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.

Sometime this week (maybe as soon as tomorrow night; HOPEFULLY no later than this weekend) I'll go through the Monster requests and see what still needs to be done. But HERE'S one.

CM Dates; CM Pending; CM DraftsPlease add this writeup on Tirac to Monster.Western Animation under the films folder [1].
edited 14th Apr '14 12:47:41 PM by AustinDR
On FiveManBand.Western Animation A-M, please namespace The Lampies to WesternAnimation/.
(The page doesn't exist yet, but the page in Main/ is going to be cutlisted for being too much of a stub, so this will be a red link anyway.)
Adolf Hitler and The Vampire Diaries Book Characters each have a wick pointing to Big, Badass Wolf, which has been turned into the Wolf Tropes index. Please remove both of them.

8052 - 8054: Done.
8055: The latter link is removed. The former, I moved the entry to the discussion page because the content seems like it could work under a different trope.
7931: Mostly done. I didn't find Papa Lazarou on Monster.Live Action TV. The NCIS example is for NCIS Los Angeles, unless that character crossed over...references to him I've found are for the latter show, so that's where I linked it. Also, the Kore entry still has some grammar issues and problems with run-on sentences, so that's not done. The rest is done.
7932 - 7935: Done.
7936: Not done due to the issues Fighteer brought up.
7938: Already done.
7939 - 7941: Done.
7942: I'm checking on that one...might get done, might not.
7943 - 7945: Done.
7946: Already done.
7947: Done.
7948: Already done.
7949, 7952, 7954: Done.
I'll do more as I get time.
Cheers willbyr!
Together, we are one.Willbyr. And actually, please hold off on the Marvel Sandbox. One more edit, then I'll do a runthrough of it, and then it can be swapped with what's there without any more edits

CM Dates; CM Pending; CM DraftsInheritance Cycle needs Unspoken Plan renamed to Unspoken Plan Guarantee.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanIn the No Lewdness No Prudishness article I'd like to edit the following sentence:
"Sex exists. It's used in media a lot. You'll just need to cope with that fact. Relationships, fanservice, and sexual activity all fall into their own tropes as a result."
Instead of "sex exists" we should change it to Sex Sells, or at least mention it "Sex exists - Sex Sells."
"Freedom is not a license for chaos" -Norton Juster's The Dot and the Line: A Romance in Lower MathematicsAlright, I just scanned, and I THINK these are all the Monster entries not done yet (also, this is mainly to help myself so when they're done I can go through the YMMVs:
- 8078
- BTW, what's wrong with Kore's entry?

CM Dates; CM Pending; CM DraftsAdolf Hitler is being moved to UsefulNotes.Adolf Hitler, as per this TRS thread. Could the Main/ page please be turned into a redirect to preserve inbounds?
This is for the Double Standard Rape: Female on Male page, under the Live-Action TV, for the entry on Series/Shameless (near the bottom). The addition is an even better example the first one because it emphasizes the trope as part of an ongoing storyline rather than as a one-off. Thanks!
- Again in the case of Mickey in seasons 3 and 4, whose violently homophobic father Terry catches him having sex with his boyfriend Ian. He brutally beats them both and then holds them at gunpoint while he calls in a prostitute to "Fuck the queer out of" him as Ian is forced to watch. The prostitute, Svetlana, becomes pregnant, supposedly by Mickey, and he is compelled to marry her by Terry. This causes him and Ian to break up and leaves Mickey trapped in a marriage with a woman he is not attracted to and despises. Nobody really treats this as rape however, and even Mickey's sister Mandy is angry with him when he refuses to go to the hospital to be with Svetlana when she gives birth, especially when he says it's not his fault she got pregnant in the first place. Svetlana is also furious that Mickey refuses to be a devoted husband and father, and that he resumes his relationship with Ian instead of focusing on her and the baby.
Another possible one for the "Rape:female on male" page, possible work addition.
The Emergency! fic "A Woman Scorned" doesn't have actual physical rape, but the attack is sexual in nature: Gage is attacked by a psycho woman who hits him with a tire iron, then steals his clothes, leaving him stranded naked in the woods. In one scene, Dixie catches some young nurses watching the story on the news on a TV at the hospital,giggling about it. She promptly admomishes them for making fun of the incident, as no one would be laughing if a woman were attacked and left somewher naked.
I'm not positive it fits, but I am about 90% there.
Fly High, Seek PeacePlease edit all Made Of Win archives to namespace all the works listed there. It's annoying to have locked pages being the only one listed for a Main/ redirect (i.e. Main.Eighth Doctor Adventures)
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.Archives are never edited except for a handful of reasons, and namespacing is not one of them.
Maybe the Archive/ namespace can be excluded from the "related to" page like Tropers/ is.
Interesting idea...I'll mention it to Eddie.
I'll give a support for the "No Related To/ listing for Archive/" proposal.
Also, for Adolf Hitler, Adolf Hitler Discussion needs to be moved as well.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanCharacters.The Vampire Diaries Book Characters needs Hot Dad removed, since it has not enough context.
Characters.Teen Wolf also needs Hot Dad removed, since none of the entries is good.
Locked Pages needs the commented-out reference changed so that it no longer mentions the autolocker.

"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanThe thing about the archive pages, though, is that they're not in an Archive/ namespace, or at least the ones with the most now outdated wicks (be they renamed tropes, namespace redirects, deleted articles, PRLC members...) aren't in an Archive/ namespace. The Made of Win archives are in Main/, and some of the Headscratchers pages that had to be archived before they got too large are in Headscratchers/. They have the word "Archive" in their titles, but as near as I can tell, they're not in an Archive/ namespace.
If they were, I'd agree with their being excluded from wick counts.
That can be easily remedied with a namespace move. I did propose such but there was not much interest.
