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.

Please perform the following edits:

Double Standard: delete the pothole in the page quote, since those aren't allowed anymore.

YMMV.Feminist Frequency: namespace Veronica Mars (listed under Girls Need Role Models) to Series/.

Locked Pages: Memento can be removed from the list since it is no longer locked.

Several technical Complete Monster subpage edits:

Monster.DC Animation: namespace Green Lantern The Animated Series to Western Animation/.

Monster.Live Action TV: A slight mistake in a previous edit caused the last line of the Skins example to fall off the first bullet, so please correct this. On the same page, namespace Madan Senki Ryukendo to Series/.

Monster.Tabletop Games: namespace Freedom City to Tabletop Game/.

Monster.Star Wars: Under Comics, add a work link to Dark Times for the first entry. The work name for Knights of the Old Republic in the same section can be italicized.

Monster.Film: Italicize Monster.Godzilla for being a work name.

Monster.Western Animation: Add Monster.Mega Man to the index, which also lists an animated series.

Monster.Video Games And Visual Novels: Change the work link for King's Quest II to King's Quest II: Romancing the Throne.

Then there are two franchises which had their works split:

Monster.Film F To O: Format the Hellraiser movies like this:

  • Hellraiser: Frank Cotton was a cruel hedonist before he was taken by the Cenobites. After his escape, he shows no remorse in murdering innocent people to drain them of their vital fluids to repair himself. When his niece Kristy Cotton, finds him, he tries to rape her. He also murders his own brother and wears his skin as a disguise. When Kristy uncovers the truth, Frank also murders his accomplice and lover Julia with no remorse, taking her life as well. When he's taken by the Cenobites again, Frank languishes in a private hell and sends Kristy letters begging for help...pretending to be her father so she'll come to save him, solely so he can keep her as a sex slave.
  • Hellbound: Hellraiser II:
    • Julia Cotton, after she's revived, gleefully drains people at a mental hospital of their life while relishing in their pain and suffering to restore herself. She feeds her rescuer Dr. Channard to her master to turn him into a Cenobite and tries to kill her stepdaughter and an innocent, mentally handicapped girl as well. When she encounters Frank again, she shows no hesitation in brutally murdering him, showing she's cast off any human attachment
    • Dr. Channard, after reviving Julia, he happily feeds her his patients. His obsession with the Lament Configuration is so deep that he tries to have patients solve it, so he can observe the Cenobites taking them to eternal torture. After becoming a Cenboite, he becomes Drunk on the Dark Side and sadistically slaughters any living thing he sees: even other Cenobites when they remember their humanity and take a stand against him.

Monster.Film P To Z: Format the Rambo movies like this:

  • Rambo:
    • Rambo III: Colonel Alexei Zaysen is a brutal and psychotic Soviet commander who will go to any length to take over Afghanistan. He owns a prison camp and enjoys torturing and/or killing his prisoners using methods such as electrocution, severe beatings, and tying their arms to a rope and yanking it in the air. When he finds Rambo in an Afghan village, he kills off dozens of innocent men, women, and children with mines and bio-weapons.
    • Rambo IV: Major Pa Tee Tint is an Ax-Crazy military-leader who forces villagers to walk into mine-infested marshes, and he and his men shoot and dismember families (including children and babies) of villages. He also threatened to cut out the tongues of anyone who tried to stop his indoctrinating teenage boys into his army, as well as threatening to feed them their intestines. To add even more monstrosity, he's a depraved pedophile and has hostages in inhumane conditions.

Moral Guardians: delete the Complete Monster wick from Real Life -> Newspapers -> the Daily Mail for violating No Real Life Examples Please.

"Not If They Enjoyed It" Rationalization: delete the Complete Monster wick from Survival of the Fittest, since this character isn't listed as one.

Wick Namespace Migration: Judge Dredd can be deleted from the list. Main/ is still used as an ambiguity page, so it does not have to be added to Completed Namespace Migrations.

Thank you.

On Monster.Fan Works, under Literature, please namespace the mention of Adolf Hitler to UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler.

Also, on Monster.Gundam, the single mention of Adolf Hitler near the top of the page needs to be changed to UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler.

On Administrivia.The Content Policy And The 5 P Circuit, Adolf Hitler needs to be namespaced to UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler

Done to here, save for the fix of the Skins example in @9704 (not sure where the problem lies) and the entry in @9709 (is the "Anderson" supposed to be the source? Examples need to state their source).

[up][up] Not sure that's an adequate solution to the indentation problem, but whether it is or not, it has the same problem as the last version of this example of not identifying its source material outside a pothole. An example needs to state explicitly which work it comes from. Don't pothole to the work from a character name or word in a quote. Otherwise, the example will be meaningless to anyone who doesn't recognise the source.

RE: Monster.Live Action TV: To clarify, the Skins example has been accidentally mis-formatted, with the last line "Foster attempts to murder him as well." not included in the previous paragraph, like this:

Foster attempts to murder him as well.

Actually, for the Western Animation, I'm not sure the Mega Man edit is necessary, since it's only one work and it's already there under Animated Series.

I would suggest adding the Tethercat Principle to the page for Tumblr. Because Tumblr's been around a few years now, you can find arguments or chains of reblogs making the rounds that have been in place for a long time — petitions and calls to action that are years out of date, passionate arguments that never reach a conclusion, even if the users themselves have since moved on or changed their minds. This is common on most social media, I guess, but on tumblr you run the risk of an old post getting drudged up years after it originated, and users who haven't seen it before pass it around and you get a frozen snapshot of a time since passed.

[up][up] IAT, for the third time, an example needs to identify the work it comes from. A quote on its own means nothing to any reader who does not recognise the source. Removing the pothole from the link as previously written doesn't solve the problem, it just creates a new one. And also, without a reference to a work of origin, it's not clear which folder it goes in.

As per the crowner on the "Suggesting new namespaces" thread, Myth/ is now an official work namespace. So, the following entry should be added to Administrivia.Namespace:

  • Myth/ (mythologies, legends and oral traditions)

In the same line, the following are fit to be added to Wick Namespace Migration (simple section):

Note that Celtic Mythology already has a line pointing to UsefulNotes/, which need to be removed.

PS: In Creator Pages In Main, please remove Sonja Henie.
