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.

Requesting VideoGame.Video Game to be redirected to Video Games in order to capture all the inbounds. I know, not a common redirect that one, but sometimes it's done.

Also, Useful Notes Pages In Main needs How Video Game Specs Work, House Music, Hindu Mythology (that one also ought to be moved to the appropriate Work Pages In Main article), Het, Hebrew Mythology (that one also ought to be moved to the appropriate Work Pages In Main article), Harmony, Hardcore Techno, Half Cadence, Grunge, Gospel Music, Glam Rock, German Expressionism, German Humour and Geisha removed.

For Moral Guardians

Mexico City's mayor, Lic. Ernesto Uruchurtu, banned professional wrestling from television, despite CMLL cutting out all blood and prohibiting Gimmick Matches. Pressure from them also lead to La Nazi changing her name to La Comandante.

That's why he wants you to have the money. Not so you can buy 14 Cadillacs but so you can help build up the wastes

Edit request for Final Fantasy VII. The following entry under Red XIII's has a spelling error and is a redlink. Below is a corrected form of the same entry.

Cartoon Animal: The series never assigns a name to Red's species, which combines avarious feline and canine traits. Characters occasionally refer to him as lion-like, but his association with the moon and howling to express himself is more like a wolf.

Cartoon Creature: The series never assigns a name to Red's species, which combines various feline and canine traits. Characters occasionally refer to him as lion-like, but his association with the moon and howling to express himself is more like a wolf.

Likewise, this entry under Rufus Shinra's profile can be fixed thusly:

No One Could Survive That!: His apparent demise in VII — his office is bombarded by energy blasts from Diamond Weapon and blown up.

This page should be redirected to the Light Novel namespace of the title (I have no idea why it's locked):

  • Anime/Bakemonogatari

Done to here. (Thanks for the clarification about the Tails Doll.)

[up]: The page was probably originally in Anime/ but then moved to Light Novel/ and the Anime/ page cut back when cutting automatically locked a page.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Please add to Literature:

  • The Shadow of the Wind: Francisco Javier Fumero, the corrupt chief of police in Barcelona, relishes the power his position brings him. As a boy, Fumero tortured small animals as an outlet for his sadism, and when he discovered Julian Carax, the one boy to treat him kindly, and Penelope, who Fumero lusted after, were together, he attempted to murder Julian and devoted his life to destroying him and Penelope alike. Fumero sent his men to kill Julian and personally murdered a woman who loved Julian for helping him. In the years that passed, Fumero terrorized the populace of Barcelona as a uniformed thug, torturing those who caught his ire. One luckless man named Fermin was held and beaten before Fumero tortured him with a blowtorch. When the young hero of the novel, Daniel Siempre, closes in on the buried story of Julian Carax, Fumero wastes no time in attempting to kill him and all who know the truth as well. Cruel, sadistic, violent and insatiably power-hungry, Fumero represents how far a once almost pitiable boy can fall.
