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.

Oh, sorry! I didn't check the history. I'm going to leave it up to this thread.

For Nietzsche Wannabe, Red Dwarf should have the Series/ namespace.

On Character Holding Bin, the pothole to Lolicon is misusing it to mean a young girl. Can it be removed?

On Legal Jailbait and Horny Devils, can Shin Megami Tensei be namespaced to Franchise/?

This is the second sentence of True Art:

It is spoken of ironically as 'True Art,' implying that it is may be neither true or be art.

I'm... not really sure what should be done with it, but there are some glaring grammar issues here.

Given it's a derivative of No True Scottsman, I'm inclined to think somebody just dropped an "If" from the front.

Perhaps "It is sometimes spoken of ironically as 'True Art, ' implying that the subject is neither true nor art."

Anti Shipping Goggles has an If You Know What I Mean sinkhole on it.

Also, more ptitle redirects with inbounds:

[up]It's the wretched custom title. Search for If You Knowwhat I Mean.

The ptitles must be redirected to the non-ptitle pages.

[up] You accidentally put "not" instead of "nor" on the True Art page. The sentence should end "neither true nor art."

Er shimaspawn, you didn't actually those pages the the un-namespaced Shin Megami Tensei wicks on Legal Jail Bait and Horny Devils are still there. Anyway, on Nietzsche Wannabe can Pokemon be changed to Pokémon Diamond and Pearl?

On Fallen Creator, can you change the bit about Zemeckis to:

  • Robert Zemeckis has fallen victim of this as of early 2011 with the spectacular failure of Mars Needs Moms. It's too early to tell if it may grind the performance capture movies Zemeckis was a champion of to a temporary halt (October's Tintin was a big success critically and commercially), but in the meantime, it has led to the closure of his studio. At least, this may prompt him to return to "traditional" movies...
