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.

Septimus Heap seems to have talked about the de-hyphenation and not making new hyphenated titles in the German translation thread (thread is in German), but I only read that after I posted (it was a page or two back from what they are discussing now.)

I'm not looking at Administrivia.Creator Pages In Main to do this, so I don't know whether any of them are next to each other in the list.

Keeper of The Celestial FlameOkay, I made a mistake.
Way back in post 8979, I wrote that Fall Of The Studio System should be removed from Fallen Creator. What I meant is that it should be namespaced on that page. If some moderator could put FOTSS back on Fallen Creator and namespace it, I'd be very grateful. Thanks!
"But... nobody told me I needed a signature!"Please remove these from Administrivia.Creator Pages In Main:
And these from WorkPagesInMain.P To R (not my work, checking for completed moves):
- Professor Challenger
- Ricky Morton (says it's a trope on the page - not found any uses, but I'm not a Wrestling fan, but it isn't a work, toss up is between Useful Note or trope.)
- Robin Hood
- Rosewood Academy (blanked by an unknown person - there is nothing in the edit history.)
also, Robin Hood should be added to Useful Notes Pages In Main, since he is a legendary Historical Domain Character, (at one time being called Robin Hood was a name given to criminals, rather like an electronic tag, nowadays.)

Keeper of The Celestial FlameUpon considering a few new editors, I think a message about bad work page links, like so, may be worth adding to the "message editor over an edit" function:
"Greetings,
The <page> edit you made isn't linking the work page properly.
Work names in trope examples should preferably be in link form (CamelCase or for single-word titles between {{ and }}), in italics (done by surrounding the link text with and ; except for short stories, where they should be between " and ") and with a namespace before the link (like Namespace/WorkTitle). If you have problems with that, just consult Text-Formatting Rules or Ask The Tropers.
Thanks for helping us keep the wiki cool."
There may be another way to write this, though.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynmanyou need to add some anti-markup markup so you get something similar to: ''and'', (two apostrophe characters either side, which shows up like this: and.) Later on make sure they know they're quote marks, because they can look exactly the same in some fonts.

Keeper of The Celestial FlamePlease add the following to No Real Life Examples, Please!, as per the "Real Life section maintenance" thread in the Long Term Projects forum:
* EvilMentor: Calling real people evil.
* GoodAdulteryBadAdultery: Making morality calls about what adultery is justifiable, which is outside the wiki's mission.
* NobleBigot: Calling real life people bigots, and "noble" is a morality judgement, which isn't what the wiki does.
All your safe space are belong to Trumpmove Tour De France from WorkPagesInMain.S To U, to Useful Notes Pages In Main, to go with our other sporting pages, thanks.
Also move Teletoon from WorkPagesInMain.S To U to Creator Pages In Main, as it is a broadcasting network that is clearly stated on the page to produce at least some of the content it broadcasts.
Please remove Super Bowl from WorkPagesInMain.S To U, it is a Useful Notes page that has already been moved to UsefulNotes.Super Bowl
Please remove State Broadcaster from WorkPagesInMain.S To U, and add it to Useful Notes Pages In Main. The way it is written and set-up it is more of a Useful Note.
Spiritual Warfare can be removed from Work Pages In Main, as it was duplicated with a better page at VideoGame.Spiritual Warfare, moved all the wicks over.

Keeper of The Celestial FlameArchive.Ad Of Win Archive 2010 and Archive.Made Of Win Archive Early 2009 are archive pages and should be locked as such.

9014: Done with slightly different wording, but am running into technical issues; see [1].
9018: Done except for one of the Attempted Rape potholes because having two potholes to the same trope around the same kind of text on the same line seems a little pointless.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.Please remove these from Administrivia.Creator Pages In Main:

About the German pages on Hyphenated Titles, all we're doing here is listing them for quick reference. I agree it is better if it's the people focused on this part of the site that are doing any move.
And on this subject, the last [/index] markup on this page need to be removed and put on the bottom of the list, so those German hyphenated titles will be indexed too.
