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.

The Base Breaker page needs to be rewritten at least that paragraph "To put in trope-speak, The Scrappy meets Ensemble Dark Horse by way of Broken Base."

It contributes to the massive misuse that Ensemble Dark Horse sees. Ensemble Dark Horse doesn't mean "popular character" but "surprisingly popular minor character". The subtlety is that a main character can be an scrappy or a Base Breaker but can't be an Ensemble Dark Horse.

When you've got the time, it'd be great if you could add this line to the page for Fifty Shades of Grey.

  • You Keep Using That Word: Anastasia keeps mentioning that her subconscious is yelling at her, reminding her of something, or something else in that vein. By definition, it's impossible to feel what's going on in your subconscious.

Regarding the YMMV.Naruto page:

Request to edit Karin's portion regarding the accusations of rape. Said accusations are due to a mistranslation that was spread by anti-Karin and anti-Sasu Karin fans (every native speaker I've asked has said that her line more properly translates to seduce, make a move, or something to the effect of "if I turn up the sex appeal now, he won't know what hit him!" and I've asked a lot of native speakers. It also doesn't fit in with her characterization pattern); what I would like is to see the lines about this changed to "false allegations of rape" or something to that effect (if you want to add something about shippers spreading that rumor, be my guest). Similarly, she never planned to drug him or the others; the bottle in her hand was perfume (given that she was spraying it on herself, that the kanji for perfume is in her name, and that the databooks list her favorite hobby as collecting perfume, this is pretty obvious). I understand why it was written, as the shippers that spread those rumors did a very good job of it and managed to convince some three quarters of the fandom, but it remains that the allegations are false.

Also requesting a removal of the lines about her liking Naruto now, because they're... honestly baseless? There's absolutely nothing in the manga that even implies that, mistranslated or otherwise.

Anything else I disagree with falls under actual YMMV-ness, but there are errors in fact that do need to be rectified.

The lines I wish to see changed:

  • And now that she has taken a shining to Naruto as well, NaruSaku fans have also joined the ranks of the Karin haters.
  • Never Live It Down: She once planned to drug Suigetsu and Juugo in order to rape a weakened Sasuke. Thus, for a big fraction of the fandom especially the SasuSaku shippers, she still remains "the whore who tried to rape Sasuke".
  • The Scrappy
    • Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: Partially. Used to be one of the most hated characters in the manga but her being so badly hurt by Sasuke and her warning Sakura about Sasuke intending to kill her made her strangely turn into a Jerk Ass Woobie for a good fraction of the fandom. But now stuffed back into the heap because she now likes Naruto, which, for many fans especially shippers, puts her right back in the "whore" category. Note she doesn't really display any remote sentimental feeling, only a vague interest, and just acknowledges that his chakra is warmer and lighter than Sasuke's.
  • Slut-Shaming: Another meta example. Die for Our Ship aside, the main reason why fans hate her is because she did intend to rape Sasuke and that she's indeed very lascivious around him, much more than Sakura or Ino ever were. Her open sexual advances, which are taken Up To Eleven in the anime, frequently elicit this trope in fan fora.

Would like to see them changed to: (would actually like the first to be deleted)

  • Never Live It Down: The supposed rape that she planned, which was actually the result of a mistranslation. Nonetheless, the allegations are still being brought up years afterwards.
    • Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: Partially. Used to be one of the most hated characters in the manga but her being so badly hurt by Sasuke and her warning Sakura about Sasuke intending to kill her made her strangely turn into a Jerk Ass Woobie for a good fraction of the fandom. But now stuffed back into the heap because she accepted Sasuke's apology, and in many eyes, too easily.
  • Slut-Shaming: Another meta example. Die for Our Ship aside, the main reason why fans hate her is because she allegedly intended to rape Sasuke, and that, being older, she's more mature in her flirting with Sasuke, much more than Sakura or Ino ever were, who were twelve when they were crushing. Her more open sexual advances, which are taken Up To Eleven in the anime, frequently elicit this trope in fan fora.

On Monster.Kamen Rider, please add Colonel Zol from Kamen Rider and N-Daguva-Zeba from Kamen Rider Kuuga. They got enough votes from the clean-up thread and the entries have been approved. Here are the entries to be inducted:

Kamen Rider

  • There’s a reason why Colonel Bakarashin Iinodevitch Zol continues to be the franchise’s definitive monster to this day. After serving as a Nazi officer in World War II, Zol joins Shocker where he gains a reputation for wreaking havoc in the Middle East. He quickly lives up to this reputation when he’s transferred to Japan to deal with Kamen Rider Nigo. He fails to show any sense of shame for his crimes, ranging from brainwashing children into becoming Shocker guerilla soldiers to using Wolfsbane to gas attack Goro’s town. Colonel Zol is also a horrible boss to his men. Case in point: Zol praises a revived Egyptus, a mummy kaijin that can incinerate victims, for testing his abilities on (and ultimately killing) one of his mooks. The sequel series Kamen Rider V3 only adds to his crimes. Together with Doctor G, a revived Zol plans to initiate Operation: Japan Annilhilation, which involves unleashing a toxic gas in Hokkaido to kill innocents. Zol also does not care about fellow Shocker and Destron officers at all, as seen when he tries to have fellow Destron officer Ambassador Hell executed for failing to defeat Kamen Rider V3.

Kamen Rider Kuuga

  • N-Daguva-Zeba is the lord of the Gurongi and the Ur-CM of the Heisei era. An Ax-Crazy Blood Knight who absolutely despises the lowly and weak, Daguva doesn’t care about any human or Gurongi lives and is willing to use any means necessary to make humanity as violent and hateful as he. Upon being reawaked from Kuuga’s sarcophagus, he releases the 200 Gurongi and murders the archaeologists, thereby kicking off the series. After his escape, he restarts the Gegeru, a game where Gurongi hunt humans with set rules based on their tribe's social status, and kills 152 of his own kind in Nagano. He then reveals himself to the public by killing Zu-Gooma-Gu for using his armor before resurfacing under the guise of a white-suited teenager with an aura as he unleashes heavy rain in Japan. After Yusuke Godai (Kamen Rider Kuuga) defeats Gadoru, Daguva ambushes Yusuke, mercilessly beats him up, and incinerates numerous people in his wake as he leaves Yusuke behind. After continuing his systematic genocide, he meets Yusuke in Mount Kuro where they have their final fight. There, Daguva finally dies, laughing to the very end hoping that Yusuke would be corrupted by violent hatred.

Please add this to the Video Game Monster page:

The Witchs House:Ellen killed her parents and burned their house down at the age of seven. Ellen later went on to kill many people and sacrifice their souls to a demon in exchange for a way to prolong her life long enough for her to find a cure for her illness. Upon learning of a spell that would allow her to switch bodes with a healthy person she falsely befriended a young girl named Viola. Before swapping bodies with Viola, Ellen cut off her own legs and gouged out her own eyes so that after the switch, Viola would suffer and die in Ellen's maimed body. Ellen then force fed Viola a burning medicine that fried her throat and left her mute simply because her screams of agony annoyed her. Ellen then taunted the now blind, mute, and crippled Viola, and tricked Viola's father into shooting his own daughter dead, laughing cruelly afterward.

Please add this approved entry to Monster.Film F To O:

  • Megan Is Missing: Josh is a disturbingly brutal example of an online predator. Josh masks himself as a charming individual who meets the titular Megan online. Exploiting her desire to be loved, Josh convinces Megan to see him behind a diner. When she goes missing, her friend Amy decides to prop further into it, even after Josh directly threatens her. Josh ends up kidnapping Amy from under a bridge, tossing away her camera, and taking her to his cellar where the extent of his horrible deeds is revealed. Josh force-feeds Amy dog food, viciously rapes her, then shoves Amy into a barrel with Megan's rotting corpse, who he tortured to death, and buries her alive in the middle of a forest. He ends up getting away with all this, scot-free. Josh is a twisted excuse for a human being who represents the dangers of meeting people online clocked Up To Eleven.

[up] Exceptions are, as near as I can gather, permitted to that rule for works without enough examples (at least three distinct examples) to merit their own Moments of Awesome/Funny/Heartwarming or similar subpages. There are numerous YMMV pages for works with entries for those tropes. Most other Sugar Wiki pages, though, are indeed restricted to, well, Sugar Wiki.

I've set up sandboxes for Rape Discretion Shot (here) and Sex Slave (here). Both sandboxes namespace and alphabetize all entries, so I'd like the contents of both pages replaced with that of the sandboxes.

Please remove the following from Wick Namespace Migration: Black Lagoon, Blackpool, BLOODCRUSHER II, The Book of Stories OCT, The Breach, The Bright in the Screen

I still really do think we should have some sort of whitelist system in place to prevent more incidents like what happened to the latter.

I did some further cleaning on the first sandbox - primarily the Example Indentation. Also, I wonder if the works which don't have a page yet and aren't Content Policy banned like Sensitive Pornograph should get redlinks.
