Locked Pages: Lock, UnLock and Edit requests

Go To

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:

  1. Check Locked Pages and Permanent Red Link Club first. They can provide guidance on what are good and bad requests.
  2. Include working links in your request to the page(s) in question.
  3. 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.
  4. We do not edit archived articles, even to correct links.
  5. If you need to have the capitalization of a page title or namespace of a work fixed, ask here.
  6. If you need to remove a ghost wick, go here.
  7. To request a page to be moved along with its history, go here.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.

[up] Five-Man Band is a Square Peg Round Trope there. Should be deleted.

Pulled it to discussion.

Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.

I already said it before, but I mention it again since I have been ignored. On Video Games Complete Monster page, there is an example that DOES NOT fit. There has been a consensus this time.

Another villain (the consensus on this has been too) from Disney is:

  • Mirage from Aladdin series, because unlike the other villains, she has no motivation in destroying Agrabah other than for her own malice. Iago even mentions her a evil incarnate.

On Administrivia.No Lewdness No Prudishness, the note about Lolita under the 6th guideline needs to be removed; that work was restored. I can't name a replacement example off the top of my head.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Final Fantasy VII, I'd like to ask this trope be added, if I'm using it appropriately please.

Widget Game: Compared to previous Final Fantasy games, this one has a very heavy anime influence, especially in its character design, and many aspects are simply weird. Cross-dressing to infiltrate a mob boss's mansion is a major subquest, enemies are indescribably bizzare (2-Faced, Christopher, Skeeskee), and the plot is more subtle and ambiguous with the main villain's motives and plans left up to interpretation (until the spin-offs at least).

Edit request for the locked page Sideboob please, as a newly released film has an example:

  • In American Reunion, Stiffler excitedly points out that he can see this when ogling an attractive girl in the beach scene.

My name is Addy. Please call me that instead of my username.

[up][up][up]WALL-E should go on the "Film" section, since it doesn't have an "Animated Film" section (implying a suggestion, hehe)

President Barack Obama's page has a wick to Main.Cold Case that needs a redirect to Series.Cold Case.

On The Garbage Pail Kids Movie, please move Hitler Ate Sugar from the YMMV tab to the main page, since Hitler Ate Sugar is not a YMMV trope.

[up][up] Calm down, Money. Willbyr could do it, but would rather wait for someone more involved in the project. There isn't anything wrong with that, and the change will happen in due course.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
