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.

For your second question, comics that are published independently online should be under Webcomic, not Manhwa. This is for the same reason why Japanese-style webcomics aren't classified as Manga.

Hi, I'd like to have the Main Persona 2 discussion page's post moved to the Video Game/ Persona 2 namespace. smile (And now I will holler this for it to be moved smile.)

Earl of Sandvich has moved the article for Twinbee in the Video Game namespace today; this is an article I often contribute to, and keep a close watch on.

As such, I've taken upon myself to take care of the wicks. Mission completed, all 73 wicks are moved to the new namespace.

<Mod Hat>

Creator pages all need to be migrated to the Creator/ Namespace as well. Thank you for all your hard work.

Per this thread, I've moved Terry Pratchett to the Creator namespace. (See also Shima's post).

He's got a pretty large wick count (1100 wicks or so at this time), and I need a mod to move the old discussion page.

Moved Steven Moffat, Russell T Davies and Terrance Dicks to Creator/. Not sure there's much posterity over an argument over sexism though to move Moffat's discussion page.

While I was doing Terry Pratchett, I also put Strata (one of his works) on the Literature/ namespace. I'm hoping I can clear some of the wicks from both at the same time.

I just finished Sonic Adventure 2. The one link to the Main/ page is intentionally not namespaced, but that's all that remains.

And now, because I'm incredibly bored, I'm going to see how far I can get on Death Note in two hours.*

reminds me that I got through quite a lot of homestuck wicks a while back. I've finished doing Ow My Sanity, (it wasn't on the list - but I put it in Completed.)

OK, who moved the Rurouni Kenshin Wiki? That should go under MANGA. Not anime! That whole thing needs to be moved!

sad Looking at the related page, there was either never a Manga/ namespace of it to begin with, or it was cut-listed.

Going to remove all WebOriginal/ entries from the migration page as the namespacing issue is still being decided upon on the Wiki Talk forum crowner*

.

EDIT: Done, and if it turns out to be voted against, I'll restore all those entries as they appeared at the time.

Ace Attorney had its namespace changed a while ago, but it wasn't on the wick migration list. I'll do what I can (1659 wicks. Oh boy, here we go...)

[up] Yeah, I feel your pain, as I felt like I moved most of the Team Fortress 2 wicks.

And chances are, pending the WebOriginal/ split, I'm gonna have to re-migrate The Nostalgia Critic's wicks, among some others. :O

Found one that needs to be moved, posting it here because I don't understand how to put it on the sandbox page: Hey Hey Its Saturday (an Australian TV show?)

Moved Kabuki, and left a redirect: I'd have thought it would need to be a disambiguation, but we don't seem to have a page for Kabuki theatre. We probably should, but I know nothing about it.

lebrel, the guide to moving a page onto the namespace is here, and you just leave a note here if it has a lot of wicks that need moving to correct namespace.

Don't ask me, I just fix wicks.

I also sympathise with the person/people who does/do Haruhi Suzumiya. In about a week, I got Main.The Bible down from 2100 to 1300. Then I began loosing the will to live...

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
