To be honest, I still think we could have done what we did for Damsel in Distress and Distressed Damsel and leave the wicks alone as mentioned earlier.

I seriously thought that was the plan all along and would be fine with that [lol]

Yeah, not every redirect needs to be wiped clean.

I'm not sure why the TRS Wick Cleaning says to go through the trouble of sorting examples across subtropes instead of just swapping the name.

Either way, if the change from Distressed Damsel to Damsel in Distress didn't require cleanup, I agree with the other two mods here that this can be closed, but I'm not going to close it immediately (but if any other mod reading this is less hesitant in closing this, I'd be fine with that too).

[up] - I guess the reason for the sort it's because the subtropes exist and they're likely more accurate.

While Damsel in Distress does have Subtropes, there's an assumption that Damsel in Distress is the most specific example?

I think it was just because on the last page of the thread people agreed to wick clean because that’s standard procedure for renames/transplants. I don’t think Septimus Heap’s suggestion to leave the wicks alone got much attention.

But since we aren’t cleaning for misuse, I don’t think wick cleaning is super necessary. If someone finds a Mind Control, they are free to change it to one of the subtropes. I think we can let it stay on Administrivia.TRS Wick Cleaning if people still want to work. But I don’t we need the wick to be sorted out completely in order to close the thread.

I can close this thread if there aren't any objections. However, I am not in a rush to do so.

I'm good to close and just add to the wick cleaning page.

As it’s been a few hours and there haven’t been any objections since I am going to go ahead and morgue this.

Crown Description:

Mind Manipulation is currently and index, but it's often misused as a trope. In addition, its redirect, Mind Control, has significantly more wicks than the main name. What should be done with the page?

Options are not mutually exclusive.
