As part of the namespace migration for Wing Commander to Videogame.Wing Commander, I've ran into several wicks that, for one reason or another, show as having reference to "Main.Wing Commander", but don't actually show it anywhere.

Related Search for Main/WingCommander

Aside from the Ambiguity Index link (which was intentionally left pointing at Main/WC due to AI's purpose), all of them seem to be victim of something getting wedged in the server after a namespace migration, even though the new spots don't reference Main.Wing Commander at all (pointed instead to Videogame.Wing Commander as they should be).

I vaguely recall seeing mention of something like this before, but couldn't drag up any specifics, or figure out the right search terms to search for the threads. Is this a known issue, and if so is there any future plans ("future" being, preferably, before the sun swells up to the red supergiant stage and melts the Earth tongue ) to address it?

I've run into the same problem. It seems to be caused when pages are moved automatically rather than manually.

Messed up "Related To" links:

  • Troper pages that were moved from Main/ to Tropers/
  • Anything from the namespaces: TroperWorks/, CrowningMoment/, FetishFuel/, JustBugsMe/
  • New: Troper Tales pages (which were just archived)

Known issue, admins have been bugged about it, locking.
