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.

None of those pages are locked.

EDIT: Ah, I hadn't read the first paragraph. My bad.

Final Fantasy VII:

Also, for Sephiroth's section in Final Fantasy VII:

  • The Needless: In Advent Children Sephiroth neither breathes nor blinks, deliberately invoked by Kazushige Nojima to emphasize how inhuman and otherworldly he had become.

For future reference, Writing the articles and their namespace (i.e. VideoGame.Final Fantasy VII and Characters.Final Fantasy VII) will avoid any potential confusion. tongue

9425 (Fifty Shades of Grey): Those additions have various issues: ZCEs (e.g. Sadist), not-really-examples (e.g. Awesome McCoolname), Word Cruft (e.g. Bastard Boyfriend), and misplaced or misused items (e.g. Follow the Leader). I can do some of the good edits tomorrow but you'll need to fix the bad ones. Thanks.

9426-here: Done, although I didn't pothole the English title of the work in the edit to Monster.Anime And Manga because the page itself is still found at the Japanese title.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

The French Revolution and SD Card can be removed from Useful Notes Pages In Main, because they've both already been namespaced.

I thought I asked on my request to remove Kid Icarus: Uprising, not Kid Icarus, from Administrivia.Wick Namespace Migration. So let me make my request clear.

On the page Administrivia.Wick Namespace Migration:

Please add:

And please delete:

Another pair of removals from Administrivia.Creator Pages In Main:

  • Rodgers And Hammerstein (for some weird reason, the Creator/ page for this was created a year ago as a redirect to the Main/ page! I've reversed them.)
  • Tim Rice

please add Rodgers And Hammerstein to the wick namespace Migration, seeing as there are 82 wicks left on the main/ namespace:

In not so complex pages:

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/RodgersAndHammerstein Rodgers And Hammerstein]] - Creator/

@Dark Elf Princess - Kid Icarus needs to be Video Game/ or change it to Videogame/KidIcarusUprising if the entry is about that game (i.e if it's written Kid Icarus: Uprising on the page.)
