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.

On Fallen Creator, I like to ask for an edit to the Karen Traviss part in Literature. It has some outdated information. Cut the part that says "and is slated to start writing the next set of Halo novels. Only time will tell if she will alienate those fanbases as well." Replace it with this:
- Since then, she has moved on to the Gears of War and Halo universes. Her first book for the latter, Halo: Glasslands was poorly received by the fandom for its demonization of Dr. Catherine Halsey. Traviss removed many of Halsey's positive traits, such as her guilt over the SPARTAN Program, and had most of her companions now hate her and constantly talk about how evil she is. In addition, Glassland's "good" characters were actually just as amoral as Halsey, causing severe Moral Myopia as they lectured her and heaped humiliating punishments. Thus the sequel book, Halo: The Thursday War, attempted several Authors Saving Throws to try to rectify the hypocrisy, and 343 Industries itself turned Glassland's protagonist into a Bigger Bad.
There's also some namespacing within the article that's needed, like The Lion King getting the "Disney" namespace.

Done, as a 3rd-level bullet point under Traviss' first entry. I also namespaced the Lion King entries, but I don't have the gumption right now to tackle the entire article.
No problem. Only quibble is that you forgot to delete the line "and is slated to start writing the next set of Halo novels. Only time will tell if she will alienate those fanbases as well." It's right after Bigger Bad in the Traviss entry.
That, and apparently the Brian Bendis link has become Brian Michael Bendis. Changing that is my last request.

On All Gays Are Pedophiles, please add Literature/ to Sing You Home, thanks.
Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.Whoops...thanks for catching that, those are done.
Done.
On All Gays Are Pedophiles, hoped to add this example:
- In Game of Thrones, the eunuch spymaster Varys comes across as Ambiguously Gay, and because of a belief in this trope, some of the other characters at court like to insult him by intimating that he takes sexual advantage of the children who spy for him.

Edit, edit, edit, edit the wikiHey, for the Bioshock Infinite YMMV tab?
- Draco in Leather Pants: Daisy Fitzroy, due to a combination of tragic backstory and completely understandable motives for destroying the Founders, not to mention a bit of The Revolution Will Not Be Vilified. A lot of people think comparing her to Comstock is massively unfair and reeks of white privilege. Please ignore that she's basically the leader of a movement that would make Bolsheviks blanch at their extremism, put out a hit on Booker because he being still alive complicated her PR campaign, and tried to kill a child for no reason other than her own prejudice...
If the current example for Resident Evil on the video games subpage for Complete Monster could be replaced with the following please?
- Resident Evil villains trend towards Tragic Monster, or simply being too inhuman to bother passing moral judgement on. There are two major exceptions.
- Albert Wesker, who has the worst case of Chronic Backstabbing Disorder in the entire series. In RE 1, he sets up his own team, the STARS, to be killed as test subjects for bio-organic weapons, then resurfaces in Code Veronica to make another attempt on the life of surviving member Chris Redfield. In Umbrella Chronicles he kills Sergei Vladimir in order to secure control of the Umbrella Corporation's data, and in RE 5 he really goes to town, killing Ozwell Spencer (his creator), transforming Excella Gionne (his girlfriend) into a mutated monster, and brainwashing Jill Valentine into fighting her partner, Chris, before trying to kill ninety percent of Earth's population with his new Ouroboros virus, all as part of a scheme to become god of a new world. And that's without getting into the revelations that he murdered his mentor Dr. Marcus (RE 0), or the expermients that he and William Birkin conducted on Lisa Trevor (REmake). Wesker's essentially ambition and treachery made manifest, all wrapped up in a trenchcoat and designer sunglasses.
- Alexia Ashford as presented in Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, where her love for her brother is no longer a part of her personality, the way it was in Code Veronica and her evil is cranked up a few notches higher. A Child Prodigy who joined the Umbrella Corporation at the age of twelve, Alexia was also an entitled sadist with a serious god complex. She aided her brother in murdering and experimenting on their father, tortured a classmate to death (and recorded the session) for being almost as smart as she was, and eventually injected herself with the T-Veronica virus, which she planned to use to Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence. Reawakened from cryogenic sleep in her twenties, Alexia kills her brother for not waking her up on time, transforms Claire Redfield's Love Interest, Steve Burnside into a monster and forces him to fight her to the death, and tries repeatedly to kill Chris and Claire for no other reason then their presence at her facility. She reveals that her plan is to infect the world with the T-Veronica virus, enslaving most of humanity to her will. When asked why, Alexia just gloats about how, as a superior speciment of humanity she deserves to be Queen.

Oh dear. One more time, on Fallen Creator. The Brian Michael Bendis link is supposed to be namespaced to "Creator", as the link I've typed here shows. Brian Michael Bendis does not have a Main, so currently on Fallen Creator it's redlinked. Fix that, and that's all.

Also add namespaces to Resident Evil, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles and Resident Evil – Code: Veronica

I now go by Graf von Tirol.On the Let's Play page, under "Pages for specific Let's Players," the reference to Super Mario Sunshine Versus should be replaced with LetsPlay.Versus, as the page is now about that series of Let's Plays rather than that particular installment.
I guess you can put it as a sub-entry under Attacking Tucans, since Versus is his series. Kind of like how the three members of The Runaway Guys are under The Runaway Guys.

Added those namespaces.
Another for protagonist centered morality under The Bible
- Jonah, a prophet chosen by God, proves to be a worse person than a group of pagan fishermen his folly endangers as well as the Assyrians he was sent to prophesy to. God uses this fact to highlight that just because the Israel has a special pact for him does not change the fact God is for all the people on Earth.
That's not an example. While Jonah definitely has an It's All About Me attitude, the narrative explicitly does not condone Jonah's viewpoint.

YMMV.Bioshock Infinite needs to be added to Locked Pages.

EDIT: The padlock was removed on the page I asked about. Many, many thanks.

Those are requests to be cut, by the way.
Maybe it's just me, but I think the moe entry on Double Standard needs to be rewritten or just straight-up cut down to the male version. It bugs me how it implies that female characters are not allowed to be klutzy or ditsy or they're an offensive stereotype, somehow.
