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.

Kurtwood Smith can be removed from Administrivia.Creator Pages In Main. I've finally got round to fixing the wicks (I'd said I'd do it yesterday, but forgot.)

@9824: Done, but without the potholing in the first since we don't cite works in such a manner.

@9825: You'll need to give an example text; I don't know what to add.

The PAW Patrol page is locked, so I'd like to request the following edits to the page:

  • Growling Gut:
    • Rubble's stomach growls once in the episode, "Pups Get a Rubble" and three times in "Pups Save the Treats".
    • Callie's stomach growls five times in the episode, "Pups Save a Train".
  • Help, I'm Stuck!: Happens frequently in this series.
  • Human Ladder: The pups have done this a few times in the series.
  • Security Cling: Some of the pups have a habit of jumping into Ryder's arms when they get scared.
  • Sneeze of Doom:
    • Chase is infamous for this since he's allergic to cat fur and bird feathers.
    • Skye lets out a big one in "Pups and the Pirate Treasure" when she sticks her head in a dusty knothole.

Also for the Five-Man Band entry, I think it's necessary to include Ryder in there as The Mentor.

[up] Your entries as written for Help, I'm Stuck! and Human Ladder are Zero Context Examples. Just saying "This happens a few times" conveys nothing to any reader not familiar with those times. Explain how it happens.

While I'm at it, though, X Meets Y, as Just for Fun only, should be deleted from WesternAnimation.PAW Patrol. (Why was it locked anyway?... oh, of course. Because of a thundering moron who can't take a hint - or a thousand hints in this case.)

Edit request for Final Fantasy VII, addition to Kadaj's profile in folder "Remnants of Sephiroth".

  • Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Kadaj has just enough understanding of what he's doing to realize he's just The Pawn for Sephiroth's resurrection, but he doesn't understand how. At heart, he's a Psychopathic Manchild who's trying to find his mother and reunite his "family". When he finally does get his hands on Jenova and sees that the "mother" he's been looking for is just a puddle of genetic goo, he begins to cry and scream in anguish. Even Cloud seems to pity him, muttering "[I guess] a remnant wouldn't really know" when he realizes Kadaj really has no grasp of what he's doing.

Edit request for My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic S4E25 Twilights Kingdom Part 1:

  • Most Wonderful Sound: Celestia, Luna and Cadance singing three-part harmony in "You'll Play a Part".

Edit request for My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic S4E26 Twilights Kingdom Part 2:

  • Broken Base: The destruction of Golden Oaks Library and its replacement with the Friendship Rainbow Kingdom Castle are sources of controversy. On the one hoof, since protagonists will almost certainly never die on this show, having the most frequently-seen setting and Home Base be destroyed is a powerful way to establish Tirek as the most dangerous villain yet. On the other hoof, the new castle and the Mane Six's Rainbow Power transformations are often criticized for being excessively tacky-looking out of purely Merchandise-Driven considerations.

(Edit: I can't figure out how to prevent the article links from getting auto-hyphenated.)

9824: I don't think Carnage is a work so much as a character (ala Doc Ock, Green Goblin, Red Skull, etc).
Please add the following to Anime And Manga I To P:

  • The Legend of the Legendary Heroes: The anime version has Lir Orla. In flashback he and his Siblings in Crime murdered thirty-eight Alpha Stigmas who were under Tiir's protection; the victims, most of whom were children, were butchered so that their magic could be extracted and weaponized. In the present day, Lir acts as a assassin for King Riphal of Gastark, assassinating a duke who had outlived his usefulness, and then trying to take out King Sion of Roland. A few weeks later, he tracks Tiir down again, and massacres another group of children who were in his charge, gloating the entire time about how they're monsters and no one will care if they're exterminated. Essentially a swaggering street punk who managed to get his hands on a Ring of Power that turned him into a Hero Killer, Lir possesses no redeeming features, and unlike King Riphal, who wants to end war, he is just a sadist who finds murder more amusing than anything else.

@9829/@9830: Done, save for the entries that mlsmithca pointed out are Zero Context Examples. Also, it's more than just a thousand hints...

@9835: Done, but that page is nearing the point where it needs a split.

@9836: The first example needs more context. The second example doesn't explain how the base is broken, merely talks about the reasons. As for the links, the article title is too long for the forum software.

@9838: Same issue either way, the addition is done though.

For Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil, under literature:

  • In the Archer Mayor novel The Price Of Malice the Big Bad, who has at this point murdered several people in cold blood, captures protagonist Joe Gunther's girlriend Lyn Silva and holds her on his boat when she seeks him out. After they struggle he binds her wrists with duct tape and when she hurries to cover herself since her clothes have been pulled out of place he snarks about how women always think men just want to jump their bones, and she's too skinny for him anyway. Whether or not he actually would have sexually assaulted her and was just saying that as an insult is left ambiguous since they're found before he can do anything else, but it's strongly implied he would have killed her eventually and apparently had no problem with that.

From this paragraph on DarthWiki.Fallen Creator, please add the VideoGame namespace to Kid Icarus:

  • One of the more tragic examples — Gunpei Yokoi was a creative genius at Nintendo that was making successes even before Shigeru Miyamoto became the public face of the company. On top of being the inventor of the D-pad that all gaming controllers use to this day, he created the Game & Watch series that broke Nintendo into home video games, and later replicated this with the Game Boy. Serving as a producer, he also oversaw the creation of Metroid, Kid Icarus, Fire Emblem, Dr. Mario, and Panel de Pon. Then he made the Virtual Boy. The high-profile disaster of a system was discontinued within a year, by which time he had become persona non grata at Nintendo. Nintendo was notoriously cruel to the poor guy, too. After the Virtual Boy debacle, they made him man the booth at a trade show, which in Japanese corporate culture is considered entry-level work, and thus a severe insult to someone of Yokoi's stature. He eventually resigned and began development on the Japan-only handheld system, the Wonder Swan, which did go on to be a reasonable challenger to the Game Boy's domination in Japan. But sadly he didn't live to see it as he died suddenly in a traffic accident in 1997. After his death, Nintendo paid tribute to him and still recognize him to this day as an important figure in the company's history... and are kind enough to his departed soul to just forget the Virtual Boy ever happened.

Also, please delete this line from Administrivia.Wick Namespace Migration:

  • Kid Icarus - VideoGame/ or to VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising if the entry is written "KidIcarus: Uprising".
