This thread is for requesting edits or unlocks to Locked Pages or for requesting locks. It can also be used for technical requests to moderators such as:
- creating new pages in the Main/ and other restricted namespaces without going through Trope Launch Pad
- moving discussion pages
- moving reviews
Please keep the following guidelines in mind:
- Check Locked Pages and Permanent Red Link Club first. They can provide guidance on what are good and bad requests.
- Include working links in your request to the page(s) in question.
- If asking for edits, state your changes exactly as they should appear on the page, including proper Example Indentation, namespacing, and pothole and quote formatting. And make sure that what you want to add is actually a valid example.
- We do not edit archived articles, even to correct links.
- If you need to have the capitalization of a page title or namespace of a work fixed, ask here
.
- If you need to remove a ghost wick, go here.
- To request a page to be moved along with its history, go here.
- Some locked pages have ongoing cleanup threads, like Complete Monster (Thread), Five-Man Band (Thread), and Magnificent Bastard (Thread). Other than purely technical requests, edits to these pages ought to be discussed in these threads first.
- Also, we do not do direct edits (other than changing wicks) to Magnificent Bastard or Complete Monster example lists. Rather, you need to do the edit to a sandbox page that follows the format Sandbox.Magnificent Bastard<Name of the example subpage> and Sandbox.Monster<Name of the example subpage> (e.g for Monster.Disney it's Sandbox.Monster Disney) and ask for it to be swapped in on Saturday for Magnificent Bastard and on Monday for Complete Monster.
- Inappropriate pages that keep being recreated, pages banned under The Content Policy and subpages that are disallowed (like Headscratchers pages for tropes) are valid reasons for requesting page locks.
NOTE: Edited with OP's permission.

The Fetish Fuel pages are locked pending the TRS discussion of what to do with them.
I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.

The image on Double Standard doesn't include the image's source. Can it be added?

Would I be allowed to make these changes to Locked Pages?
John Cena: Being one of the most polarizing individuals in Professional Wrestling makes this too big a target for Edit War.
"Stop Having Fun" Guys: Examples lock out.
And this for 24?
Life Imitates Art: The positive portrayal of David Palmer is credited for the election of Barack Obama.
Edit: For your consumption...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Palmer_(24_character)
Pundits, and indeed Dennis Haysbert himself, have claimed that Haysbert's portrayal of David Palmer allowed viewers to become more comfortable with the idea of an African American president and consequently may have helped the political campaign of Obama,[8] who was elected the 44th President on November 4, 2008. Commentators have called this influence the "Palmer effect", in contrast to the Bradley effect.[9]

You haven't described what changes you want to make to those two articles. I'm not going to open them to arbitrary edits.
Re: 24... I'm going to call Citation Needed on that else it's way too Flame Bait.

Reading tropes such as You Know What You Did
I put up some links for how Life Imitates Art in 24. I wish to add the following Trope
- Life Imitates Art: David Palmer's positive portrayal has been credited for the election of Barack Obama.
I didn't pothole the links but I can if you like.
I would also like to add this to Locked Pages.
John Cena: Being one of the most polarizing individuals in Professional Wrestling makes this too big a target for Edit War.
And change the "Stop Having Fun" Guys entry from this...
"Stop Having Fun" Guys: Examples lockout due to some people making a pointless Take That at the mods for removing Natter. Also somewhat pointless because of the Troper Tales sub-page.
...to this.
"Stop Having Fun" Guys: Examples lockout.
Would I be allowed to?

Oh, I misunderstood. You wanted those edits made to the Locked Pages article. I had a semantic mindfart. Okay, I added John Cena. I'm curious why you want the edit about SHFG. Those are the reasons it was locked.
Regarding 24, I am not going to add that. It's too polarizing a topic.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
Reading tropes such as You Know What You Did
The reason I'd like to have the "Stop Having Fun" Guys example edited it because it would not read like a Take That! on the Tropers if we just had it read as an examples lockout. The same as I didn't say for the John Cena page being locked to be explained by there being Edit Wars between Fan Dumb and Hate Dumb, or how I wouldn't support saying the Michael Cole page was locked because of Coleminer Ho Yay.
''The wiki is only interested in hosting a friendly, civil forum. Check out the rules. We do enforce them.''
The "Stop Having Fun" Guys reason seems contrary to that.

Well, it's certainly clear. I dunno, any other opinions?
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
"Stop Having Fun" Guys: Examples lockout due arguing with the mods for removing Natter. Personal tales are more fitting for the Troper Tales sub-page.
Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. Dick
Reading tropes such as You Know What You Did
Yeah...it's clear that the description is telling the people who did question the edits in "Stop Having Fun" Guys that You Suck. If the site is only interested in a friendly, civil forum I'm not sure such a description would qualify. I'd be more inclined to state edit wars over content and leave it at that.
"Stop Having Fun" Guys: Example lockout due to Edit War over content.
Something like that. Otherwise there would be no reason not to say nasty things about the other pages being locked.

Edit Request for PrinceofPersia -
- MacGuffin Delivery Service: Happens at least twice.
Was going to add this to the Shout-Out section.
- Prince Dastan locking a prison like gate and taunting his pursuers with the key ring is a shoutout to the Pirates Of The Caribbean with which this film shares a production company and producer.
Also, out of curiosity, does anyone know why this was locked?
Thank you.

Check Locked Pages for lock reasons. In this case, I believe it was because of persistent vandalism by members of its Hatedom. We've tried unlocking it in the hopes that the furor died down, but alas not.
I put in your edits.

Pronounced YAK-you-luss
I noted that Compensated Dating is apparently locked due to 'issues with advertisers'. Didn't we deal with that problem with the NSFW/SFW site segregation, or do the issues with that page go beyond that?
What's precedent ever done for us?
Lost in Space
I'm fairly sure it has to do with prostitution, but honestly I don't know...
How very odd. Eddie created the article on May 23, 2010, then it hasn't been edited since. So I can only assume it got cut for being controversial then went through a Sandbox vetting. But I can't verify this.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
Michael Cole has Critical Research Failure, which is not YMMV. Can it be moved back?
Pronounced YAK-you-luss
It looks like a YMMV trope from where I'm standing.
Got the banner, anyway.

What the heck? Any way, that page has Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass listed, which does not have the YMMV banner.
Ahh didn't see that thread, thanks for the answer and for the help Fighteer.

I wanted to add a film example to This Is for Emphasis, Bitch!:
- In Easy A, when Brandon runs away, he leaves his parents a note that says, "I'm gay, bitches!"
Lost in Space
Don't judge me, but the Fetish Fuel page for KodomoNoJikan
is locked for some reason and since it's a YMMV thing I want to add this to the section at the bottom.
