Locked Pages: Lock, Un Lock and Edit requests

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.

A few miscellaneous edit requests:

Big Bra to Fill needs the Barb Wire entry "averted" replaced with "inverted", as per the discussion page. Also, Jennifer Carpenter needs to be namespaced to Creator/ per ~Witch Hunter Robin's edit request (which was misplaced to the discussion page).

The Boondocks needs the The Boondocks link replaced to one to https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/crowner.php/BestEpisode/TheBoondocks, again per discussion page request.

Also, I've written up Horny Devils 2 as a namespaced and alphabetized version of Horny Devils. And don't worry about the redlinks; none of them are 5P-cut works or otherwise of concern to the content policy, as I found out during Google searches. I'd like the sandbox swapped in.

Permanent Red Link Club needs a rewrite in the "Cut then recreated" section to account for the removal of autolocking (I guess something like this: "This lead temporarily to the installation of a system that automatically locked cut pages.").

Also, that page needs the following two items added, the first to "Cut then recreated" the second to "Unsorted/Other":

From Breakout To Scrappy: Complaining page, was recreated after cut.
BerserkButton.Ed Edd N Eddy: All trope examples were misuse, but kept being readded after removal.

Make these changes to Administrivia.Wick Namespace Migration (these are on different lines, they do not directly follow on from each other unless there is no white space between them):

In Complex Pages

* '''[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/Daredevil Daredevil]]''' - [=ComicBook/=] or Film/ (Main/ is a disambiguation page)

In addition, check links on [=Main/TheRing=] for confusion with the tropes Artifact of Doom (for the one from The Lord Of The Rings and others like it) and Ring of Power (for magic rings in general).

Move this one to A or C depending on the rules (delete To Aru Majutsu No Index from the list, since we are phasing out Japanese names for works which have an English officially translated title):

Back to the S-Z section:

Remove Tortall Universe as it is now completed and the weird redirect (which went from Literature/{{Tortall}} to Main/{{Tortall}} to Literature/TortallUniverse has been altered so Literature/{{Tortall}} points directly at Literature/TortallUniverse)

Grammar related tweak to Fan Works. Please replace the There Will Be Brawl entry with:

There Will Be Brawl: Kirby is nowhere close to the cute little marshmallow you grew up with. He is an outright cannibalisitic serial killer who takes delight in torturing and gruesomely murdering his victims. He destroyed his own homeland, and is responsible for almost everything that goes wrong in the Mushroom Kingdom. He killed many of the main characters, most of them being the few innocents left in this world, very gruesomely. He takes great pleasure in ruining Luigi's life, and killed the two women he loved the most. He also likes to torment his victims with their past. His motive is sheer sadism.

Also, please lock Archie Comics Sonic The Hedgehog (and use that link on Comic Books) and then Sonic The Hedgehog Comics can be cutlisted.
