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.

Can you please change the Face–Heel Turn example on Axe Cop to this:
- Face–Heel Turn:
- Sockarang in episode 13. In episode 16, he was revealed as Dr. Stinky Head, who Axe Cop knew as Stinko from fighting school in Ask Axe Cop #4 . Subverted when it is revealed a few episodes later that Dr. Stinky Head merely impersonated Socharang - the real deal eventually came to rescue the gang, pulling exact same stunt on Dr. Stinky Head's team by disguising himself as Dr. Stinky Head.
- This also happens to the Wrestler in Ask Axe Cop #64.
Also, please remove Heel–Face Turn for not being an example.
Oh, and please expand upon Improbable Weapon User with this,
- Improbable Weapon User:
- You'd never really expect Flute Copnote to be able to perform Badass moves using his flute, but according to Ask Axe Cop #55, that's exactly what he's trained to do.
- Axe Cop's ancestor Book Cop, true to his name, fights using weaponized books.
- You'd never really expect Flute Copnote to be able to perform Badass moves using his flute, but according to Ask Axe Cop #55

Edward Heath can be removed from Useful Notes Pages In Main.
"But... nobody told me I needed a signature!"
There's a Dead Link in Double Standard under the Yaoi Fangirl entry.
@9489: That may be the first time I've seen the words "Edward Heath" and "useful" in the same sentence.
On a related note, please remove the following pages from Administrivia.Useful Notes Pages In Main:
- Arthur Balfour
- Clement Attlee
- David Lloyd George
- The Earl Grey
- The Earl Of Aberdeen
- The Earl Of Derby
- George Canning
- Gordon Brown
- Harold Macmillan
- Henry Campbell Bannerman
- Herbert Henry Asquith
- James Callaghan
- John Major
- Lord Liverpool
- Neville Chamberlain
- Ramsay Mac Donald
- Stanley Baldwin
- Viscount Goderich
- Viscount Melbourne
- The Viscount Palmerston
(That really does run the gamut of UK Prime Ministers. The good, the bad, and the truly awful.) Wick migrations are complete for all of them, with three exceptions; please add them to Administrivia.Wick Namespace Migration:
Many thanks in advance.

The Yaoi Fangirl entry is in the "frequently sexist in delivery but not in nature" folder.
Since there are no wicks left and it is on the cutlist, please remove Press Gang from WorkPagesInMain.P To R
Couldn't you have taken the circular reference out of Neville Chamberlain when moving the page - I'm going to have get more drinks.
DO NOT add Neville Chamberlain to the namespace migration as it is not necessary.

Could I have taken the circular link out of UsefulNotes.Neville Chamberlain? Probably. But after moving twenty pages and completing wick migrations for seventeen of them, I'd basically run out of energy.
And judging from the rapidly dwindling number of wicks to John Major, I'm guessing he can be dropped from the list of three as well.

No. I had to stop because it was time to watch stuff on the internet with my boyfriend. I'll finish him now.
ETA: John Major has been completed and no longer needs to be added to the namespace migration.
I'm not doing Gordon Brown today. I'll see if there are any small Useful Notes pages to be moved from Administrivia.Useful Notes Pages In Main.

The two references to Atari 2600, the reference to Atari 5200 and the reference to Atari 7800 on DarthWiki.Fallen Creator need to be changed to UsefulNotes/{{Atari 2600}}, UsefulNotes/{{Atari 5200}} and UsefulNotes/{{Atari 7800}} respectively.
And now Atari 5200 and Atari 7800 can be removed from Administrivia.Useful Notes Pages In Main after the above edit is completed.

Hi
9460: I agree with Fighteer; FAQ is too much of a stub to go anywhere right now.
9461, 9463 - 9465: Done.
9466: Not done, that's still under discussion in the NRLEP thread as far as I can tell.
9469, 9474, 9475: Done.
9476: The list change is made and the old pages are redirected. I've locked those pages as well, since misuse seems to inevitably creep in.
9477 - 9486: Done.
9487: Not done yet.
9489, 9490: Done.
9491: Done minus John and Neville.
9492: Press Gang is done.
9495 - 9497: Done
DTH aside from the aforementioned.

The pages still have misuse on them, but we are slowly trying to sandbox out a new page, that will be a lot shorter and keep the trope stable.
Please remove these from Administrivia.Useful Notes Pages In Main:

Hi
Done.
This is about all I've got time for right now.
Please change the list on FiveManBand.Anime to this:
change the hyphenated versions of these pages to redirect to the non-hyphenated, and I will check if they can be cutlisted.
ETA:There isn't a "request a pagelock thread" so I'll say it here, are we going to automatically lock the new Five-Man Band unhyphenated versions to prevent misuse?
