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.

~St Fan, there have been objections towards moving all these articles in that namespace, since they are mythology systems that also involve written down stuff and art and are henceforth not "myths, legends and Oral Tradition". I can't act on such a request before that situation is resolved.

I thought the situation was resolved once Willbyr (with mod hat on) closed the crowner.

Oh, I see, it's the exact scope of the namespace that is discussed. Fair enough.

Yep, the namespace is approved, but whether these particular pages belong there is not agreed upon.

Seems too nitpicky.

Also, did the non-namespace related part of @9725.

[up][up]sadsadsad Well, here's another change to Western Animation anyway. For Legend of Korra, please change the first sentence to: Unalaq, Korra's Evil Uncle from Season 2 of this Sequel Series to Avatar,...

The source of origin? Mister Kennedy...Anderson is the source of origin. I could add that Kennedy...Anderson popped up in WWE, AAA, Great Lake Championship Wrestling, Northeast Wrestling and TNA, among others, doing that entrance, but there really is no need. He can go through that routine wherever he goes whenever he pleases. The TNA pothole just comes from the most famous use of "...Anderson", in case those used to just Kennedy from larger promotions didn't get it. But you're right about TNA not being the obvious "work" it comes from, because it's not.

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

^^No, the issue is that the example writeups you have been giving don't give sufficient sourcing.

^Done.

Would it be all right to add the following example to the Literature section of Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil:

  • The Starfish Alien characters in Greg Egan's Orthogonal trilogy discuss this a few times. Thoroughly justified by the reproductive system of the species: Sex immediately induces reproduction, and the females reproduce by fissioning into four children. Logically, this means that it is impossible to commit rape without also committing murder.

Done and done save for Cooper (not sure where on the page it should go; someone not so cleverly thought that splitting the page by source material was a good idea, which it isn't).

Cooper is from a Five Nights at Freddy's fanfic, so it should go under other.
