So this is a place for people who are interested in helping out, or getting help with, wick checks. Maybe you just want people to double-check your work before you submit it to the TRS, or maybe you have a big project in mind and can't tackle it on your own. Either way, you've come to the right place!
Remember to check out How to Do a Wick Check for a run down, and feel free to browse Tropes Needing TRS if you need ideas for what trope to do a wick-check for.
For the list of current and completed projects, see Wick Check Project. Once your wick check is done and ready to go to a TRS thread, see the TRS Queue.

I can go over the numbers in a minute, though I don't think being slightly off is the end of the world.
As for the second question, yes. It's much easier if you use numbers (hashtag instead of asterisk) so that you can easily add up each folder. I've begun to do that and it's so much less stressful. Look at my No So Phony Wick Check for an example. (apparently I spelled it wrong derp lol)

Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessI changed the bullets into numbers. It's helped quite a bit.
I'm lovin' it. (My Troper Wall)Ditto!

Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessI completed my first wick check, Improbable Wick Check, to try and show that Improbable Cover is basically the same as Concealment Equals Cover. Did I do it right? Is there anything I should add? I left out some of the wicks like the one in I Thought It Meant since I didn't know what to do with them, but if they need to be put back in then I can do that.
Witty witticisms are witty.Since there are only 35 wicks, you could include them all and populate the unsorted folder.
Found this, uh, apparently abandoned Wick Check sandbox. For Pyramid Power (last update over a year ago)
Should we do a wick check for Parody Assistance if I feel it should be Trivia? The trope is about a creator of the original assisting a parody or fanwork.
she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportI want to do a wick check for Logging onto the Fourth Wall since I was editing one thing on it and noticed a bunch of misuse on the main page.
Logging Onto The Fourth Wall Wick Check
The best character is always the one-shot disguise.The wick check for Logging onto the Fourth Wall is done. Lots of misuse, placing it on TRS queue for a cleanup.
The best character is always the one-shot disguise.Doing another wick check because I fear there is some kind of misuse for Meme Acknowledgment.
Meme Acknowledgment Wick Check
The best character is always the one-shot disguise.Other one looked good.

I have a tendency to miscount wicks in my wick checks, especially when they're big wick checks such as the one I made for She Is All Grown Up. For example, it's possible I might have counted all 60 wicks in that check, when there are really only around 57-59.
1) Did I count all the wicks in that check correctly?
2) Is there any method you guys can think of for me to have an easier time counting the wicks, so that I don't miscount wicks in any future checks?
I'm lovin' it. (My Troper Wall)
