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.

For Dm C Devil May Cry, you can replace "with a PC release due on the 25th." with "and on January 25th for PC."

[up] Done.

[up][up] I agree that that piece could use some help, but the suggestions have less "repair" and more "respond" to me. Put together a rewrite that incorporates your items into a cohesive entry and I'll add it in.

Horny Devils, Mythology

  • Lilith of ancient Mesopotamian/Jewish mythology, who went on to mother an entire race of demons.
    • The Mesopotamian Lilu and Lilitu were not a single entity but a whole family and though not all of them were horny devils, the hero Gilgamesh was directly descended from one of the many who were.
    • Jewish Lilith started out as a baby eating rape demon enemy of mankind who took advantage of Adam after he was kicked out of Eden, later medieval legends changed her into the first woman who Adam kicked out of Eden because she refused to let him be on top: interesting considering the etymology of Succubi and Inccubi.
I meant as a replacement like that.

How is it incoherent?

  • Mention a character type that is allegedly shared between two cultures.
    • Culture one's take.
    • Culture two's take.

Replacing the current entry with that would be repairing. The extra bullet points are not responses in a conversation, they are more in depth elaborations on a shorter statement.

[up] Oh, I see, I was misreading it earlier...I'd've preferred something in paragraph form but that works well enough. It's added in with some grammar and formatting tweaks.

For the western animation page for My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, I want the wiki link to be on the main page. Just like this: Has its own wiki.

It doesn't belong on the main page. External wikis focused on specific shows fall under The Wiki Rule, ergo Trivia.

Please change Main.AKB48 to have a Music/ namespace on YMMV.Wreck It Ralph.

And the header on DethroningMoment.That Guy With The Glasses for Main.The Angry Joe Show should be WebVideo.The Angry Joe Show.

I'm here from the Complete Monster clean-up. We have just launched a subpage for mythology and religion, and given the contentious nature of the topic and the trope, would like it locked. Also, if someone could please add a link to the new page to the main Complete Monster page, that would be great.

Thank you very much.

In Fox News Channel, can we expand the Cowboy BeBop at His Computer example for those who aren't familiar with the scandal? Here's my suggestion:

Could you add on Double Standard: "See also Aggressive Categorism and the Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality."

And on Horny Devils: replace the only instance of "Biological Mash Up" with "{{Mix-and-Match|Man}}".

Thanks :)

An addition for Final Fantasy VII:

  • Super Cell Reception: There was a PHS (Party Hensei System, a pun on Personal Handiphone System) which allowed you to summon your comrades from anywhere — in the middle of the desert, on a mountain, in a cave or underneath a giant metal plate. However, it didn't seem so much cellular as Save Point-ular, and only worked when on one.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

In George W Bush and Barack Obama, the references to Fear, Loathing and Gumbo on the Campaign Trail '72 should be moved to the Literature/ namespace.

For Five-Man Band, would it be acceptable to request, on The Chick sentence, to remove "Otherwise, it is not a Five-Man Band", and add "traditionally" to "This role is played by a woman or a girl?" I understand it might cause a drift like pre-lock, but that just seems to strict. Or add "If the role happens to be filled by a male character, it is The Heart". I don't care, just remove that first sentence.

If not, then that's fine.

The last edit is not acceptable - the Five-Man Band must have a female chick. I do not agree with the other edit either, for the same reason.
