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.

We'll deal with this one in the unlock requests thread.

Can someone please remove No. Just... No from YMMV.Avatar? It's part of a large scale clean up effort as of the TRS thread.

Can you also remove No. Just... No from X Just X?

There is a red link to FanHaters on "Stop Having Fun" Guys.

Seeing as Nakama has been renamed, "Trope Repair Shop has recently been working on Troper's Second Law: As a thread becomes longer, the probability of it turning into a discussion of whether to rename Nakama approaches one." on Tropers Law need to be changed or flat-out removed. I'm thinking removed.

I'm sad to see it go, but go it must. Bye.

It still weirds me out that the change actually happened.
Hm?
In Talk.Who Would Win Archive, the link to Main.The Adventures Of Dr Mc Ninja should to be to Webcomic.The Adventures Of Dr Mc Ninja.
Not sure if it's possible due to the fact that it's well above the server-crashing 500,000 characters, but thank you much in advance if it's done.

I'm not sure that's worth attempting. We can leave it be, I think. Or maybe Eddie can fix it on the backend. I don't feel like being responsible for crashing the server.

Hm?
Yeah, I didn't think so, but I saw no harm in asking. Thank you anyway!

[QUOTE]Okay, so much stuff needs to be added to [John Cena main page] and updated that it's not even funny. Seriously, even Michael Cole's page got more updates while his was locked. [/QUOTE]
What The_Reptile said.
Having a lot of edits locked out can strengthen the case for keeping something locked, if the edits are part of a flame war and/or are fan politics dressed up as tropes.
And this thread is edit requests for a locked page, not unlock requests.

What he said. I am frankly sick to death of pro wrestling fans treating every fleeting moment of a broadcast as Serious Business that MUST BE DOCUMENTED ON TVTROPES AT ALL COST.
Can you guys get a grip on reality please?

Page: Monster.Disney
Requested edit: In the Live-action films section, update the link to TheWizardOfOz to Film/TheWizardOfOz.

Will you please remove the Dethroning Moment of Suck redlink in Something Awful? It is under Pet the Dog.
Same page has a Hatedom link.

On the archived pages for Troper Tales Disproportionate Retribution, there is an example I'd like removed:
1. Removing an example and explaining why is not "Disproportionate".
2. Bans in cases like this are less about punishment and more about getting the user's attention.
Please get the piece of natter underneath it as well.

Can't edit the archive. Eddie'd have to do it.

For The Irate Gamer, take out Incredibly Lame Pun. The examples are only presented in a way for Complaining About Shows You Dont Like. They're not frowned upon in-universe, and even though they're VERY facepalm worthy, it still doesn't qualify.
Bjorn Westlander, Agent Retriever is locked, but I want to move the contents of Ptitlebs0eu2e0 there. Can you help?
