Wick Migration

Go To

Some tropers (myself included) have been moving works from the Main/ namespace to the appropriate namespace. Unfortunately, some of these moves were done without the wicks being corrected to reflect the new namespaces.

There are more wicks than any one person could handle, so I'm posting here in hopes of getting help. Here is a list of pages that have been moved and need their wicks corrected. (Let me know if you spot any others, and I'll add them to the list.)

EDIT: The list has been moved to Administrivia.Wick Namespace Migration.

Add completed moves in Completed Namespace Migrations.

I have no real comment on further action with Yu-Gi-Oh, as I've never been a fan.

Okay, so for some bizarre reason, Main.Life On Mars leads to the British series, while Series.Life On Mars goes to the American show. What?

Similar problems with Main.Nightshade and VideoGame.Nightshade.

Yes, it wouldn't be, but it's more appropriate to put that in Tech Wishlist

WesternAnimation.The Adventures Of Jimmy Neutron has been moved to the correct title, WesternAnimation.The Adventures Of Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius and the discussion and review need to be moved. (Yes, I'm hollering this time.)

You don't need a moderator for review moves; I've already moved that review. See How To Move A Page.

According to the history of Main.How To Move A Page, that used to be impossible. Well I guess that is yet another page to put on my watchlist. Or just read it every single time I want to move a page.

Is this where the effort to move works to the media namespaces is organized?

May I put in a request for Folklore to be moved soon? It's conflicting with an entire genre which currently has no page. I can't even create a disambiguation page in Main with that video game article sitting there.

I'll add that this only has 44 wicks, so that should make it relatively easy, right? (Of course, some of those wicks intend the genre, not the game...)

Works always go tot heir namespaces. Yes, you are supposed to move them.

Main.Final Fantasy to VideoGame.Final Fantasy. Please note that this is the page for the series, not the first game in the series. As there are over 2000 wicks, this may take a while.

My post in 351 still stands. Also, does split a franchise into multiple works qualify here?

Apologies if this has been mentioned before or if this is the wrong place, but I noticed we have VideoGame.Castlevania64 and Castlevania64 as separate pages, while they're identical. Should the latter be made a redirect to the former? If so, can someone move the wicks?

Looks like someone forgot to make the main page a redirect I fixed it. It only has 53 wicks it won't be too hard to fix them all.

I am requesting for a new Works namespace to be added to the list:

PuppetShow/

For the titles already in the index Puppet Shows.

I know a new namespace isn't somethig to be considered lightly, but I think this one is a good addition. Those shows are distinct from live-action series and animation.

Some of them are already being moved to Series/, so a decision should be settled quickly.

Yes, we need a "propose new namespaces" thread there.

Found another duplicate: Lugaru and VideoGame.Lugaru. There are very few wicks on the former, but I'm in the middle of another cleanup to handle it myself.

I have moved Mercy Thompson to the literature namespace, but there are about 100 wicks that need to be namespaced.

[up] Add it to the Wick Namespace Migration sandbox and someone might get to it. The Wick Namespace Migration page is were you put works that have too many wicks for one person to do alone.

Ah, a thread for my questions. I'm going through all of the Korean stuff (and manhua as well, I guess).

  • Han-guk Manhwa Aenimeisyeon - how do I namespace these? The animated films are mostly under "film" (should they stay there?) but the series? It's not live action, it isn't anime and it obviously isn't western animation.
  • Korean Webtoons - it's a sub-genre of manhwa that gets put up online. Webcomic/ or manhwa/? Either is technically true.
  • Toys - do they stay on main/? Eg. Lego

For your first question, Asian Animation and Han-guk Manhwa Aenimeisyeon don't have namespaces yet and they need them. We were discussing what namespaces they should have on this thread. Toy's don't have a namespace either.
