How sweet it is
Found a wick when wiki walking, and handled. Was a rare case of a swerve that is not complaining, but too important to leave out.
Replaced it with Shocking Moments due to its nature.

Should the image from Shocking Swerve be moved to Ass Pull?

That question would be better suited to Image Pickin.
Blamed for Being Railroaded might be a better place for it.

I agree.

There's no IP-related comment on Blamed for Being Railroaded, so adding it there is a free option.
No objections here on the proposed image move to BFBR.
In wick news, the B namespaces are done. 1183 (minus archives) to go
.

Bumping. Given the lack of activity over the past near-two weeks, might it be time to close the thread?

We close when the work is done.

Down to 993!
Before I clear it, I want to make sure; we can remove wicks from DMOS entries, right? Are they too subjective to be messed with, or is things like wick-swapping still okay?
Edit: Now it's down to 939, and I must go to sleep.

Wick swapping is still OK on Dethroning Moment of Suck pages.

I'll see if I can help finish this up.
In the meantime, I got creative with a couple of the wicks on JustForFun.Trope Name in order to preserve the intended jokes.
Speaking of JFF, how are we doing JustForFun.Lousy Alternate Titles?

I'd just remove the Lousy Alternate Titles entry, though maybe it could be moved to Twist Ending or Ass Pull.

Got a question about how to rewrite this example from Literature.Wild Tales 1967. Thinking of moving parts of the example to Lifesaving Misfortune, since there are a couple examples of such in this mess. (Edit: Okay, scratch that. The pile-up is covered already in LM. Still need to figure out what to do with this mess.)
- Shocking Swerve: In-Universe Milyu from Tangled World regards his life as a series f those:
- First he was stepped on by a bear as a kid, leaving him with a clubfoot and undesirable.
- But in 1912, he's the only man in the village who wasn't drafted into the Balkan War. All others die of cholera and Milyu was suddenly the only eligible bachelor, so he marries the daughter of the wealthiest man in the village.
- His new father-in-law just uses him as a shepherd for free and sends him with the sheep to the Aegean. This earns Milyu enemies from other villages who send him a Psycho for Hire...
- He defeats the mecenary and after the winter goes back home, only to be ambushed by the rival shepherds and beaten to near death...
- ... which has saved him from another ambush further down, by the mercenary and his men, which would have been certain death by getting impaled and roasted alive.
- After he returns, his father-in-law has a fight with him and has him sent to the WWI front. The clubfoot doesn't help this time since the commander says it's no excuse from trench warfare.
- Milyu decides to have petty revenge against his father-in-law for mistreating him and wrecks his beehives, which lands him in jail...
- ... and once again, he's the only man from the village to have survived the war.
- After the war, he engages into a Get-Rich-Quick Scheme peddling sheep (buying them dirt cheap and selling for several times more) with the help of a Greek smuggler and it goes well...
- ... until he pours all his money into a new purchase to double his profits, whereas the Greek just makes off with the money. On top of that, he turns out to be a spy, which gives Milyu some trouble.
- Then his son marries some girl and wants to set her up with a job, but she cheats with her boss, so the son gets drunk and sets his father and grandfather's house on fire...
- Only for Milyu to find his father-in-law's money hoard in the ashes and enjoy some comfort in his late years.

We still have about 600 to go!
Crown Description:
Shocking Swerve is heavily misused. What should be done with it?
Er, guys, we've already chosen to redirect it. At this point, discussing a new definition won't do much.
Anyway, A/ namespace wicks done, save for the Archive/. 1299 left.
