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.

Let's Play has been unlocked, so it needs to be culled from Locked Pages.

That's hopefully my last request for today.

Change Laconic.Fast Eddie to this:

Thumped: for switching the discussion from the topic to a person. Doesn't take many of this kind of thump to bring a suspension. Stay on the topic, not the people in the discussion.

A bump about post 6175 on page 247, it was at the bottom so it appears to have been missed :)

Please add the following to No Real Life Examples Please:

* BastardUnderstudy: Implying that two people are evil.

* OpinionMyopia: Off-mission for the wiki, and unlike the fictional sections prone to FlameBait issues.

^^ Not to get into a discussion about it (this isn't the place), but RL sections taking up the majority of a page qualifies as "problem", and RL examples are only allowed on sufferance until they become a problem.

6173, 6175, 6178 - 6180, 6182, 6183, 6186, 6187, 6190, 6196, 6198, 6209, 6210: Done.

6171: I moved the entire entry to the discussion page.

6174: Done, although I really question the point of an entry that's almost completely spoilered.

6176: I took it out of the Other section since the entry in Works has the reason.

6177: Done, with some tweaks to the bulleting of the Vampire Bund entry.

6181: Done, with one tweak - I took out the Nightmare Fuel pothole.

6185: Eddie's going to do some work on that, so I'm leaving it be for now.

6188: I updated the redirects for the blue links in your post. The red links, when I click on the "edit article" in the history, redirect me to Headscratchers.Home Page, so I'm assuming that those are good as is.

6189: I added that entry and Fighteer unlocked the article earlier today.

6191: Done; I noted in the edit reason that if any of his characters qualify for Mystical White Hair, they need to be added under that trope.

6193: Changed the Job one to Serial Escalation and the Solomon one to Exaggerated Trope per Pantice's suggestion.

6194: I see that's already been done.

6197: I just took out the Lucien entry from Fable II; I'm assuming the other two are from that game and staying, so I sub-bulleted them to the game title.

6204: What's being changed? The only difference I see is the double size reduce and that ain't happening.

I hadn't realised that the character sheet for Final Fantasy VII was locked (in retrospect, it makes sense, given what the fandom can be like). Anyway, given that in real life he'd probably be medicated, would it be possible to add this under Cloud's entry?

  • The Mentally Ill: Cloud's an emotionally fragile young man who remembers things that never happened, suffers from bouts of depression, has a history of shutting down when life becomes too much to handle, and has serious problems with acknowledging his own self-worth. In spite of this, he soldiers on, and manages to overcome or mitigate many of these issues.

Keep in mind, I'm not saying this as an insult. I think that Cloud's a remarkably positive portrayal of a mentally ill person, and that (given the number of people being treated for depression and various other mental illnesses) we need more of those.

Thanks Willbyr :)

EDIT: I'd forgotten how literal this is [lol]

Evon: Needs a "Complete Monster:" added before.

And the WHOLE Homestuck entry should be: [down]

  • From Homestuck: Caliborn, better known by his title, Lord English, killed his own sister through proxy, enslaved the Handmaid after his awakening, murdered the author out of spite in-story, and permanently killed hundreds of largely harmless doomed timeline characters''. And that's worse is that he essentially has no real motivation to do what he does. Power? He's already got plenty of that. Galactic domination? He'd rather destroy it all himself. If what's been said about him indicates anything, it's that he's just doing it to amuse himself, and to completely obliterate his sister and all that she loved.
    • The apple didn't fall far from the tree, apparently. Caliborn's ancestor destroyed hundreds of planets and killed millions unprovoked - and, like his son, for his own amusement. The cherry on top is that if Aranea's narration is to be believed, Caliborn is even worse.

[up][up]I don't know what it is; something's weird when I try EI here... Maybe try: From ''Homestuck we have Caliborn, better known by his title, Lord English. He killed his own sister through proxy, enslaved the Handmaid after his awakening, murdered the author out of spite in-story, and permanently killed hundreds of largely harmless doomed timeline characters. And that's worse is that he essentially has no real motivation to do what he does. Power? He's already got plenty of that. Galactic domination? He'd rather destroy it all himself.

  • The apple...

Also, for Order Of The Stick, please add a (pictured) after Xykon.

6216: Done, although the link is actually to The Mentally Disturbed.

6217: Done.

6218, 6221: Since there appear to be two separate characters listed for the Homestuck entry, I've got them sub-bulleted under the title...although I did see that I forgot to close the italics code around the title. I also didn't see the point in bolding Caliborn's name or title. Is the second entry supposed to be a sub-bullet of the first?

6220: The only page of those that needed to be cleaned was the last one; it's done now.
