Pages that Need Crosswicking

Go To

This thread is for people asking for assistance with crosswicking of pages that have far less wicks than on-page examples or references to other pages.

For a list of pages that need crosswicking see Pages Needing an Entry Pimp.

Well, it's renamed to Our Nymphs Are Different, so better do that rename at the same time as the commenting out.

Highly likely the name won't change...

Religious Redub needs crosswicking. I notified ~Boss Ham Ham, but was ignored.

That's because I forgot to reply.

I'll take that as a no :/ Way to read the notifier and then completely ignore the point of it. I don't care if you were or weren't planning to respond to me, ~Boss Ham Ham. I care if you actually do your job correctly and crosswick the trope you launched that currently has a whopping two wicks.

As TLP Guidelines states:

"Every example listed on the trope page should also be listed on the corresponding work page, if we have one. Character tropes should go on Character Pages if possible, and the same is true for episode-specific tropes and Recap Pages. If there are tropes related to the one you launched, add "See also" sections to both tropes. The more pages linked up, the better the Wiki Magic flows."

This is something you have to do. You didn't do it on Religious Redub, and you didn't crosswick The Character Ice Cream Bar; Pichu-Kun had to.

I finished crosswicking Overturned Outhouse. Sorry that it took so long to get out of the way. I'll start doing my other pages, too.

Yet another troper has been editing but has not bothered to do any crosswicking beyond the absolute bare minimum, and has ignored by PM about the situation. ~maxwellsilver, your trope In-Universe Factoid Failure currently only has one wick to an index page. That's awful. Please crosswick.

How about Soundtrack Cover Character Jam?

12 wicks, 8/12 are to Awesome Music pages, and the rest are indexes.

The page source shows 37 entries or so.

So, I'm crosswicking for Absurdly Divided School, but I'd like someone else to crosswick the Veronica Mars example, because I'm just getting into the show, and don't want to be spoiled on anything.

Excellent Judge of Character still needs crosswicking. I PM'd the sponsor, but they edit so sporadically that nothing has been done.

I went ahead and crosswicked most of it. I didn't know what to do with the Tales From The Spirit Lands as that webcomic page is split up in several parts and I'm unfamiliar with it.

I try to help cross-wick where I can, but I confess, my focus isn't the best. I hardly ever finish cross-wicking the pages that I start to cross-wick. When I do set out to cross-wick, I have better luck extending my focus past my usual five minutes by Wiki Walking instead of making a dozen wicks all pointing back to the same page. As a result, a small percentage of scattered pages on Pages Needing Wicks have one or two wicks each that I've added, but I can't remember the last time I gave enough wicks to a page to remove it from that list. I know it's bad form to leave tropes that I've launched (like Stock Medieval Meal or Reflexive Remark of Reverence) with hardly any cross-wicks for days, weeks, months on end after I launch them, and I'm trying, but... well... I'm sorry. My best isn't good enough.

If not for this anchor I'd be dancing between the stars. At least I can try to write better vampire stories than Twilight.

Admittedly, Crosswicking is incredibly tedious. There are some work pages I've made that I've not crosswicked yet.

The big concern of mine is more just that tropes without wicks are going to wither and die with no attention. More wicks increases the odds of Wiki Magic, so you should at least try and crosswick as much as possible. Even if you can only get it to 15 wicks, that's better than nothing, and if you post here people will be willing to help. Just don't leave it totally uncrosswicked, or else it won't survive.

I do it slowly, but steadily. I just try for getting the wicks counter to the next multiple of 5.

As War Jay said, feel free to post here.

I'll see if I have enough energy to crosswick when I get home in a few hours. I'm currently dealing with some stuff that has left me preferring the tedious tasks.

At the beginning of the year, I had some inspiration and motivation to do something utterly ridiculous and try to crosswick for the small workpages I clean up, just for the sake of having more things crosswicked- and while it'd be a nice thing to do, it's so tedious that I haven't done it yet. I need to prioritize my own work pages first.

If anyone wants to help, the big one I still need to crosswick is Electronic Game Information.

I think I've gotten every example on Testes Test to have a corresponding cross-wick. Is twenty wicks (not counting the link to "needs cross-wicking") enough to remove it from the "needs cross-wicking" page?

Pages like "Five Things" Fic, Coffee Shop AU Fic, and Hanahaki Disease are getting a lot of inbounds but aren't wicked much. People just don't make pages for works involving them.

Changed has a large amount of inbounds but a pathetically low wick count (none of which are even tropes).
