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][up] I did most of those. I made the questionable "or" an "and/or" to cover the bases and rewrote the Vile Villain sentence.

[up] Done.

LightNovel.Ben-To was cut earlier this evening. It does have 82 inbounds, so a redirect to LightNovel.Ben To would be appreciated.

Could a mod go to Video Games and replace all of the City of Heroes dot points with the following per the cleanup thread;

  • Mother Mayhem from City of Heroes runs a mental asylum devoted to training Praetorian psychics as "Seers," thought-police who track down and apprehend any "thought criminals," so that "Mother" can "rehabilitate" them. But the Seers aren't volunteers, and that's actually the secondary purpose of the Seer Network; the primary purpose is to provide "Mother" with psychics to feed on, prolonging her own life and expanding her personal power.

While we're namespacing in Gratuitous Rape, can we go ahead and hit them all at once?

  1. Berserk to Manga/
  2. Okane Ga Nai to Manga/
  3. Hen to Manga/ (This work was cut as the result of rogue cutting during the initial sweep of porn works, and has not been decided by the panel yet, so please do not delete the wick.)
  4. Zeorymer to Manga/
  5. Action Comics to ComicBook/ as listed above.
  6. Since the custom titler isn't working on this page, can the wick to legolas by laura be potholed to the title with all lowercase letters?
  7. My Immortal to FanFic/
  8. The Hills Have Eyes to Film/
  9. Evil Dead to Film/
  10. Maradonia Saga to Literature/
  11. Game Of Thrones to Series/
  12. Rome to Series/
  13. Cthulhu Tech to TabletopGame/ (Should also be written as two words.)
  14. Something Positive to Webcomic/

On Base Breaker, can you fix the top quote so the two chants are on separate lines?

The page is also showing up on the NCIS related to page and I have no idea why. I already checked the page for NCIS wicks but there isn't any.

For the Video Games page, could you swap some of the examples for me please (these should all be in the second folder)?

For First Encounter Assault Recon could you replace both bullet points with the following;

  • Genevieve Aristide from First Encounter Assault Recon is a Corrupt Corporate Executive responsible for the events of the first game, openning up the vault despite the head of that project telling her what a horrible idea it was. When Alma's mental ghost manages to break Paxton Fettel out, her main priority is to cover up Armacham's involvement in the whole affair, ordering their security teams to kill one of her own employees who knew too much. In the second game, it's discovered she also authorised two more unethical Projects; Harbinger which tried to take sick individuals and transform them into another Psychic Commander, but only survived to twist them into monstorous forms. The other was Project: Paragon, which involved taking children with promising mental and physical attributes and enrolling them in a fake elementry school, where they would be fed chemicals to grant them psychic powers and sedatives so they could be taken to an underground lab, all in the hopes of finding future candidates for Harbinger. And when all of these projects blow up in her face and result in the entire city being devestated by a massive explosion and Alma's psychic outbursts, her main priority is capturing Alma so she can maintain her position in Armacham, sacrificing Beckett to be raped by Alma and killing Stokes to prevent her from interfering.

For The Darkness, could you replace it with the following;

  • Paulie Franchetti in The Darkness. He adopted the protagonist of the game, Jackie Estacado, so he could mold him into a hitman loyal to the family. The game starts with him sending Jackie on a suicide mission to kill a business rival because Jackie started questioning the way he does business, but he has already killed the business rival and strapped his corpse full of explosives as a birthday present, leaving a tape to mock Jackie before he died. When Jackie survives the blast, Paulie gets revenge by blowing up the Orphanage that Jackie grew up in, killing all the orphans and nuns inside and then telling Jackie over the phone it was all his fault. When Jackie starts to ruin Paulie's business dealings in retaliation he kidnaps Jackie's girlfriend Jenny, brings her to the Orphanage and then murderers her right in front of Jackie, blaming it all on Jackie for not blindly following orders. Even at the end he shows no remorse for his crimes, telling Jackie that Jenny was a weakness and Jackie shouldn't have cared about her death.

Find the example that starts with Jon Irenicus and replace the first line with the following (a little bit trival, but if you're in the neighbourhood anyway....);

For the Uncharted example, could you swap the whole thing with;

  • Zoran Lazarevic from Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. From the backstory we learn he's a known war criminal, responsible for murder and torture on a large scale. The first time you see this guy up close, he shoots Jeff, Elena's wounded cameraman, whom Nate has been trying to carry to safety for an entire level. After failing to kill Drake when the latter boarded his train, he attacks the village Drake had been staying at, killing many civillians in the process. Later on, when Nate tries to pull a Put Down Your Gun and Step Away by taking one of Lazarevic's men captive, he simply laughs and shoots the hostage in the head after giving a speech about how Hitler, Stalin, Genghis Khan and Pol Pot were all "great men" because they "had the will to do what other men would not."

Thanks

Sex Slave, under Music Video:

  • The video for "I Wanna Be Your Dog" by Swanky Tunes & Hard Rock Sofa portrays kidnapped Russian girls being sold at an "Elite Men's Club."

(On an unrelated note, I Need a Freaking Drink after watching that.)

I despise hypocrisy, unless of course it is my own.

Hmm. On Gratuitous Rape, the wick to Cthulhu Tech should be wikiworded and written as two words, not written as one word with brace notation, since it's mashing the two words into Cthulhutech, which is not correct to my knowledge.

[up] And the apostrophe in the example listed above should be purged with extreme prejudice.

There's a lot of namespaces that need to be done there. Too tired to do them now - will have a list tomorrow.
