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.

Considering that Sliding Scale Of Anti Heroes seems to be a red link in the wiki and forum sandboxes and locked as well, it should be added to Locked Pages and Permanent Red Link Club.

For Fifty Shades of Grey, Too Dumb to Live is misused, it should be Ask a Stupid Question... (or removed).

It currently says: "Too Dumb to Live: While on a night flight in a helicopter, Ana asks Grey how anyone can see well enough to travel at night. Apparently she is unaware of the illuminated flight panel in front of her, the lights on the helicopter and the millions of cars below her that are driving with headlights."

On Permanent Red Link Club, the entry should go into the deliberate redlink section. I'll remember next time to be more precise.

Anyhow, since I just noticed the lenght of the sections in both Locked Pages and Permanent Red Link Club, may I propose to folderize it?

Request to add to Side Effects Include... under Real Life:

  • Almost every drug has "diarrhea" as a side effect because it's hard to watch what all the test subjects are eating and from where, and a few are bound to have a case of the unrelated runs during the study. Rather than sorting through the things the test subjects ate from where and how they were prepared, it's just easier to simply say "the side effects include diarrhea."

Would someone please add the following HERE for the animated canon?

*Rourke, from Atlantis The Lost Empire, is a tomb-robbing mercenary who's Only in It for the Money, but what cements him is his attitude toward his current assignment. He takes the Heart of Atlantis, which is precisely what keeps the Atlanteans alive. Without it, they'll all die. A lot of other villains wouldn't be aware of this fact, and any with scruples would leave it once they learned that. Rourke? Takes it KNOWING that the civilization will die, and just plain doesn't care. Later on, in order to ensure his escape, he throws his loyal Dragon off of his ascending zeppelin. What settles his evil here is that he jokes about it, and caps it off with a "Nothing personal!" What's rather frightening is that it ISN'T personal; he hadn't had any problems with Helga beforehand, and betrayed her simply because it slightly benefited him.
Thanks :)

That example needs namespacing (Atlantis The Lost Empire —> Atlantis The Lost Empire) and disambiguating (Dragon —> Dragon) before it can be added.

On the Barack Obama page, you could replace the "And no, he's not dead" part with something more recent. Here's my suggestion.

Steven Spielberg has announced his intention to create a biographical film about Obama, as a Spiritual Successor to his acclaimed film Lincoln. See the announcement for it here.

Point of order against @5346: There has been an as-yet unaddressed objection in @12298 of the cleanup topic. Please hold on.

DTH except for the Monster.Star Wars request...that should be put on the list on Monster.Film. I just added the Obama request to that page and tweaked the other link's intro.

...which is a locked page and will need a moderator to edit.
