Unless it has a lot of inbounds, the Franchise/ page should be moved to the Video Game/ page and then cut.

And if it does have a lot of inbounds, the Franchise/ page should still be moved, but should be kept as a redirect.

I thought in cases of an improper namespace still having the same name, it gets cut anyway since inbounds are still caught by the auto-disambig?

Yeah, there's no point in keeping a wrong-name disambig around, inbounds or not.

Is there a quick way to fix the namespace for the inbounds without doing each one manually?

The inbounds or the wicks? There's no way to do the inbounds, and the wicks require manually editing every page it's on.

Swap the redirects and we can gradually go through it. TRS manages multi-thousand wick entries.

Then we can cut the Franchise/ page.

... also yeah. It's gonna suck. Just thankful this isn't one of those works where the series has the same name as the first game. That's way more complicated.

Go ahead and add it to the cutlist.

CompletedMigrations.Franchises is... weird? Since a lot of those franchises shouldn't be franchises. It's like a page celebrating "yay! We completed the arduous gradual process of fucking up!"
