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.

Complete Monster has a link to Monster.Parlor Games, which has one non example.

So it's on the Cut List? Let me know if the cut actually happens.

Okay. The last cut was declined for no reason last time though.
Lost in Space
That's my point - I'm not going to de-index it if the cut is declined.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
Okay. Also, what is the proper way to write a trope namer section for a page? I wanted to know for Something Awful.

!! This [work|website|...] is the Trope Namer for:
!! This [work|website|...] contains the following tropes:
Or a reasonable facsimile thereof.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
Prince of Persia movie page.
Move Mythology Gag to the Trivia page.
Alright, how is this?
This website is the Trope Namer for:
Also, that subpage of Complete Monster got cut. Also, would you prefer us to do not a wiki word for what we want added in?

What you did is exactly right - I can edit your post and cut & paste the markup. Also I made the edit to Complete Monster.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
Okay, I had thought of that also. Thanks for that.

Witty caption idea for Just A Face And A Caption:
[[caption-widtrh-right:206:We have no idea who this is, but [[FanMyopia trust us]], she's the [[{{Irony}} perfect example]] of [[SelfDemonstratingArticle this trope]].]]
An Ear Worm is like a Rickroll: It is never going to give you up.
I've been Bluelinked
Hm?
Sarcasm Mode would be a more appropriate pothole in place of Irony, but the rest is good.
“Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?”

Griefer page:
Add a reference to the newly created trope Team Killer, as team-killing is one of the most common forms of griefing.
One possible way to do this: "...on your favorite online game. Everyone in your party is pulling their weight and gaining lots of items and gold. What Could Possibly Go Wrong?...wait, what's that sound? You suddenly hear a high level spell being used and before you can turn around and blink, you and your friends are dead."
Right now, the marked section links to Dropped a Bridge on Him, which isn't really relevant.

I reject your requirement for a witty statement or fanboyish squealing in my signature.

Edited Griefer as requested. For Just A Face And A Caption, please start an Image Pickin' thread.

Why is there a Real Life section of Asshole Victim?

Lost in Space
Dunno, but I killed it. Incidentally, I locked the page today due to edit warring.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
I knew that, that's why I went here. Also, in the future, could we re add Real Life examples if someone said the person they killed was an Asshole?
Lost in Space
Er... no? I'm not entirely sure what you're getting at but just because someone says their victim is an asshole, it doesn't make it true or narratively relevant.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
Okay. I meant when someone's justification for killing someone else is saying that they were an ass. That seems like a good idea for a new trope.
I need an edit on Asshole Victim. The Rivers Of London example needs changed due to the sequel book backtracking on events.
current:
- The unnamed rapist who tries to take advantage of Moe maid Molly in Rivers Of London, he finds out she is a Cute Monster Girl with a Vagina Dentata. DC Grant doesn't expend too much effort trying to confirm her involvement in the case.
to:
- The unnamed rapist at the end of Rivers Of London who discovered his intended victim had a bad case of Vagina Dentata.
- In the sequel Moon Over Soho the woman, who is now known as "The Pale Lady" racks up another three victims. All of whom were sexual deviants of one kind or another (including a corrupt ex-police officer with a taste for real Catgirls).

I unlocked the page after banning the perpetrators of the edit war. Go ahead and do that yourself.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
Wouldn't Sandbox Editing be much more viable instead of this thread?
Changed the link; please check to make sure I got it right. I wonder if there's even the slightest chance of getting that article trimmed of all its YMMV stuff. /sigh
