Discussion Administrivia / WickNamespaceMigration

No, Mary Sue isn't really appropriate for this task as this is about namespace moves.

So, the entry on Thigh High Boots and few other disambigs, should be moved somewhere else?

Leave them in Complex. Even though they redirect to the same thing currently, there is a potential for splitting the work page in the future. When such a split occurs, having the wicks already differentiated is extremely helpful.

Sure

Wait a second... Most of what we're doing isn't moving things... Why is that even on here? ... Can I remove it, since we already wick to How to Move a Page?

...

Where do I go to discuss cut requests that have been rejected?

It's on there because it's relevant to the original reason the page existed. It doesn't hurt to have it there, either.

You can ask on ATT, or check the discussion page. Sometimes the mods post a reason there.

Removed it from here and added it to CompletedMigrations.Video Games. Edit requests on locked pages can be filed here, though.

And it's been removed from here. Congrats!

Because of this one Nate Spidgewood. We're trying to see what we can do about this, since he's led to many a locking on this very wiki.

As mentioned on top of the page, there is the Edit Requests for Locked Pages thread for asking about any new change. It takes a bit longer, but the mods in charge will do it.

There are lots of namespaces... it would be much work with little pay-off (since the final aim is, after all, to empty this page). Not to mention it would make it not-so-easy to locate a work quickly in the list. Not thrilled by the idea, in short.

I've suggested a Gamebook/ namespace, but it didn't stick. For now, they go in Literature/.

The folder got too long. I've split it into more, smaller folders; it's fine now.

Thanks; yesterday I was too tired to fix it.

That sounds like a good idea. I find it nice to know what can be done robotically when I'm tired, and what requires examining context and thinking and such.

Thanks. I'll do it after I'll have finished two more items, unless someone has a good reason to object.

Maybe we could sort the quickie ones somehow too, instead of just bolding them.

That sounds complicated - so we need four groups?

More like three. I'd think the complicated ones will likely be a small enough group that breaking it down further would be getting too pedantic.

I guess — the groups could be Short/Brief/Quick, Longer/Big, and Wick Sorting Needed. Just separating into two groups would also be good.

I'd like to know that too. The article seems to imply it's as easy to do as with reviews, but I can't find any way to do it. Does it require to notify the mods, like with discussion pages?

Might not be the worst of ideas, but bringing it up in the forum thread for migration would probably get more of a response. Not everyone bothers with discussion pages.

So I've realized. Thanks for bringing it up!

Is it proper to move them back on the incomplete one if they are, and is it worth noting that they were completed? Doctor Who, for a start definitely looks like it needs a clearup (~500 wicks listed, a brief check and most need changing)

I'm considering leaving notes on when things were moved into "Completed", so people can check how long since things got checked for clearup. I'm also thinking of marking completed Trope Overdosed pages with bold, as they're the ones likely acquire wicks quickly. Does this sound like a good idea?

I'd say it's fine. Keep at it.

Keep it, it means that if people can find a main/ reference that gets added later, they'll know to move it.

Thank you, I'll stick with it.
