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.

It's Not Porn, It's an Index has a minor grammar error.
The titles of these tropes seems like they belong in Nudity Tropes or Sex Tropes, but they aren't (no, Rule 34 doesn't make them so).

Ryona has a hottip.
The media always includes one or more characters beaten up, unconscious, or dead. But what defines Ryona is the one thing that all of these videos have in common: the recipient is Always Female — the Spear Counterpart, known as "Gyaku*-Ryona," exists mostly as a backlash and is extremely rare in comparison.

Hi

, Done.
I'll get to that one later if another mod doesn't beat me to it.
Ryona's hottip needs to be changed to a note, by the way.

Regarding the aforementioned YMMV/Naruto example, placed under the first paragraph of Harsher in Hindsight for Neji Hyuga:
- An Alternate Character Interpretation is that while fate can't be fought, you shouldn't be so sure you know what it is, either. True, Naruto wound up being a Born Winner, but he only found that through Character Development, Training from Hell, and believing in his own self-worth. The Aesop could just as easily be stated as "Sure, you can't Screw Destiny, but if you weren't a jerk, you'd get to know her better."

The mods can edit your post to see the markup, so you don't need to post it separately.
Let's Hop to It!
Please add I Want Grandkids to No Real Life Examples Please. It's already described on its entry as being such, but it needs to be on the index.
Arcane Assassin tried to add this example to My Immortal, but added it to the unlocked YMMV page instead appealing to here. Is it worthy to be added to the main page?
- Manly Tears: Male characters cry very frequently over small things, sometimes even crying tears of blood.
Hi
DTH except for ...that doesn't quite seem like it fits, I'll ask the rest of the staff.
The definition is "when even manly characters weep", so we'll need more than that to make it fit.

According to Locked Pages and Permanent Red Link Club, Sliding Scale Of Anti Heroes redirects to Anti-Hero, but it doesn't; it redirects to Analysis.Anti Hero instead. The former two should be changed to reflect this.
Hi
Request for two articles:
First, Something Awful need its link to Doom House changed to its "Web Video/" namespace.
Second, on Permanent Red Link Club, in the description for DarthWiki.Complain About Shows You Dont Like, there's an extra 'e' in "haters."

I... I don't know how this even happened.
All Gays Are Pedophiles has an Unpublished Works thing on it. Stationery Voyagers (I keep misspelling that why is it an E why are they voyagers made of paper) needs to be deleted. Plenty of the entry pimped "examples" say things like "though it hasn't been written yet" (and it's also mentioned in Ask The Tropers). And if that's not enough to murder that wick, it's (supposedly) an aversion........
I have no idea how the "example" was added in the first place, but...

The lock on that page is pretty recent.

As a gay person, the Unpublished Works itself and that page is a bit upsetting. Sorry.
"In distress", my ass.
For addition to No Real Life Examples Please:
* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor - Evil trope
All your safe space are belong to Trump
@DunDun: It was added before the page was locked.

Thank you, I realize that now. It's just that this is disgusting going through these wicks. The author apparently has a thing for Fillapinas....................................................
As per discussion on the CM cleanup thread, the example about Garrick Stout from Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura should be removed from Monster.VideoGames.

- Link to Avengers Disassembled
- Fix the link to Secret Wars (wich goes to the unrelated 1986 crossover, by other authors) to Secret War, the one actually wrote by Bendis
Hi
Monster/Fanworks has a incorrect Hannibal Lecture wick. The lines in question are
"In the same fic, the Serial Killer is a Deadly Doctor who was spreading cholera around London just to get Holmes's attention. Infecting Davey Wiggins was a mere bonus. And then the man seals his fate by delivering a nasty Hannibal Lecture to Sherlock Holmes. Needless to say, that didn't end well."
Based on the context, Hannibal Lecture is more appropriately Breaking Speech because the Serial Killer in question is not Holmes' captive.
On another note 'Shoot the Dog' is also incorrect because it does not refer to 'comitting a morally foul but necessary' action.
Hi
FATAL has extra data in the youtube link.
We're not linking the rulebook due to its content; it can readily be found if you really want to go looking. The game even has an official theme song
