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.

Other than technical issues (see this Wiki Talk thread), all but one of the wicks to Main.Wing Commander have been changed to reflect the appropriate namespace. The exception is intentional, as Ambiguity Index is indexing disambiguation pages... like what Main.Wing Commander actually is, now. grin

I changed the wicks on the pages starting with the word "Continuity" for Doctor Who.

I'll remember to change wicks one chunk at a time for the next month or so.

grin I'm glad I'm not the only one working on Doctor Who. It's definitely the biggest project on the list.

I'm working backwards. I'm at the "T"s currently.

I finished The Heritage Of Shannara. There were only 28 wicks anyway.

Jumping back on this task after knocking out a few simpler works pages, I've started taking a swing at moving Main.Freefall wicks over to Webcomic.Freefall. At 460 wicks, though (the SBIG entry is another of those annoying bugs about moved pages), it's a bit of a long haul.

I've added Freefall to the list. (I also turned the old page into a redirect, and flagged the page so mods can move the discussion.)

Updates: The Super Mario Bros 2 wicks are finished. Doctor Who is down to 4226 wicks.

Pages with 100 or less wicks to move: Exiles, Bio Shock Infinite, Fablehaven, Flowers For Algernon, Wedding Crashers, Crime And Punishment, Grange Hill and Mortal Kombat.

Freefall discussion moved.

Also, everything above "F" on The Adventures Of Doctor Mc Ninja (including the punctuated title) is an artifact wick and can't be cleared.

Freefall wicks all moved to Webcomic.Freefall. The only hits remaining on Main are bugged wicks that can't be removed.

All wicks for Main.The Adventures Of Dr Mc Ninja have been moved. Still have the other redirects to do, though.

all links to Fablehaven now point to Literature.Fablehaven . There are only 2 artifact links from when the Tropers namespace was made.

Edit: Ape Escape, Arc The Lad, and Armored Core should all be added to the list. They're all video games.

@Madrugada: Oh, thank you! I'm pretty sure you helped out at one point, so thank you for that.

Back to moving wicks.
