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.

Hi
Actually, you can remove The Greatest Show On Earth from Work Pages In Main; it has now taken up residence on Film.The Greatest Show On Earth, and all wicks have been moved.

Can 07-Ghost Abridged be removed from Work Pages In Main?
Macron's notes
Lizzid people!
I would like this rewrite of Tatsuya Ishida to be added to the Fallen Creator article under a webcomic and web original folder. It should go as follows:
- At first, Tatsuya Ishida of Sinfest fame, was praised for never taking part in political debates, and that he often used his characters as representatives of bigger ideas and, at the same time, never making them hypocritical or straw-men. However, around 2008, he started to use propaganda in his webcomic, and it would inevitably lead to the pro-feminist movement and the introduction of the infamous male-hating group the Sisterhood. When they arrived to the webcomic, their arc completely took the spotlight off of the webcomic's chief characters, and ultimately changed the tone of the webcomic from daily comedy, to an Anvilicious Author Tract.

"In distress", my ass.
Please add the following entry to No Real Life Examples, Please!, as per "Real Life section maintenance" thread on Long Term Projects forum:
* InformedLoner: As written the trope requires narrative intent, which doesn't exist in real life.

@7784: Actually, don't worry about Parlamentet or Vib Ribbon - the former is now at Series.Parlamentet (all wicks but one moved, and that one is a ghost), the latter is now at VideoGame.Vib Ribbon (all wicks moved).
On Webcomic.The Easy Breather, please change "{{Self-Disposing Villain}}" to "SelfDisposingVillain".
On Hyphenated Titles:
Please remove Post-Grunge (in the Tropes section).
Please add in the Recap section:
- Recap.Mr Bogus S3 E2 B-TV (including its subpages)

Spiritual Licensee needs Beauty And The Beast namespaced to Disney/
More additions for Work Pages In Main:
- Clan BOB (as a website)
- The Pizza Cats Pantomime
- There Is No Death
- The Thorn Birds
- The Ultimate Fighter
The Locked Pages page itself needs a description for its Confirmed YKTS entry, because it can't be called a "page explaining a policy" by any sincere means.
Simply saying "it's an old discussion archive" could probably do.
Edit: also, on the Confirmed YKTS page, the Insektors entry has a formatting error.

"And as long as a sack of shit is not a good thing to be, chivalry will never die."
That page is an archive. It doesn't belong into the policy pages section, though.

In uffish thought
DTH.
On Locked Pages, I replaced Confirmed YKTS with a note in the "other" section about archived pages.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
Work Pages In Main needs some more additions:
- Den
- Three Diligence
- I Feel Sick
- Itsuki No Kimi E
- Matthew Hawkwood
- The Spellcasting Series
- Twinkle Twinkle
Creator Pages In Main needs Richard Corben removed.
Also, would it be reasonable to replace Search Wiki's content with "This function is no longer in use. Please use the Google custom search at the top of each page."?

Search Wiki has apparently been cut...but it says there's a page called "Search Wiki"...but that just loops back to that page.
Check out the source ... it was once a search function.

Officially intimidated
On Fallen Creator, there are nine uses of the word "arguably":
- "Peter Sellers himself was this for a time. In 1964, he was arguably the most acclaimed comic actor in the world". Please change the last part to "he was an acclaimed comic actor".
- "Molly Ringwald was arguably the queen of coming of age high school/teen films in the 1980s with Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink". Please change the first part to "Molly Ringwald was succesful with coming of age high school/teen films".
- "Vincent Gallo is an arguable example". Just eliminate the "is an arguable example". If the entry is there, it's because it must fit the article's definition.
- The very last example of the Film folder is about Meg Ryan. It's very lengthy, but a part of it says "Ryan's arguably ill-advised cosmetic procedures (which further diminished her girl next door appeal) also served as a major blow to her career". Please eliminate the "arguably" part.
- "The four members of The Beatles arguably didn't fall as far as some of the others on this list, but common consensus is that they never really hit the same heights in their solo careers as that they did in a group". Please change to "Common consensus is that The Beatles never really hit the same heights in their solo careers as that they did in a group".
- On the Coolio example, there's this line: "Arguably, the start of Coolio's "fall" was his feud with "Weird Al" Yankovic over Al's spoof song of "Gangsta's Paradise" called "Amish Paradise"". Please eliminate the word "arguably".
- The Master P example ends like this: "Arguably, Master P's involvement with World Championship Wrestling and the rise of the more polished Cash Money label put a damper on his sales". Please eliminate the word "arguably".
- On the Free Space example, there's this line: "The mediocre sales of the series arguably killed the space sim market built by the Wing Commander and X-Wing series". Please eliminate the word "arguably".
- "David Crane was arguably the first game developer to become a household name — or at least the first that anybody outside the hardcore gaming community had heard of -". Please change to "David Crane was one of the first game developers to become a household name".
