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.

Can I ask why my requests @5440 were not done? Was it just overlooked, or did I do anything wrong?

Can the Django Unchained article be edited to redirect to its Film/ entry? I think it'd most intuitive to do so, since the Main entry is empty anyway, and all the entries under that particular work name refer to the movie.

Sorry if I messed up with the thread or this post or anything, this particular forum software I've never used and I kinda get lost by its placement of the tools and everything.

This is the right place, but we don't do de novo Main/-to-Work/ redirects.

The World Building Herald PM needs [[Troper]] changed to [[troper]] so that it displays properly when sent.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

5457 and 5458 are done. I don't handle changes to the herald messages...probably should, but I don't know where the templates are.

Eh, we'll have to wait for lu or shimaspawn then - maybe they can point you to the templates.

On the Let's Play page, Cloudcuckoolander is spelled incorrectly four of the five times it appears. Please change it to the correct spelling. Thank you.

That's not how it works. Give us the exact text of the edit you'd like to make and we add it (after approval, of course).

The problem is that, after you fix them, you have to go back and fix them again so that it will show up on the Related To... page.

It is not very important, but i would like to add, on Christina Hendrick's page, the fact that she played in Drive, a movie directed by Nicholas Winding Refn, with Ryan Gosling.

Is it possible ?

Thanks !
