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.

In The Content Policy, please change the following:

  • Fur Affinity: Kept by content violations review, but was later judged to be not a work and cut on this basis.

to:

  • Fur Affinity: Kept by content violations review, but was later judged to be not a work and cut on this basis. Later restored in the Platform namespace as Platform.Fur Affinity.

That's because Fur Affinity has just been restored as a platform hosting several works at Platform.Fur Affinity.

Can DieForOurShip.Inuyasha be unlocked? The page has exactly 3 edits: the page's creation in 2019, the removal of the page image later that year, and its sole fulfilled edit request in 2022. Given how small the Inuyasha fandom is now, shipping-related edit wars are pretty unlikely, especially with the Edit War policy about to be loosened soon.

(I also suggest Characters.Realm Of The Mad God Enemies is removed from Locked Pages, as it's now unlocked.)

Monster.Film M To N has the following entry:

  • The Monster: Dr. Gustave Ziska is an escapee from an insane asylum who took the place over. Having once been a surgeon who went mad, Ziska began to kill multiple people to discover the source of immortality and swapped souls between bodies, which inevitably resulted in the death of his victims. Running out of victims in the asylum, Ziska resorts to trapping passersby to use for his ghastly experiments.

Film.The Monster needs to be changed to Film.The Monster 1925 as the page was moved.

In Monster.Video Games Fan Works, especifically in Metroid. In The Movie topic, it has a youtube link that should be under brackets, not showing the weblink like that.

It's been over a month since allegations surfaced against FlufflePuff, I think we should lock Ask Fluffle Puff and all of it's related sub-pages.

Only one normal edit, and the subpages haven't been edited in years.

By the way, as others have said, the controversy and leaks surrounding Mandela Catalogue have died down, so it can be unlocked along with all of its subpages.

Ptitle (which was cut after the Ptitle system was retired) was cut and locked but is somehow making a "fake bluelink", and should probably go on the PRLC under the "Other/Unsorted" category.

Am I that troper? Maybe, maybe not, the world may never know.

BetterThanItSounds.Video Games S To Z was split into BetterThanItSounds.Video Games S To V and BetterThanItSounds.Video Games W To Z. I therefore suggest that the former's entry in Image Pickin' Special Cases (listed under the BUPKIS folder) is substituted with the latter two to reflect the page split.

Level Up Drawback and Level Up Downside as redirects to Low-Level Advantage, since if "ability level up means stronger but costlier" counts, then Low-Level Advantage is pretty broad.

Suggestion for Quotes.Complete Monster (apologies if this has been suggested and rejected before):

"I. AM. THE. NEW. GOD. All is one in Darkseid. This mighty body is my church. When I command your surrender, I speak with three billion voices... When I make a fist to crush your resistance. IT IS WITH THREE BILLION HANDS! When I stare into your eyes and shatter your dreams. And break your heart. IT IS WITH SIX BILLION EYES! NOTHING LIKE DARKSEID HAS EVER COME AMONG YOU: NOTHING WILL AGAIN. I WILL TAKE YOU TO A HELL WITHOUT EXIT OR END. AND THERE I WILL MURDER YOUR SOULS! AND MAKE YOU CRAWL AND BEG! AND DIE! DIE! DIE FOR DARKSEID!"

Also for Quotes.Complete Monster, please add a quote mark (") to the beginning of the second The Authority quote, and add an extra dash (-) to the end of Raquel's line in the second Icon quote.

Trimming the hedges, one trope at a time.

Could we add Cygnosaurs as an example on [[Nightmare Fuel/Serina Serina’s Nightmare Fuel subpage]]? Besides, most subpages for Serina are outdated…

(The reason I didn’t do it is because I’m not good at the “TV Tropes style of wording”)

"Can we add an example" is not how it works. We aren't fans of the work, nor do we know what exactly you're asking us to talk about.

[up][up] NightmareFuel.Serina isn’t even locked, so you can try to add the example yourself. If you’re unsure about your writing, go to this thread.
