Based on the available information, there are some examples that fit Troll better than The Prankster. Should they be moved there instead?
Sounds good on paper (he/him)

If examples fit a different trope better, then changing the wicks to that trope instead of The Prankster sounds like a good idea.
How sweet it is
Yeah, that's what I also do sometimes, on TRS cleanups in general.

Is anyone doing the de-wicking?
How sweet it is
I'll try to work on it this week.

Question: what do we replace Screwy Squirrel with when it explicitly refers to the cartoon archetype? The Prankster, Troll, Cloudcuckoolander and Reality Warper only cover certain aspects of the archetype (the mischief, the malice, the craziness and the omnipotence), but not all of it.

Big Catch, Sparkle Edition
Worst case scenario, those wicks get outright deleted for lack of a trope.
One example said "this is a homage to classic Screwy Squirrel cartoons" - referring to the genre, not Screwy Squirrel. How can these be handled? Zany Cartoon is a bit more generic, does not cover the "one character keeps pranking another" aspect of the genre.
Replace with "screwball"? Or say Screwy Squirrel-esque cartoons.
How sweet it is
I swore to do some wick cleaning, but offsite stuff distracted me. Having a work schedule does not help matters.
I'll see how much I can do next week. We have 376 to go, so I'll need all the help I can get.

We're at 316 Wicks now.

Did a few more wicks and brought us down to below 300!

249 wicks
Thanks to the clean-up, WesternAnimation.Screwy Squirrel has 50 wicks now, despite being only a redirect to Tex Avery MGM Cartoons.

And we're down at 200.
Got them down to under 100
; just Characters and Western Animation to clean out now.
Under 50.
And we're DONE, asides from one mod-locked page.
(she/her)
Cutlisted the page and sent a request in the Locked pages thread to get rid of the last wick on Lost and Found.
Macron's notes
[Claps] Well done, good job, everyone!
I guess now it's time to go through the examples on the page and subpages, and move them to Troll, The Prankster, The Gadfly or Cloudcuckoolander if they fit better there and are not ZCE, and then cut the page.

What should be done with Screwy Squirrel?
Doesn't help that I was shifting around to deal with other TRS efforts.
I'll see what I can do.
