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.

On LetsPlay, remove the (redundant) second Mangaminx bullet.

[up] Done...but Mangaminx is also down in the list at the bottom, should the first entry be stricken also?

Why has the main page for Collar 6 been deleted and locked?

[up][up], [up] I didn't see it on the disposition list and it doesn't have any votes in the voting tool, so I dunno if it's been evaluated yet.

[up] I don't think it has. It was one of the ones cut pre-P5, and was appealed, but I don't think they've gone over it yet. They seem to be focusing on current pages.

Crossposted from Unlock a locked page since I was told it should be here instead:

Could we get Film.Toy Story (cutlisted&cut) made as a redirect to WesternAnimation.Toy Story? There are sixteen inbounds, and I thought that we try not to kill pages with more than ten.

Same with Film.Cars to WesternAnimation.Cars (21 inbounds).

On Horny Devils, the pothole to Lolicon is misused to mean a young girl can it be removed?

For Mass Effect 3 I think a lot of fans would appreciate this being added.

  • Spiteful A.I.: Comes in two flavors. The first is when the enemy refuses to end a multiplayer match early by killing off downed players, forcing them to either wait or Rage Quit and lose any experience points gained. The second is how most objectives are to eliminate specific powerful targets in a tight time limit, with the mission failing if you do not somehow survive the waves of Goddamn Bats, Demonic Spiders and Elite Mooks brimming with Artificial Brilliance that you do not have time to take care of. The specific enemies typically hide on the other side of the map and you only have a minute to kill it.

Very minor issue, but on Fan Fic Recommendations, the Eureka Seven link is mis-capitalised with a capital N.

Not a substitute for a formal medical consultation.

Meh, I'll just unlock that page. It should be fine now.

Thanks. Have done a little cleaning. (I'm a bit picky that way.)

Ptitleiihlp09n needs a redirect to Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards (14 inbounds)

Also: Ptitle2dt8gjfc to Marvelvs Capcom 3 (947 [!!] inbounds)

How did that one get cut?

Actually, I think that capital N is deliberate. The official title of the show is Psalm of Planets Eureka seveN.

Found two more:

Ptitlejxjnwzeo to Golden Sun: Dark Dawn (56 inbounds)

[up][up]...Good point, but then it should've been Eureka seveN. Anyway, I just changed it to remain consistent with the way it's presented in most English versions, and I guess it's still a very minor thing in the end. My mistake.

On Know The Staff, Ironeye is listed under Moderator and Cut Master. Could he be shifted to just the latter list, please, like Meta Four is?

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Er... I just checked the two pages I asked to have edited... They're now unlocked, and all the inbounds have disappeared as well. Explanation, please?

#2649: May 27th 2012 at 5:15:02 PM

Oh, and also: this is creating a ghost wick as it is not on the Self-Demonstrating page itself. Can a quick null-edit and cutlisting work out?

EDIT: Wait... I remember why now! Nvm. A bit weird that, given that the ptitle wicks don't even show namespaces...
