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.

Dyeing for Your Art should actually by Dye Hard. Since they're both trivia, Dyeing for Your Art should just be removed.

That's disgusting, but if you really want to propose it, take it to Image Pickin'.

Underboobs has a no pic admin tag. That means no pictures.

There's some of those we might be able to have some wiggle room on, but that ain't one...but I just thought of a gag pic for that page that could work...maybe I can get it done tonight before trivia.

I'm not excited by the idea of an image for that article, gag or otherwise.

Before it gets lost in the shuffle, can 3303 be taken care of?

Can the Film/ subpage for Complete Monster be locked? I know it hasn't been cleaned yet, but there's a bunch of activity on it, and I think locking it can keep it from getting any worse.

Reminder: Offscreen Villainy does not count towards Complete Monster.

In the Made Of Win Archive Early 2011 page, the reference to Australian Politics needs to be changed from the Main/ namespace to Useful Notes/.

Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil

  • Law And Order Special Victims Unit to Series/. There are two mentions of it. Once is the opening quote, second is the first example in Live-Action TV, which doesn't need the [[ ]] markup for the show name.
  • There's a mention of the redlinked Rape Is Love in the third paragraph.
  • Buffy The Vampire Slayer to Series/, on another note, it doesn't need those stupid curly brackets. The fourth example underneath is talking about Angel (which is also Series/) should be a single bullet.
  • Dollhouse to Series/ and a minor change to the example:
In Dollhouse, it's notable that amoral-seeming Topher makes his Sudden Principled Stand when he's ordered to permanently turn Sierra over to Nolan Kinnard.
In the reimagined Battlestar Galactica episode "Pegasus", many of the crew, including Captain Adama, are uncertain how precisely to handle the "incident" where the Cylon interrogator from the Pegasus tried to rape Sharon while questioning her. One of the exceptions is Doctor Cottle, one of the most upright and moral characters on the show, who bluntly states that what they tried to do to Sharon was "unforgivable."

Thank you!

Can we cut the Dark Knight Rises example from Film? It was added without being discussed by a troper who has a habit of jumping the gun when it comes to this trope, and it's written very poorly.
