All of the Massive Multiplayer Scam wicks have been deleted, changed to The Con, or are on video example pages, sandboxes, or archived pages. Does that make it count as done, ~𝕋𝕒𝕓𝕤?
TRS Wick Cleaning
Oh, yeah. This just leaves The Mark, Real Estate Scam, and Landmark Sale. The Mark has the most wicks (173).
Sounds good on paper (he/him)
I moved Real Estate Scam's on-page examples (except for ZCEs) and turned it into a redirect. Only the wicks are left, and there are only 69.
Edit: I took care of the Main/ wicks, but there were only four, so we're down to 65.
Edit: I changed I Have A Bridge To Sell You to redirect to The Con instead of Landmark Sale.

I got Real Estate Scam down to 49. I had to submit a Locked Pages thread request to change wicks on a Magnificent Bastard subpage since it's locked, at least one wick is on a newsletter archive that will have to stay put since it's an archive page, and one wick is on the TRS Thread Tracker to keep track of which subtropes of The Con still need to be merged with the supertrope.
Edit: Down to 35. Aside from the ones I mentioned not changing before, the only wicks left are on Recap pages.

I took care of the ones you missed on one of the Recap pages.

Landmark Sale's on-page examples are accounted for and it's now a redirect. I haven't touched the wicks yet, but there are 58 of them.
Edit: Main/ wicks done; 46 left.

Dewicked. A dozen or so examples were the "stock phrase" is uttered variety.

All right, that just leaves The Mark. I might get to the on-page examples and turn it into a redirect tomorrow, since I've been feeling better lately.
Edit: I did the above sooner than I thought I would. 178 wicks to take care of

Main/ wicks for The Mark have been cleaned, and I removed it from Needs A Better Description since it no longer has a description. 109 wicks to go.

The Mark is finished and it appears everything else is done, so we're good on this one.
Um, what about the other tropes on the crowner like Short Con?

Short Con was already dewicked, but whoever dewicked it forgot to turn it into a redirect. I'll see if anything else was missed.
Edit: OK, give me a bit and I'll figure out what else was missed.

All right, it looks like what happened here is that when some of the subtropes mentioned in this post were taken care of, whoever did the last bits of work forgot to turn them into redirects. I fixed that and cleaned up some stray wicks by going through the list and seeing which ones were missed, so now we should actually be able to close this thread.
How sweet it is
Good to hear. Closing.

Crown Description:
Several subtropes of The Con have small amounts of wicks, and merging them with their supertrope has been suggested. Which ones should be merged with the supertrope? Vote up to merge with The Con, vote down to keep separate.
Can we have the "done" pages from here
turned into redirects?
