Locked Pages: Lock, UnLock and Edit requests

True Art Is Angsty needs adding to Locked Pages.

"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman

I just launched Clone by Conversion. It has an example that needs adding to Final Fantasy VII;

* CloneByConversion: [[spoiler: Cloud]] and all the other clones of Sephiroth created by the Jenova Project.

TV Tropes's No. 1 bread themed lesbian. she/her, fae/faer

Just letting you know-Fetish Fuel mentions the migration to the wiki, but it doesn't link to it. If you could link the word to the wiki in the disclaimer at the bottom of the page that would be great.

We don't want to link to the wiki. It makes it look like we're endorsing it.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"

Mondegreen - Remove extraneous ' on the Family Guy entry, and on the page quote, change "he" in "I mean, what the crap was he even saying there?" to "[Homestar]"

I'm not LGBT. I just think Rain's really cool. Apologies if my humor gets too painful.

On the Kite page, the reference to Media Blasters should be moved to the Creator/ namespace.

"But... nobody told me I needed a signature!"

Please add to Mondegreen, under Video Games:

• In Star Wars: The Old Republic, Doctor Misar thanks a Jedi Player Character by trying to quote the Jedi Catchphrase ("May the Force be with you"), which he has misheard as "May the floor be with you."

Couple pages need wicks changed regarding Badass Abnormal's rename to Empowered Badass Normal. Hollywood Tactics' wicks are both flat misuse, both of Teen Wolf are misuse, The Vampire Diaries are also all misuse as well as The Vampire Diaries Book Characters, the first wick on The Vampire Diaries Main Characters is correct and the others are all wrong and finally The Vampire Diaries The Originals are all wrong. The remaining locked pages for the article appear to be the lost and found and an archive, so I presume those are left as they are.

^ Yes on those last two items (LAF and archives) being left alone.

Also, while I'm here, apparently an earlier request from another troper for an edit to Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil got list in the shuffle.

BelisariusSeries needs to be changed to Literature/BelisariusSeries.

All your safe space are belong to Trump

Please copy Sdouglasjohnson to Tropers.Sdouglasjohnson.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Drunkard's Walk has a Harry Potter wick that needs to be namespaced as Franchise/ or Literature/.

Evil Overlord List Cellblock B also has a Harry Potter wick. I don't know if it should be changed to Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets or removed, because the Chamber of Secrets is not a lake.

5571, 5574-77, 5580-82: Done.

5583: I cut all of the Badass Abnormal links. The first use on The Vampire Diaries Main Characters didn't seem right the way it was set up, but if it is correct I can add it back.

5585: Done. I assume it needs custom-titled to the old spelling, but that shouldn't need to be done through here.

5586: I put the first wick to Literature/ since that's the namespace that's referenced later on in the page. I cut the second completely.

A lot of tropes or various entry parts on the main Devil May Cry page technically belongs at the DmC: Devil May Cry.

• Anti-Climax: A humorous moment in DmC where Kat warns you that you'll need to get through "five floors of hell" while ascending an office building. How do you do it? Walk into the elevator. The electronic display will then read a few random numbers, and then switch back-and-forth between the third and fourth floors above your starting position.

—->Dante: ...She was right. This is hell.

• Asskicking Equals Authority: Kyle Ryder a.k.a. Mundus controls pretty much the entirety of Earth's economy. He's also pretty much invincible under most circumstances, and supremely strong under all others. He also seems to have a large degree of control over the chaos of Limbo.
• Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Mundus.
• Audible Sharpness: The Angel Arms in Dm C produce some kind of muted shouting effect when used.
• Awesome Yet Practical: The Tremor technique in Dm C involves slamming the ground so hard it breaks. It also does triple damage compared to other moves, and increases your Style Rating very fast, especially if you hit multiple enemies/targets with it.
• Bald of Evil: Pretty much everyone who's evil.
• Big Bad: Mundus is a large-size businessman. He turns into a colossus when you actually fight him, though.
• Big Brother Mentor: Vergil takes Dante back to their old home in Dm C to help Dante recover his lost memories of his childhood... and to get some new powers, namely turning his sword into a greataxe or scythe at will.
• Bizarrchitecture: Limbo, being a demonic shadow of the real world, has some of this. Also, the city actively tries to kill you and otherwise impede your progress by squishing walls around you, tearing chunks of the floor away and revealing infinite space underneath, stretching rooms to many times their original length, demolishing environments until there's only floating chunks of debris left, and giving orders to the mooks.
• Blade on a Stick: The Arbiter. Dante can turn his sword, Rebellion, into a greataxe. Or a scythe called Osiris.
• Blind Mistake: The second time Dante meets Phineas, the latter hears him approach and assumes he's under attack again.
• Blind Without 'Em: Phineas, a several-thousand-year-old prophet and inventor. He's completely blind in his flesh-and-blood eye, but his mechanical eye not only grants him sight, but some control over the chaos of Limbo.

Call Back: Dante's "Flock off, feather-face!" line in the first game is repeated in Dm C when he first meets harpies.

• Also, the name of pretty much every trophy in that game.

• Catch and Return: Implemented as a core game mechanic against almost every ranged attack in Dm C.
• Colour Coded Timestop: Everything pulses into grayscale whenever Dante slows time, but returns to its psychedelic Limbo colours after that. Usually.
• Darker and Edgier: Seems to be heading this way.
• Deadpan Snarker: If their particular flavour of snark can be considered deadpan, it would make it this: The Video Game.

—>Kat: You'll need to ascend through five. Floors. Of hell. Be careful, Dante. —>Dante: (inside a glitchy elevator) She was right. This is hell.

• Devil But No God: Vergil mentions that the angels and devils have been at war for thousands of years. You'll saw your way through hordes of devils, but the only angel you'll meet or even hear specific mention of is your deceased mother, Eva.
• Don't Explain the Joke: After an instance of Limbo really messing with you by repeatedly lengthening a bottomless room of a church you're trying to escape from, which you escape using your grappling hook weapon...

—>Dante: Well that just seemed to drag on forever. *Beat* Church.

• Dual Wielding: Aquila, which is two giant shuriken.
• Hard Levels, Easy Bosses: Is considered this.
• Empathic Environment: Limbo, which will actively try to kill by changing the terrain around you, verbally threaten you, and occasionally exclaim "NO" if you make unexpected amounts of progress.

—>writing on the wall: (after you win a fight) FUCK YOU DANTE *bits of environment turn into animated weapons*

• Fan Disservice: You were expecting the much-hyped succubus to be some kind of tantalizing beauty? No. Just... no◊.
  • Mundus'... girlfriend from the same game, as well, especially once she ditches her wig. Oh, and it gets worse; you fight her as a boss while she uses her unborn child as a golem/shield, while the background music screams "Hey! You! What the fuck is wrong with you!?"
• Genre Savvy: Mundus, in Dm C. During the introductory cutscene, he suddenly cuts off his revelling at the prospect of owning the entire world, concerned about a "loose end": Dante, the only living Nephilim, the only race potentially capable of killing Mundus. So he sends in a hunter demon, which messes with Dante's life for a bit and ensures that mission 1 has a boss fight in it.
• Get Back Here Boss: Inverted by Poison and Mundus in Dm C; you're expected to move between platforms during the fight, causing them to chase you. Poison will retaliate by destroying said secondary platforms.
• Hybrid Power: Has a better example with Dante who is half-demon and half-angel, and thus has access to weapons with both demonic and angelic power.
• Incredibly Lame Pun: Dm C Dante is made of these.

—>Dante: (after a boss gets churned to death in a mixer) "I think you're all mixed up."

• Invisible To Normals: Limbo. Those of inhuman origins can get dragged in, and Mediums can see it (albeit somewhat blearily), but to everyone else in the world, stuff that happens in Limbo might as well not happen. Except when it involves Ferris wheels or newscasters.
• I Will Find You: Mundus to Vergil, via e-mail in Dm C.
• Mundane Made Awesome: Getting dressed. It involves high velocity, destruction, and censorship by flying pizza.
• Pre-Mortem One-Liner: Dante all over the place in Dm C.

—>Dante: (to a boss who's clinging for her life to a stone pillar) You know what your problem is? You're too... clingy!

• Rule of Symbolism: When in Limbo, most of the real world is hard to see through all of the fog and twisted landscape. What's left that's easy to see? Gambling machines and carnival rides. Apparently your addictions really will follow you into hell.
• Take That, Audience!: The boss fight against a mother and her unborn(?) child in Dm C. The background music constantly repeats the line, "Hey! You! What the fuck is wrong with you!"
• What Measure is a Non-Human?: This question is the primary difference in motivation between Dante and Vergil in Dm C.
• When All You Have Is a Hammer: When all you have for platforming is a medium-range grappling hook and a double-jump, if you're stuck, there's a good chance that you just need to look up.
• Wrong Genre Savvy: Dante gets a moment of this. Stuck in Limbo, he tries to make the best of a panicked, helpless Kat by giving her step-by-step instructions on how to peacefully surrender to a SWAT team so that they at least don't shoot her. Then they bust through the door and shoot her.
• You Will Not Evade Me: The Devil Pull and Angelic Lift skills, which bring enemies to you and you to enemies, respectively. You can accompany these skills with a kick or an uppercut if your timing is right.
• You Remind Me of X: Phineas notes that Dante isn't just like Sparda; he also bears resemblance to his mother, Eva.

Devil May Cry itself needs to be re-organized; tropes that appear in multiple games should be in their own folder, while tropes specific to certain games need to be folderized on their own. Please take care of that, and when the DMC-specific tropes are collected, LMK and I'll take care of moving them over.

Went for a Wiki Walk and I discovered Green Eyes wasn't listed on Locked Pages.

Great Wyrm Gold needs to be moved to Great Wyrm Gold.

"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman

For Monster.Anime And Manga

• Inu Yasha has Naraku, the Big Bad of the series. He is responsible for nearly every atrocity in the series. He is a half demon who wishes to become a full demon by using the sacred Shikon Jewel. How does he want to go about doing this? By messing up the lives of every single one of the main cast's lives because he can. He was responsible for Miroku's Wind Tunnel curse, Sango's brother becoming Brainwashed and Crazy, reviving a group of serial killers to slaughter his enemies, and sending his minions to kill villagers to lure the protagonists to him. He's a mastermind at manipulating others to do his bidding and he's killed Kikyo numerous times because he wants to remove the only side of him that could possibly be redeemable. If that wasn't bad enough, he essentially was responsible for Kikyo and Inuyasha's falling out and killed a huge margin of Koga's wolf clan. He's also not above killing his minions if they choose to disobey him and killing innocents if they even so much as become inconvenient to him.

For Let's Play: Black & White should be namespaced

I now go by Graf von Tirol.

DTH except for the DMC Devil May Cry edit. I'm waiting on the staff to give me a reason to put on Green Eyes on Locked Pages...if anyone's got a suggestion, I'm all fingers.

Final Fantasy VII needs some Badass Longhair examples deleted. The trope was disambiguated, and none of the examples is good.

"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman

Done.

The Vampire Diaries The Originals also has Badass Longhair examples that need to be deleted due to lack of useful context.

The Bible also has a Badass Longhair example that needs to be shifted to the discussion, since it might have a trope for it.

"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman

Removed and moved to discussion page, respectively.

On the Übermensch page:

• Sonic the Hedgehog. It is made clear in Sonic and the Black Knight that he doesn't care whether he's considered the hero or the villain; he always does whatever he feels should be done. And although he does show genuine concern in helping others and his friends, he primarily goes up against Eggman for the fun of it.

Please help out our The History Of Video Games page.

For Übermensch

• Sonic the Hedgehog is another heroic example. A number of his Image Songs and Sonic and the Black Knight make references to how he doesn't care about what's right or wrong and will always fight for what he believes in.
