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.

Side Show can be removed from WorkPagesInMain.S To U. (Though placed on the Cut List as a tropeless stub, I fixed that when I namespaced it.)

That page will also need a change to the backend, so that the pagetype change page points to https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Administrivia/WhatPageTypesMean instead of https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WhatPageTypesMean.

Oops, didn't think it would break anything as What Page Types Mean (now) redirects to Administrivia.What Page Types Mean. Seem like it did. sad

Please remove these from Administrivia.Creator Pages In Main as they have been moved:

Every actor on the Bollywood Actors list has been moved to a namespace.

Add this line to Administrivia.Wick Namespace Migration in the Not-So-Complex pages section:

* '''[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/BobAndRay Bob And Ray]]''' - Radio/

Triple J was already moved, actually. I am not 100% sure on the namespace, though.

It was moved to Radio, which I believe is wrong as it should be in creator. Radio is the namespace for works on the radio, such as Radio.The Goon Show, unless the guidelines have changed? - sorry for posting off-topic.

OT: Please remove these from Administrivia.Creator Pages In Main:
