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.

Australian English and Australian Accent can be removed from Useful Notes Pages In Main. Also, this can be added to Wick Namespace Migration:

please remove these from Administrivia.Hyphenated Titles, as they have now been moved off hyphen and the hyphenated versions turned into redirects:

Please remove these pages from Administrivia.Useful Notes Pages In Main as they are trivia:

WorkPagesInMain.S To U can get all the U entries save Usles, Unicron Trilogy, The Unfinished Spelling Errors Of Bolkien, University Challenge, Unnatural History and Usenet removed.

Also, UEFA Champions League needs to be added to the Useful Notes Pages In Main page.

A mistake I have probably made in my request for Administrivia.Wick Namespace Migration:

* '''[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Manga/GreatTeacherOnizuka''' Great Teacher Onizuka]] - Manga/

should be:

* '''[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Manga/GreatTeacherOnizuka Great Teacher Onizuka]]''' - Manga/

[up][up]Done. Also, University Challenge got moved as you were typing, so I've removed it as well, and I've moved UEFA Champions League so it doesn't need adding to that page.

[up]Done.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Well, I was just going to request that University Challenge also be removed from Works Pages in Main, but clearly you're one step ahead of me. (The wicks have been changed as well.) Thanks Telcontar!

Since referencing the page quote or image is discouraged would you like me to give a list of Complete Monster entries to remove those references from?

Also remove The Art Of Courtly Love from WorkPagesInMain.A To C as it has been moved by someone other than I to the Literature/ namespace.

[up][up]If we do that, we're gonna need to modify the captions a bit (at the very least using notes).

[nja]Let me try: Who are possible new/rewritten captions.

[down]Actually, the Reservoir Dogs one can be replaced with the writeup at Reservoir Dogs.

I didn't swap in the new Joffrey image because I don't think it needs to be cropped closer and the light behind Joffrey helps highlight him.

Please remove these cut pages from WorkPagesInMain.D To F:

a space below a work name means the next work is somewhere further down the list and not right next to it in the list.

Hi. I noticed a minor issue on Church of Happyology. In the Live Action TV section The Mentalist part, this line has "recent" in it:

  • Visualize has been taking a more important role in the plot in recent episodes.

As that isn't typically allowed, I would have removed it but, well, the page is locked.

Thanks.

I'd like to make an alteration to Monster/Literature, specifically the Volle entry, as it is inaccurate.

I'd like to change this part:

  • When confronted over the deaths he brags about having also engineered the death of Volle's first love, Xiller, in the first book

To this:

  • When confronted over the deaths he ridicules Volle for clinging to the past, with regards to Volle's first love, Xiller

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders!

Please also remove Dalziel And Pascoe from WorkPagesInMain.D To F, as it is now at Literature.Dalziel And Pascoe (as are all of its wicks).

EDITED TO ADD: Please remove The Day Today from the same page, as it is now at Series.The Day Today (and all wicks have been moved).
