I'm also pitching in to lighten the load. One of those wicks was in a locked page, so submitted a request. The mysterious person you have mentioned may have been me, since I was dewicking that too, though there may be others pitching in. Then again, I may have halted at that point due to it being late. Who knows.

she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportThe number of links to Two Words Obvious Trope have been brought down to 11. The last pages are either locked pages, faulty (i suppose) redirects, or pages with already removed links, it might take a while to update.
Hmmm, it usually updates straight away, so yeah, something's up if they are still showing up regardless of whether or not the wick's removed.
Edit: Some of those problem pages are cutlisted, provided that they were indeed ghost wicks or pages with contents that are migrated.

she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportCheck the markup beneath the redirect. Sometimes, people redirect pages without removing the prior content.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanThey don't appear to be redirects; they were mainly ghost wicks and subpages that wouldn't stand on their own as is. The only glitched page that still shows up that hasn't been sent to the cutlist is AwesomeMusic.Taylor Swift, which needs to be looked into. Maybe check on it later, and if it still appears, report the issue? The only links there are outbound ones.
Aside from that, YKTTW Guidelines is the only one that needs the wick adjusted (the other's an archive), and it's locked. Should have mentioned that in the edit lock thread; oh well.

she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportIf a null edit does not remove a ghost wick, try making an edit that consists in removing or adding a wiki link. I've done so and it has worked. Got the locked page as well.

she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportLooks like every wick has been cleaned up, but there are still a few ghost wicks floating around, it seems.
Looks like we're just about finished here, aside from the YKTTW that is still sitting there waiting for updates/launch.
she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportSince the miscount version has launched, motion to lock.
she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportLocking this then.

Crown Description:
It was like 2-3 hours of..."work" over the last 2 days, but i fixed all the redirects to Two Words from 110 to 0. Maybe i got some help from another one, thank you mysterious one. Now onto Two Words Obvious Trope, i guess.
