As noted in this thread, a lot of the wicks for the game Leisure Suit Larry confuse it for the trope recently renamed Casanova Wannabe. So I'm asking for help here in rooting out the bad wicks and fixing them.

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.

That was the first thing I did after I moved the page. I used the "Related" button and went through — I'm not kidding — every single line. I spent the entire night doing it. The wicks that point to Leisure Suit Larry are all about the game. At least, they are now.

Well then nevermind then. The other thread should have at least stayed unlocked for you to let us know.

This has all been taken care of all ready. This thread is superfluous. We don't need a project to deal with things that are all ready done.

I did mention it there already. here.

I believe I've caught all (or at least most) of the Misuse of Leisure Suit Larry to mean The Leisure Suit Larry as opposed to the game ( I went down line by line). (Incidentally this cut the usage by half.)

I reviewed the remaining links and found just a few more. They are indeed all done. Thanks again for the marathon effort.

Like DQZ says, the main problem here is that the TRS thread got locked a little prematurely. I know its nice to have closure but a bit of a cool-down after a rename to catch trailing issues is a good idea.

EDIT: And I didn't get to make my joke, which is we could have called this one The Wrong Juan.

Sorry for the premature lock. There was a Holler that it was done. It appeared to be done, since there were several posts stating that wick cleanup was progressing, and this post by Camacan:

"And now we're down to zero. Good stuff!

The remaining wicks are false positives and one locked page Double Standard — but that's a matter for the locked pages thread. That's in hand. "

It seemed done.
