[[caption-width-right:180:Authorized and high-ranking personnel only]]

Is an article being [[WikiVandal desecrated]] repeatedly at an alarming rate? Is it the subject of heavy debate and [[Administrivia/EditWar constant changes]]? In either case, if these become too much of a problem, then you've probably got a page that needs to be locked by an administrator or moderator until such unproductive tendencies are resolved (which, sadly, almost never happens). This can be a depressing sight on any wiki when a page is in need of [[Administrivia/TVTropesGlossary Wiki Magic]] ([[WantonCrueltyToTheCommonComma or attention from]] [[GrammarNazi grammaticians]]) — the best option is to try keeping things productive so administrators have to do this as little as possible.

Moderators ([[Administrivia/KnowTheStaff listed here]]) have locking authority on this wiki, and can also edit them to fix problems. Engineers (listed on the same page) can also edit pages that were locked by moderators, but are not able to lock or unlock pages themselves. To get their attention, post your request on the forum, in the [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=gsjp7dldjh2dwdelcha2hu17 sticky topic about edits and unlocking to locked pages.]]

There used to be an autolocking system which locked all cut pages to prevent people recreating them. Certain pages that the community has decided upon as ''[[DeaderThanDead not coming back in a million years]]'' are put in the Administrivia/PermanentRedLinkClub.

'''Note:''' If you were directed here when you clicked the "edit" button on an article (even though it had a lock icon instead, you crazy dedicated troper, you), it means the article is locked. Look below for the reason. If you don't see the article in question here, or on Administrivia/PermanentRedLinkClub for blank locked articles, ask AskTheTropers or the sticky topic linked above to add it.

----
!At the moment, the following pages are locked:

[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:AATAFOVS]]
* AATAFOVS.AThreeHourTour: Was part of an old project and got locked as "done" when the illustrations came near to completion.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Administrivia]]

Pages in the {{Administrivia}}/ namespace are meant to guide tropers on how to go about editing on the wiki. As such, the pages themselves have no need of examples or definition-tweaking. All pages except for a handful of exceptions (mostly ones related to maintenance instead of policy) must be locked to prevent either from happening.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Analysis]]
* Analysis.AntiHero: Consistent problem with type labels.
* Analysis.SlidingScaleOfAntiHeroes: Lots of misuse.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Archive]]
Administrivia.WikiArchives contains the full list of pages in the Archive namespace. All archive pages are locked and will not be edited for anything. That's why they're archives. As such, do not request edits to these pages; such requests will not be honored.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Awesome]]
* Awesome.PlayerAccomplishments: Attracted TroperTales-like examples; redirected to a more apropos page.
* Awesome.TheSithResurgence: The page is locked because the author encouraged her followers to edit her fanfic pages to her liking.
* Awesome.YouCanPlayThis: Posthumous controversy about its creator, leading to vandalistic edits.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Characters]]
* Characters.FireEmblemThreeHousesEdelgard: Frequent editing disputes due to the character's status as a BaseBreakingCharacter.
* Characters.LilysPokeMadhouse: Getting caught up in Creator/LilyOrchard-related disputes.
* Characters.MandelaCatalogue: To keep out information sourced to leaks.
* Characters.MyHeroAcademiaAllForOne: Apparently people aren't familiar with the rules about example length.
* Characters.RealmOfTheMadGodEnemies: Page has become excessively long, and the work is expecting a major update that will affect sorting. The lock is intended to be temporary to prevent premature rearrangements.
* Characters.{{Sonichu}}: Locked due to persistent troping of the creator's personal life.
* Characters.TheSithResurgence: The page is locked because the author encouraged her followers to edit her fanfic pages to her liking
[[/folder]]

* JustForFun.TelevisionIsTryingToKillUs: Even after being moved to JustForFun, the page kept attracting diatribes and complaining, culminating into politico-social soapboxing.
* JustForFun.TVTropesWillRuinYourLife: People used to add crap that denigrated the wiki when it was in Main/.
* JustForFun.TheArchiveOfBellicoseLexiconEntities: It was a series of articles listing tropers accordingly to their visions on trope naming, images, example lists and the like. Since it was determined that these articles, rather than serving their purpose as fun places for like-minded tropers to associate, were inspiring antagonism and factionalism among our user base, they have been discontinued and all of them now redirect back to that index, which now remains as a means of defining the acronyms only, and is locked to prevent tropers from listing themselves on one of those categories, which they can simply do through their userpages anyway.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Laconic]]
* Laconic.AllYourColorsCombined: Locked to keep the colour markup joke intact (since most of the used color markup was disabled site-wide, '''any''' edit to the page will turn the text black).

* Laconic.BadassIsraeli: Locked to prevent agenda-based editing.
* Laconic.ComedicLolicon: The previous pages "lolicon" and "shotacon" had their examples cut and were locked due to nebulous legality in English-speaking countries and issues with advertisers. The two follow up pages were locked to avoid similar problems, as was Laconic.ComedicLolicon.
* Laconic.ColdWar: Temporarily locked to prevent premature analysis on the Ukraine war.
* Laconic.CompleteMonster: Locked as part of the CompleteMonster cleanup process.
* Laconic.EmptyRoomPsych: Preserving colour (since most of the used color markup was disabled site-wide, '''any''' edit to the page will turn the text black).

[[folder:Literature]]
* Literature.FiftyShadesOfGrey: Restored after cut. Most of the book's notoriety comes from its pornographic content. Locked to prevent creepiness.
* Literature.{{Gor}}: Locked under Administrivia/TheContentPolicy.
* Literature.{{Lolita}}: Restored after cut, keeping locked due to constant apologism.
* Literature.The120DaysOfSodom: Lock and clean under Administrivia/TheContentPolicy. Was locked along with ''Film/VaseDeNoces'' because of content policy violations and some creepy gushing.
* Literature.TheBible: Chronic edit war over Trope definitions and proper page tone and perspective, no doubt due to the subject matter. Was also a flame magnet.
* Literature.TheQuran: Chronic edit war over Trope definitions and proper page tone and perspective, no doubt due to the subject matter. Was also a flame magnet.

[[folder:Main]]
* AccidentalNightmareFuel: At some point the constant arguments about the definition of this trope and of NightmareFuel were enough. Examples lockout due to continuous Administrivia/TropeDecay.
* {{Administrivia}}: List of policies, locked to prevent unilateral changes.
* AliensMadeThemDoIt: A {{Sexual Harassment And Rape Trope|s}} locked to keep it clean as examples drifted into creepiness.
* AllGaysArePedophiles: Preemptive lock to prevent paedophilia apologism.
* AnatomicallyImpossibleSex: Examples lockout.
* AskTheTropers: This page is an auto-redirect; the old markup does not need to be edited.
* BadassGay: The [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13258997110A98996400 Badass tropes cleanup thread]] decided BadassGay wasn't actually a trope, too broad, and being listed in any work that had a gay badass character despite the old description specifically requiring it to be addressed in the work itself. It was turned into a disambiguation to keep the inbounds, and was locked after multiple unilateral attempts to revert the page to its former trope state.
* BadassIsraeli: Locked to prevent agenda-based editing.
* BadWritingIndex: The previous name for the WritingPitfallIndex. Locked after it was turned into a redirect for the new name to prevent its restoration, along with the new name being locked and any potential new tropes having to be vetted.
* {{Bara}}: Enforcing a reduction in anime jargon.
* BaseBreaker: People keep trying to reverse the Example Sectionectomy.
* BaseBreakingCharacter: Carrying over the lock on the original name, BaseBreaker. Examples were locked out at BaseBreaker after repeated restoration of the examples.
* {{Bishoujo}}: Enforcing a reduction of anime jargon.
* BlackBraAndPanties: Page was restored after being cut for advertiser complaints. Safety feature to prevent any trouble.
* Eye colours: To keep people from trying to stealth add more not tropes that just point out a character's eye colour and otherwise do nothing.
** BlackEyes
** BlueEyes
** BrownEyes
* CircularRedirect: The page redirects to itself as a joke, and has been locked to prevent people from breaking the redirect, since the fact that the software no longer allows making circular redirects means remaking it wouldn't be possible.
* ComedicLolicon: The previous pages "lolicon" and "shotacon" had their examples cut and were locked due to nebulous legality in English-speaking countries and issues with advertisers. The two follow up pages were locked to avoid similar problems, as was Laconic.ComedicLolicon.
* CompleteMonster: Keeps getting edited to play with the definition even though we agreed to leave it alone and put examples in the subpages.
* ConfirmedYKTS: Archive. No reason to edit it.
* ContributorAnnouncements: Was formerly a page where tropers made announcements. Now we use the [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/topics.php fora]] for this purpose.
* CreatorBashing: Was initially created to support complaining against creators, then changed by the admins to be against it. It was changed into a redirect for Administrivia/ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike, as it was considered redundant to the latter.
* CreatorsPet: The main article is for definition only, and is locked to prevent changes to it. Add examples in the subpages; any change to the definition must be discussed in the [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1341554362019735300 forum thread]].
* CultClassic: Given an Administrivia/ExampleSectionectomy; locked to enforce it.
* {{Dandere}}: Keeps attracting examples despite the posted examples lockout. The page defines the {{Fanspeak}} term. For the broader trope and examples from media, see ShrinkingViolet and SugarAndIcePersonality.
* {{Dominatrix}}: Examples lockout after issues with advertisers.
* DoubleStandard: Attracted excessive amounts of complaining about the topic as well as heated debates and soapboxing over feminism.
* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: FlameBait induced from being a Rape-related trope.
* EditWar: To prevent any self-demonstration.
* EmoTeen: The definition is broad and subjective, and the term "{{Emo}}" itself is heavily stigmatized. Examples also attracted character bashing and natter.
* {{Ephebophile}}: Examples lockout.
* {{Euroshlock}}: The topic is controversial. Was autolocked when cut; reinstating the lock as it was never lifted
* Evil Overlord List and subpages: The original edition is final due to it being from [[http://www.eviloverlord.com/lists/overlord.html another website]]. Our [[JustForFun/TVTropesAdditionalEvilOverlordVows extensions]] are open.
** EvilOverlordList
** EvilOverlordListCellblockA
** EvilOverlordListCellblockB
* FalseRapeAccusation: FlameBait. The [[TropeLaunchPad TLP]] for this this trope attracted heated debate, so this page was launched with a lock on it. The very touchy nature of this trope would just attract {{flame war}}s.
* FamilyFriendly: No reason for anybody to edit this, it's a hardcoded redirect anyway.
* {{FAQ}}: Effectively an Administrivia page. Locked to prevent unilateral changes.
* {{Fetish}}: Examples lockout after issues with advertisers, also the title is a problem.
* FetishFuel: The original lock was because of confusion about which is the index, but was later maintained to uphold an examples lockout. The examples often got out of FamilyFriendly territory way too easily. Previous examples were moved into [[http://fetishfuel.wikia.com an off-site wiki.]]
* FetishFuelFuture: Emergency Administrivia/ExampleSectionectomy after issues with advertisers and to remove prurient content.
* FiveManBand: Was locked due to rampant misuse.
* FlameBait: Page assigns the Flame Bait banner, which needs to be restricted to prevent abuse.
* {{Geek}}: Attracts bloat and definition drift.
* GirlLove: To enforce a reduction in anime jargon.
* GirlsLove: To enforce a reduction in anime jargon.
* {{Gorn}}: Enforcing no examples as they were creepy.
* GratuitousRape: FlameBait induced from being a Rape-related trope.
* {{Griefer}}: Real life examples lockout to prevent it from becoming a SelfDemonstratingArticle.
* {{Hachimaki}}: Presumably to enforce the name change to MartialArtsHeadband.
* HadakaApron: Presumably to enforce the name change to NakedApron.
* HaikuWiki: Now autoindexing.
* HazelEyes: Part of the eye cleanup.
* HelloBoys: SexSells clone, awful title.
* {{Hentai}}: Examples and index lockout as part of the site's Administrivia/{{No Lewdness|NoPrudishness}} policy.
* HeroicSociopath: Attracted massive Administrivia/TropeDecay. The disambiguation was kept to take the inbounds, but the title was redlinked to discourage any more wicking.
* {{Het}}: Original version had a digression about fandoms and opinions about the trope that left little for the actual description. Locked to keep its readable state and also to preserve the funny aspects, which people kept removing.
* HighOctaneNightmareFuel: The trope invited constant arguments about its definition, until someday in 2012 enough was enough.
* HollywoodTactics: Locked due to persisting Administrivia/{{Natter}} problems despite there being a huge warning against it.
* HomePage: The home page used to attract vandalism; now it's only meant to contain a forced redirect.
* HotDad: People are consistently unable to understand that this must be InUniverse only. It was eventually made a disambiguation page.
* HotMom: People are consistently unable to understand that this must be InUniverse only. It was eventually made a disambiguation page.
* IAmNotMakingThisUpDiscussion: Archive. No reason to edit it.
* IdiotPlot[[invoked]]: Was turned into a FlameBait Administrivia/{{Definition Only Page|s}} due to being used for complaining. Locked to enforce the definition and Administrivia/ExampleSectionectomy.
* IfYouKnowWhatIMean: The old name for LampshadedDoubleEntendre. Was made a deliberate redlink due to tropers potholing their own double entendres to the page.
* ImageLinksWiki: Autoindexing now.
* IncrediblyLamePun: Page is a redirect for a reason; if it were disambiguated lots of people would waste time cleaning the wicks when there never was consensus to do so.
* IndexIndex: No reason for anybody to edit this page as it's an automated redirect.
* InternetBackdraft[[invoked]]: Was turned into a FlameBait Administrivia/{{Definition Only Page|s}} due to being used for complaining. Locked to enforce the definition and Administrivia/ExampleSectionectomy.
* InternetCounterattack: Edit warring over the Zoe Quinn debacle.
* InternetToughGuy: Examples were locked out when this was still an independent trope because most of the old examples were used to complain about people on the internet by latching onto any slightly mean thing they said.
* ItGetsWorse: Was locked to preserve faux-redlink.
* ItGotWorse: Was locked to preserve faux-redlink.
* ItJustBugsMe: Locked during the rename to {{Headscratchers}}, recreated just to explain the history of the term.
* ItWasHisSled: Examples lockout to prevent accidental spoilerage when people add spoilers that don't qualify for the trope.
* KnownTroper: Effectively an Administrivia page. Locked to prevent unilateral changes.
* {{Kuudere}}: Examples lockout and to enforce a reduction in the use of {{Anime}} jargon. The page defines the {{Fanspeak}} term. For the broader trope and examples from media, see SugarAndIcePersonality.
* LaconicWiki: The indexes were too big to be on a editable wiki page and not crash the server, but locking the page would not let the index update. Instead, there is a link to a non wiki page that lists every page with the corresponding namespace.
* {{Lolicon}}: The previous pages "lolicon" and "shotacon" had their examples cut and were locked due to nebulous legality in English-speaking countries and issues with advertisers.
* LoliconAndShotacon: The previous pages "lolicon" and "shotacon" had their examples cut and were locked due to nebulous legality in English-speaking countries and issues with advertisers. The two follow up pages were locked to avoid similar problems, as was Laconic.ComedicLolicon.
* {{Lolita}}: Page was autolocked when cut, lock was kept after restoration; reinstating.
* MagnificentBastard: Requested by tropers cleaning up the trope.
* MarySue: Edit wars over attempts to rewrite the incredibly complicated definition.
* MemeticSexGod: No longer considered to be tropable. The discussion attracted significant controversy, thus the page was locked to prevent arbitrary attempts at reversing the outcome.
* NaughtyTentacles: Locked after a first cut in 2012, still locked to prevent any restoration of creepy content.
* {{Netorare}}: To enforce a reduction in anime jargon.
* NoJustNo: Originally created for a character's reaction to a {{Squick}}y moment, it got misused as a pothole for editors inserting their own reaction to what was in the example. InUniverse examples were moved to NoJustNoReaction. While redlinked, this is still used as a redirect to the new article to keep appropriate links and remove unnecessary wicks.
* NotIfTheyEnjoyedItRationalization: One of the SexualHarassmentAndRapeTropes locked to keep it clean.
* OrwellianEditor: Before the redirecting, the examples ignored the definition; bile and {{Take That}}s aimed at any moderation at all.
* PaedoHunt: Description turned into an essay about paedophilia, which drew unwanted real-life examples and threatened to turn it into the same anti-persecution tract that forced us to change its name from AllPedophilesAreChildMolesters.
* PantyShot: Examples lockout due to creepy content.
* {{Parabombing}}: Before it was redirected, the temptation was great to make it a SelfDemonstratingArticle, spoiling the purpose of the page.
* PinkBishoujoGhetto: Locked pending rework as it was unduly anime specific. Was later renamed but the redirect is still locked.
* PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad: A disambiguation page that attracted drama and edit warring before it was split, and was kept locked as a precaution.
** PoliticalCorrectness, PoliticalCorrectnessRunAmuck, and PoliticallyCorrect: Redirects to the PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad disambiguation page; locked as a precaution.
* PoliticalCorrectnessIsEvil: Split from PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad's Administrivia/TropeRepairShop thread. Locked to prevent the drama and edit warring seen with the original page.
** PoliticalCorrectnessIsBad: A redirect to PoliticalCorrectnessIsEvil; locked as a precaution.
* PoliticalOvercorrectness: Split from PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad's Administrivia/TropeRepairShop thread. Locked to prevent the drama and edit warring seen with the original page.
** PoliticalCorrectnessGag and PoliticalHypercorrection: Redirects to PoliticalOvercorrectness; locked as a precaution.
* PotHole: Didn't work as a SelfDemonstratingArticle, but kept getting edited to be one.
* ProgramEntryTemplate: Instruction page that is locked for the same reason as pages in the Administrivia namespace.
* ProtectionFromEditors: Attracts drama and edit warring.
* {{Ptitle}}: Some kind of artifact of the old system that keeps directing page creation to this article.
* QueryBugs: No reason for anybody to edit this as it's a hardcoded redirect.
* QueryWishlist: No reason for anybody to edit this as it's a hardcoded redirect.
* QuotesWiki: The indexes were too big to be on a editable wiki page and not crash the server, but locking the page would not let the index update. Instead, there is a link to a non wiki page that lists every page with the corresponding namespace.
* RapeAsDrama: Vandal target. As a rape trope, locking was an obvious solution.
* RapeDiscretionShot: As part of the rape trope cleanup.
* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: One of the SexualHarassmentAndRapeTropes locked to keep it clean.
* RealLife: Usual problem with people running the joke way into the ground.
* {{Recursion}}: People keep editing this to turn it into a circular redirect or remove the description. Enough is enough.
* SearchWiki: Formerly a link to an inbuilt search function.
* {{Sekaikei}}: To enforce a reduction in anime jargon.
* SexSlave: Precautionary lock to prevent the infiltration of controversial material.
* ShockSite: Examples lockout. We don't need such things posted here.
* {{Shojo}}: To enforce a reduction in anime jargon.
* {{Shonen}}: To enforce a reduction in anime jargon.
* {{Shotacon}}: As per {{Lolicon}}.
* {{Sideboob}}: Was restored after examples cut.
* SnarkBait[[invoked]]: Facilitated too much complaining, and was turned into a FlameBait Administrivia/{{Definition Only Page|s}}.
* SnuffFilm: To enforce the examples lockout. Nowadays only fictional examples are allowed.
* SorryILeftTheBGMOn: To enforce a name change.
* {{Spikeification}}: To enforce a name change, on pain of banning.
* {{Squick}}: Examples brought constant natter and Administrivia/ThisTroper, plus we really don't need a page of gross stuff. Also, having examples here is somewhat pointless, considering we have DisgustTropes, and a character's reaction will often be similar to the audience's reaction.
* StopHavingFunGuys: Examples lockout due to arguments over content and trope definition.
* TechFu: Formerly described GadgeteerGenius and MadScientist. The page is still there to define it as fan speak.
* TheArtOfBraRemoval: Page was restored after being cut for advertiser complaints. Safety feature to prevent any trouble.
* TheContributors: Page is supposed to be a hardcoded redirect.
* TheFundamentalist: Refusal to allow atheists to be included as fundamentalist, discussion over including fanaticism. Repeatedly reverted moderator and admin edits.
* TheNewTwenties: Premature judgments on the entire decade from just one year did not stop, leading to this page being locked and the decade's UsefulNotes page being both cut and locked until significantly more of the decade has passed.
* TheSociopath: People go waaaay out of bounds with the description length.
* TheWikiRule: Locked with examples removed because the page attracted Administrivia/{{Zero Context Example}}s.
* TheWorldsBreastTropes: An index categorizing various breast tropes. Originally located at KeepAbreastOfThisIndex, it was cut during the initial Archive/FiveP purge, but was much later recreated here. It's still locked to stop any potential trouble with the content policy.
* ThisTroper: Attempts to make it self-demonstrating that undermine the point behind the article, as well as attempts to rewrite the definition out of a misguided belief that saying it's okay on that page will suddenly change the prevailing attitude. Its use in the first-person is not wanted.
* TropeEntryTemplate: Instruction page locked for the same reason as Administrivia pages.
* TropeFinder: No reason for anybody to edit this page as it's a hardcoded redirect.
* TropeLaunchPad: No reason for anybody to edit this page as it's a hardcoded redirect.
* TroperDemographics: Contained too many characters and started crashing the server; besides, the table was inaccurate from selection bias anyway. The list was replaced with simply a demographic picture from Google Analytics.
* TroperTales: Finalizing the current information on the page.
* {{Tropes}}: Attracted vandalism.
* TropesAreTools: Redirect to locked Administrivia page. Locked to prevent unilateral changes.
* TropeTalk: Redirect. Effectively an Administrivia page. Locked to prevent unilateral changes.
* TVTropes: To enforce a redirect to HomePage.
* {{Underboobs}}: Restoration after cut for having overly creepy content.
* UnitedWeChant: Enforcing non-dialog titles.
* UnpleasableFanbase: Examples lockout as it attracted complaining. The page was getting way too big with both examples and constant natter.
* WhatMeasureIsANonUnique: Presumably to enforce the name change to UniquenessValue.
* WhyAmIBanned: No reason for anyone to edit this.
* WikiTalk: Redirect. Effectively an Administrivia page. Locked to prevent unilateral changes.
* WikiVandal: [[TemptingFate Obvious vandalism magnet.]]
* WildMassGuessing: People keep crufting it up with unnecessary junk.
* WriterBashing: Policy page that was changed into a redirect for Administrivia/ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike, as it was considered redundant to the latter.
* WritingPitfallIndex: An index about tropes generally associated with poor writing. Originally located at BadWritingIndex, it eventually became an index for [[Administrivia/ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike Complaining About Tropes You Don't Like]], even though the index itself said that the tropes listed [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools aren't inherently negative or always the result of bad writing.]] As such, the index was renamed to WritingPitfallIndex, the old name was turned into a redirect for the new name, and both were locked, with any potential new tropes to be vetted.
* XanatosRoulette: Enforcing name change.
* YesButWhatDoesZataproximetacineDo: Presumably to enforce the name change to SideEffectsInclude, although that page was also locked in the past due to "Edit warring about over-long gag".
* {{Yiff}}: Locked under Administrivia/TheContentPolicy.
* {{YKTTW}}: No need for anyone to edit this, as it's supposed to be a hardcoded redirect.
* {{YMMV}}: The former index of YMMV tropes. The index was eventually moved to YMMV.HomePage, with the former location being locked and turned into a disambig for the new index location and LoveItOrHateIt, which used to be named YourMileageMayVary.
* YouKnowThatShow: No need for anyone to edit this, as it's supposed to be a hardcoded redirect.
* YouKnowThatThingWhere: No need for anyone to edit this, as it's supposed to be a hardcoded redirect.
