Oh good, ok, done. Still need to sift through the links, though, but this decision definitely makes the cleanup a whole lot easier.
Oh, and I have finally found at least one wick that was referring to the work. It was on ThePollyanna.Literature. :)

On a separate-but-related note, I see that The Pollyana is a redirect to The Pollyanna, and appears on 68 pages. I think it should be de-wicked and cutlisted as an obvious misspelling, but I'm in the middle of going through Main.Pollyanna wicks, and probably won't have time to get to it soon, so if someone else wants to take a stab at fixing some of those wicks, it would be very useful.

eta x2: I feel a little slighted by this redirect. My most common misspelling of the word is "polyanna", as if it were related to polygon or polyvinyl chloride. But nobody made a redirect for my misspelling! ![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]"){kind=small}

Fixed the The Pollyana wicks with exception of a locked page and a ghost wick.

Oh wow, I figured it would be the first thing I'd do this evening, but now it's already done. Thanks Septimus. Man, you're fast at this stuff! :)
I suppose that means this thread is done, unless anyone has any last-second complaints about the redirect.
eta: (Yes, I finished checking all the wicks for Main.Pollyanna.)

Hi
Locking per request.
Ok, I just moved the novel Pollyanna to the Literature/ namespace, and when looking at the wicks, I discovered that the overwhelming majority are referring to the trope, The Pollyanna (which is a standard term outside this wiki for a character archetype based on the book).
So, currently, Main.Pollyanna is pointing to Literature.Pollyanna, and my first thought would be to make it a disambiguation page, but since I have yet to find a wick for the book, I was thinking it might be better to have Main.Pollyanna point to the trope!
(I already added a note at the top of the trope to help disambiguate, since you never know how people will link things.)
Is this a horrible idea? We'll still have to go through the 142 wicks (and I could use help with that in any case), but if we use my approach, almost none of them will have to be changed.
