRS. Letting this thread know in case anyone wants to tackle them.
The Gump was renamed to Been There, Shaped History in 2012, but I see wicks and "gumping" on pages, is it fine to rephrase those?
Also The Zelig remained as "alternative former TropeNamer", I'm not sure what that means.
