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

We're done to here except for the request TDKR edit...if there's a mod that's seen it and wants to make the edit, go for it; I'm not risking spoilers.

Thank you for editing Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil but Dollhouse still needs a Series/ please. Thank you again!
EDIT: Oops, I didn't namespace Dollhouse when I rewrote the example in my OP, so it's partially my bad.

Momentum, a function of mass and velocity, is conserved between portals. In layman's terms: speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out.I've found Beyond the Impossible misuse and I'd like to see it removed.
YMMV/Lolita Beyond The Impossible is incorrect. describing 'the art of the wedgie' in purple prose is not impossible.
Monster/Rurouni Kenshion, Video Games and Monster/Disney Beyond the Impissible is incorrect. Its being used for emphasis. On Disney there is a real life example, which is not allowed, and another which is simple misuse as emphasis
The Fundamentalist Beyond the Impossible is incorrect. Its closer to the old definiton which now belongs to Serial Escalation
The Lonely Island This wick doesn't say anything about breaking internal logic; 'gets uglier with every verse.' Its old definition which now belongs to Serial Escalation. The second one is potholed to 'srsly' which sounds like 'I am not making this up' misuse.
Okay, I'm not sure if this is the right trope, but in Ghastly's Ghastly Comic, there is a line noting the exceptions to All Men Are Perverts: "Peep, who's so young, he looks at sex toys and thinks they are ninja implements".
Would it be appropriate to pothole Children Are Innocent there? If not, that's cool. There might be a fitting similar trope we may or may not have.

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.There has been a consensus that Bison from Street Fighter The Legend Of Chun Li doesn't qualify as Complete Monster and has to be cut. He is on a Film page. Same with Bane from Dark Knight Rises (also on Film page). Both should be cut.
Tropes Are Tools has a Ruined Forever wick that needs to be namespaced to Darth Wiki/.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.A Nother batch of examples from Video Games needs to be taken out as per the cleanup thread;
- Pigma from Star Fox
- The Amnesia the Dark Descent examples
- Erinys from God Of War
- The entire Jade Empire example tree
- The GLA from Command And Conquer Generals
- Warren Vidic from Assassin's Creed
- The Protagonist from Rapelay
As for modifications to good tropes, could you swap out the entire Warcraft section and replace it will the folling;
- Gul'dan from Warcraft. A power-hungry orc, he voluntarily corrupted his people into a bloodthirsty horde which he secretly controls, planned the draenei genocide and brought the orcs into Azeroth so they could trigger two wars. He also created Garona as a "breeding experiment" between an orc soldier and a female draenei prisonner, after what she was magically aged, tortured and mind controlled into becoming his personnal assassin. Finally, he betrayed the Horde to follow his own goals, which caused the defeat of the orcs. Even after his death his evil lingered around his skull, corrupting everything around it.
- Doctor Theolen Krastinov in Scholomance, or as he was known by his victims, The Butcher. He subjected his victims to painful tortures to devise a plague, keeping them alive for weeks from wounds that should have killed them on the first day. When he was finally done with them, he brought them back from the brink of death so he could throw them to his ghouls, laughing as they were eaten alive.
Thanks
Done to here.
On Rob Liefeld's article, under Captain Ersatz, it says he's Deadpool's co-creator with Joe Kelly. This is incorrect, Deadpool's creators are Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza.
Also, I don't think Ghastly's Ghastly Comic fits Her Code Name Was "Mary Sue", as Peep isn't really making a story where he's the most awesome thing ever. He's just a kid having fun.
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.For Let's Play:
- All mentions of VideoGame/HalfLife2 to VideoGame/{{Half-Life 2}}
- Omission of the following:
- which is totally not the original Half-Life, honest,
- ** I thought this was a ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'' LP, not a ''SweetBroAndHellaJeff'' LP.
- The first mention of VideoGame/HalfLife to VideoGame/{{Half-Life}}
- The last mention of VideoGame/HalfLife to VideoGame/{{Half-Life|1}}
For Ghastly's Ghastly Comic, please add ComicBook/ to Chick Tracts.
DQZ: I'm completely unfamiliar with Ghastly, so can you bring that up on its discussion page or in the webcomic forum for verification?
Other than that, we're done to here.
On the Let's Play page, edit the Fallout 1 entry (BOrangeFury's LP) so that it says wide-eyed idealist (plus a pothole to the trope) instead of wide-eyes.
The Lonely Island has this bullet-less non sequitur under Serial Escalation:
Can it be removed?
The Music subpage has been trimmed up and cleaned. Requesting a lock on the page to put it in line with the rest of the Complete Monster pages.

The Irate Gamer needs the ptitle markup to be removed.
in TheBible, in the New Testament ones, in Jesus Christ, may I suggest: -In the Compelling Voice entry (or in a new entry), the I Know Your True Name example (as in His name alone held power) from John 18:4-6, wherein just naming Himself as "I am he" made the people who were gonna arrest him fall to the ground. -Erase one of both Determinator entries (the second one being more complete under The Determinator). -In the Take That! entry the answer "He's talking about me; He's talking about you." In the New Testament characters, in Satan, may I suggest: -In the Blow You Away entry the answer "Or it means in a sin is in the air way." In the New Testament characters, in Joseph of Nazareth, may I suggest: -Fix the Chuck Cunningham Syndrome / Disappeared Dad entry's answer, changing the "..when Jesus was 12 and He was in the Temple showing off his knowledge to the rabbis." into "..when Jesus was 12 and He was in the Temple listening and learning of the Word." (which is what the Bible says anyway, at most He asked about it, good questions anyhow). In the New Testament characters, in Simon Peter, may I suggest: -In the Living Lie Detector entry, the answer "That's actually one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, not to just him but to all who got it." In the New Testament characters, in Paul (Saul) of Tarsus, may I suggest: -In the Heel–Faith Turn entry, the answer "Heel Realization and a subsequent Redemption Quest is the standard way for the Holy Spirit, according to the Word." -Make an Odd Job God entry, explaining how to some polytheistic countries he introduced them to God as the one they worshipped as the unknown god (for whom they had a shrine among all the ones for their other gods). In the New Testament characters, in Christians: -Make a Heel–Faith Turn entry, saying "True for all christians. No exceptions." -Mae a My God, What Have I Done? entry, saying "All christians must go through this Heel Realization moment."
For the Ghostly whatever "Children Are Innocent" thing that Dragon Quest Z is talking about, shouldn't it be potholed to Innocent Inaccurate instead?
"Oh great! Let's pile up all the useless cats and hope a tree falls on them!"Done to here except:
Your formatting is completely jacked up; put a double backslash at the end of each distinct line that's a request, please.
Beats me...looks like another item for discussion to add to DQZ's request.

There's a second instance of Main.J Michael Straczynski that needs to be changed to Creator.J Michael Straczynski on the DarthWiki.Fallen Creator page.
I teleported home last night / With Ron and Sid and Meg / Ron stole Meggy's heart away / And I got Sidney's leg - Douglas Adams
The first paragraph of Legal Jailbait has broken italics formatting.
