- 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.

- 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.

Metal Gear, Dragon Quest, and The Elder Scrolls were all cut by someone who made the decision on their own against the cleanup effort's opinions and pretty might lied about it being merged with the main page. Can we get those pages restored ASAP? There are still several links pointing to them and we still have a need for them.

When the King forms a close bond with a blind girl named Komugi, Shaiapouf forms a deep loatihng for her and admits he would abandon his respect for the King should he turn from the path Shaiapouf wants.

Eddie will restore those cut pages tomorrow.
When he does, please replace Volgin and Wiseman's entries with:
- Metal Gear Ac!d 2 has Wiseman. He instigated a horrific event known as the Praulia Massacre: Wiseman felt that the data about the Model 2 soldiers was insufficient, so he had technicians provoke said soldiers into going berserk, causing the deaths of 10,000 people. He then sent the Model 3 soldiers in to eliminate the Model 2 soldiers, knowing that eliminating their brethren hurt them. Besides this, Wiseman was also responsible for the death of Koppelthorne's wife, which also resulted in the events of what happened later on. In addition, he had Venus render Snake amnesiac in to help him obtain the Lucinda File with the evidence of the massacre, and had Venus execute him simply because he outlived his usefulness.

"Adventure-Friendly World: As a world building trope, the real world doesn't apply as it has no creator."
The above entry is in bad taste and assumes that everyone is an atheist and the last part of the description should probably be changed to 'as the wiki assumes it has no creator.'

Declined. We are talking about creation from a narrative perspective. Whether the world has a Creator in a religious sense is beyond the scope of the wiki.

Please delete the Shadow Queen from Monster.Video Games and Novels.

I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.@8133: When did we agree to move Barty to the film page.
Not move; copy. Similar to having the Transformers baddie also on the film page.
CM Dates; CM Pending; CM DraftsOn DarthWiki.Fallen Creator, please namespace Arthur And The Invisibles and The Big Blue to Film/.
Copying over examples seems to be missing the point of having separate pages in the first place. So I am going to request the duplicates be deleted instead, rather than more be made.
On the Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil trope, can we add another example from Nippon Ichi's game Witch and the Hundred Knight specifically Totopepe raping Visco's sister and then killing her all so he could allow himself to be added to the "royal bloodline".
On Naruto, I'd like a character section to be created for Rin Nohara. Under said section:
- Base Breaker: Rin's heroic sacrifice, wherein she jumped in the way of Kakashi's Raikiri attack: the right thing to do in order to save Konoha, or grabbing the Idiot Ball and making a stupid, Senseless Sacrifice? Then there's the issue of her death being the entire reason for Obito's FaceāHeel Turn, and the rest is history.
- What An Idiot: Rin's decision to jump in the way of Kakashi's attack, so she wouldn't need to worry about unleashing the Sanbi in Konoha, instead of listening to Kakashi. To elaborate, Kakashi refused to kill her when she asked him to do so, and and added that there must be another way.
