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.

May Jehovah, Allah, Amaterasu and Solid Snake have mercy on the poor soul that will have to deal with those.
"Yeah, it's a shame. Here we are in an underground cave with all these lasers, and instead of having a rave we're using it for evil."Wicks for Mitsumete Knight (an article I created and was on my watch) all moved to the newly created namespace. Oreochan actually beat me to the punch for moving the last 10 or so wicks out of the 185 ones. :p
Important question I'd like to ask, before someone tries to namespace move Tokimeki Memorial: that franchise is huge, with several video games and anime. I plan to create in the near future articles for the various items of the series (most notably, Tokimeki Memorial, Tokimeki Memorial 2, Tokimeki Memorial Drama Series, Tokimeki Memorial 2 Substories, and Tokimeki Memorial Only Love).
So, what's the current stance for "franchise" -type articles? I see Harry Potter keeping the regular namespace, but Ace Attorney given the Visual Novel one. It's confusing.

This is why I fear every entry on Migration page that is marked for Anime or Manga...

Well...I moved The Grapes of Wrath. I'm thinking of doing some of the smaller literature ones.
I pity the person who does Discworld though. About 3k last I checked.

While you guys were arguing about the most difficult work to move, Oreochan and I worked on Death Note, and it's below 1000 now.

Discworld already has franchise pages.

He means Discworld.The Colour Of Magic and so forth, which has nothing to do with moving the wicks on Main.Discworld. Kind of an artifact that's a bitch to clean up.

May I suggest that going on about what work has more wicks is getting somewhat off-topic for this thread?
On an unrelated note Earl of Sandvich suggested, in the discussion page for the sandbox article, that we consider making another page for finished works. Since right now the article is at a little over 350K characters in length and at 400K things start getting to the point of making the page work wonky, I think he has a good idea. After thousands of wicks, what's one more move, after all?

All your safe space are belong to TrumpSounds good to me. I'm now doing the ptitle markup cleanup, so that'll be me gone for a while.
Keeper of The Celestial FlameI'll do it. So what shall we call that destination then?
I now go by Graf von Tirol.That'll work. Moved!
I now go by Graf von Tirol.Awesome possum. Moving stuff from the unsorted into the right folders now.
What should we do with Disney/? Its own folder, or shunt it into Film/?
Well, I'm a bit confused on one thing: Officially (or so I see in the Namespace page), we are to put any film that's either Anime or Western Animation in the respective namespace of its animation style (like WesternAnimation.The Thief And The Cobbler for instance), yet I see plenty of "completed" pages on animated films under Film/. What shall we do about this then (like, leave them the way they are or rewick the works to the respective animation styles or something)?
EDIT: And now everything except the animated films have been sorted.

I now go by Graf von Tirol.Keep Disney. It's there because the stuff they do is iconic faerie tales, half the time, which have more than one version such as Films and Animated Adaptations that aren't Disney. And the Disney version can be very different to the rest. Compare Disney's Aladdin to The Thief Of Bagdad or the original One Thousand And One Nights.

Keeper of The Celestial Flame@Earl of Sandvich: Animated films that are not Anime or Disney Animated Canon should go to WesternAnimation/ (Source).
Unfortunately, many editors are not aware of this and keep moving animated films to Film/; sometimes even from the WesternAnimation/ namespace.
I think there is no decision yet for Eastern European Animation, Korean Animation, and a few others listed on Animated Shows.
Let's just say and leave it at that.Aye. Yeah, thanks!
Anyways, I believe that films like Who Framed Roger Rabbit would still do fine in the namespace it's set to. Dunno about the likes of Space Jam though...

Whoever's gonna do World of Warcraft all on his/her own, I extend every bit of sympathy for the pain of 3000+ wicks, as well as major kudos. As for me, I faced off the entire Deus Ex trilogy, Team Fortress 2 and both Portal games combined (the vast majority wicks from these anyways...)
