Wick Migration

Should I remove Trope Overdosed from trope lists? Asking here before I go through a bunch of Main.Trope Overdosed wicks.

It's not a trope, so it should be removed where it is listed as such.

Oh, hai Nombre!

Yeah, that makes sense; it's more of a fun way to catalogue tropes, but it's definitely not a trope itself.

hiya

Coincidentally, I was also de-wicking Main.Trope Overdosed when I saw .

Just finished moving the main page and subpages of Literature.Graceling to Literature.Graceling Realm. All that's left is changing the link names, some of which I've already taken care of. (One of them is an admin page that's locked so don't worry about that one.) Will get back to that tomorrow.

ETA: Finally finished dewicking Literature.Graceling. Got very sidetracked.

ETA 2: Moved Manga.Mars and Series.Mars to Manga.Mars 1996 and Series.Mars 2004 respectively, in order to avoid subpage collision. Wicks have been taken care of.

Just redirected the Characters page for Lupin III Tokyo Crisis to Lupin III Crisis In Tokyo, in order to prevent the page from being orphaned from the main work.

With literally 2 lines both the Characters/ page and the redirect should just be cut.

Just moved the contents from Film.The Muppets and Series.The Muppets to The Muppets (2011) and The Muppets (2015). For ease of organization and to avoid confusion, on top of having too much clutter on the subpages for the main Franchise.The Muppets page.

The following pages have been moved:

• Literature.Blackbird —> Literature.Blackbird 1986
• Film.Blackbird —> Made into a redirect to the above
• Manga.BlackBird —> Manga.Black Bird 2006
• Theatre.Blackbird —> Theatre.Blackbird 2005

In the process of moving wicks.

MI6's wick count grew from 2 to 62 due to nobody checking that it gets Wiki Word'ed in the preview. I'll get to cleaning them in favor of UsefulNotes.Secret Intelligence Service, but pointing here in case anyone wants to go ahead.

Wicks for the listed pages have been moved. There are a couple for Manga.Black Bird that I couldn't move due to either the page not technically existing or having it be admin locked.

- The Procedure for that is to use this Locked Pages Edit Thread to request changes:

wicks i've moved lately just for posterity, since i didn't see this thread until now lol

• UsefulNotes.Hair Color In Japan to UsefulNotes.Hair Color In Japanese Media (more accurate to the article's contents)
• Fanfic.Sonic Origins to Fanfic.Sonic Origins Ri 2 (due to...)
• VideoGame.Sonic Origins 2022 to VideoGame.Sonic Origins (official work takes priority)
• Anime.Animal Crossing to Anime.Animal Crossing The Movie (more accurate name translation, avoids sub-page clashing; split its entries from Trivia.Animal Crossing and YMMV.Animal Crossing to appropriate sub-pages)
• Characters.Animal Crossing Anime to Characters.Animal Crossing The Movie (per above)

~500 wicks in total, IIRC, to move to their targets and these other disambigs if they get made:

• Series.Life
• VideoGame.Rage
• Manga/Life > Life (2002)
• Series.Free Spirit > Free Spirit (1989)
• Webcomic.Life to Life (2012)

Looks like Wick Migration was originally for wick-moving projects when namespaces change. The page still exists, just somewhere else. Wick Cleaning now might involve sorting to other tropes or completely removing wicks.

Yes, that's correct.

Moved several pages:

• Film.The Game => Film.The Game 1997
• Literature.The Game => Literature.The Game 2005
• VideoGame.The Game => VideoGame.The Game 2008

I already updated the indexes, posting for help with the links and subpages.

I think I just lost The Game.

Damnit!

Working through The Game since I finished my post. Video Game and Literature have IThoughtThatWas.F To K left, which notes all the things, and looks like we need to disambig even more.

...

Fanfic... At least it's red. Archive DarkAlliGator, and there's Nokturnal Augury poem, okay, so I know what to do there...

...

Music.The Game is not Music.The Game Queen... Really just need to know the disambig name then the wicks can be corrected. Maybe we just move him to his redirect, Game?

Gotta remember to clean the Creator/ redirect then delete it?

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Music/OliviaRodrigo

Or should we keep it?

Also, working on Music.The Cure. <300 wicks left.

VideoGame.Mouse Trap looks like its history can be summarized easily for a manual move.

Just clean this and redirect to Main. Done.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Series/Kingdom

...

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Music/UnderworldBand

...

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Music/FirstLove

Clean then change to a disambig with Music.First Love Mike Love Album.

—-

Music.Kaya

is not Music.Kaya Bob Marley Album

—-

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/SelfInsert

So I can turn that redirect into a disambig with Music.

Anyone know if the wick from Kirk's Rock to Kung Fu, is for Kung Fu The Movie?

Wikipedia has no sources for its info...

FunnyAneurysmMoment.Film presumably is, but Wikipedia says nothing about strangulation?

Edit: the disambig thread will handle eventually.

Working on cleaning Music.Genesis

Looking for wrong / bad namespaces... https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/articlecount.php?&page=29

Also remember the https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=Fanfiction namespace needs moves? Although it has fewer, but newer works than last I checked?

Hello, this isn't really namespace-related, but the sandbox seems to cover some disambiguation too? I have a few disambiguation wick-cleaning projects I've been chipping away at myself for a while now, and I was wondering if it was okay to add them to the sandbox. Specifically:

• Film.Carrie: 148 wicks. Should be Film.Carrie 1976 (maybe Film.The Rage Carrie 2), Film.Carrie 2002, or Film.Carrie 2013
• VideoGame.Fire Emblem Archanea / VideoGame.Fire Emblem Akaneia: 165 wicks. Should be either VideoGame.Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon And The Blade Of Light or VideoGame.Fire Emblem Mystery Of The Emblem
• VideoGame.Fire Emblem Jugdral: 95 wicks. Should be either VideoGame.Fire Emblem Genealogy Of The Holy War or VideoGame.Fire Emblem Thracia 776
• VideoGame.Fire Emblem Elibe: 236 wicks. Should be VideoGame.Fire Emblem The Blazing Blade, VideoGame.Fire Emblem The Binding Blade, or Manga.Fire Emblem Champions Sword
• VideoGame.Fire Emblem Tellius: 159 wicks. Should be either VideoGame.Fire Emblem Path Of Radiance or VideoGame.Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn

Wild West is a redirect to The Wild West, if I'm going to make it into a disambig with at least Film.Wild West, then I'd need to dewick its 400 wicks...

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Series/Revenge2011 needs its cleaning. 300+ at plain Revenge.
