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.

I got the misspelling joke, but that isn't a good reason to have it in the main namespace, or violate Example Indentation and ZCE. The definition makes the mistake clear immediately, so there's no confusion. Or so I thought until you said the confusion was part of the joke.

DTH. For Chekovs Gun, if someone wants to sandbox a cleaned up page, sure.

Could you please change the You Keep Using That Word part of Fifty Shades of Grey to this?

  • You Keep Using That Word:
    • Anastasia keeps mentioning that her subconscious is yelling at her, reminding her of something, or something else in that vein. But by definition, it's impossible to feel what's going on in your subconscious.
    • At one point, Ana narrates that she wordlessly whispers the words "I haven’t been out on my own since I got married" to her bodyguard. However, it's logically impossible to whisper words wordlessly.

Could somebody remove the "Con Man" example from the The Amazing Atheist main page, or at least add an addendum stating that there is more than one side to that particular issue? I'm referring specifically to the Not Productive and Free Speech Vids controversies, which TJ has addressed and explained multiple times. If I recall correctly, Not Productive failed to launch due to multiple technical issues and FSV was actually up for a while (I actually had an account there), but ultimately failed because it wasn't receiving enough traffic or revenue to pay its content creators. I can understand wanting to avoid unnecessary Natter by not having that much explanation, but it is important to at least mention that there is some ambiguity there. Or just remove it, because it comes across almost like an attack the way it's written at the moment.

At Film A To E, please replace the first sentence of Dredd with:

EDIT: You know what, it's close enough. Please replace Anime And Manga A To H with what's at Anime And Manga A To H and Cut List the Sandbox.

[up]Thanks. For Dredd, you can get rid of everything between "Mega-City One" and the end...you know, here's an easier way tongue. Just copy and paste this:

  • Dredd: Madeline "Ma-Ma" Madrigal is the de facto ruler of the Peach Trees apartment complex and the biggest and most aggressive drug lord spreading the Slo-Mo drug, which slows the user's perception of time, throughout Mega-City One. Her meteoric ascent to power in Peach Trees is noted as unprecedented for its sheer senseless carnage and bloodshed, as she and her followers slaughtered their way to the top (ironically by taking the top first, then slaughtering their way down the block) with a Slasher Smile on her face. She is introduced having several rival gangsters skinned alive, then thrown out a very long drop after being given Slo-Mo to draw out their deaths. When the Judges arrive to investigate and capture one of her chief lieutenants, Ma-Ma has the Peach Trees complex shut down to trap Dredd and his trainee inside to silence any witnesses. She has no compunction about any civilians getting caught in the crossfire, to the point that she opens fire into an apartment block with gatling guns to kill the two judges. Dredd, a trigger-happy Knight Templar himself, notes just how overkill this is. We later learn that she personally carved out the eyes of her lead techie to forcefully give him cybernetic implants and playfully threatens to gut him while issuing orders. The captured lieutenant is later returned to her, and she only refrains from killing him because she's running low on men at that point. She finally arranges to blow up half the complex, with a population of thousands, by detonating a bomb tied to her heart rate.

  • From here:
  • At Film P To Z, please split Mary Lou's entry as shown here.
  • At Marvel and Icon, please add a (pre-AXIS) after Cletus Kasady's name for Spider-Man.
  • At Anime And Manga A To H, please correctly bracket the Cold-Blooded Torture pothole for Blade of the Immortal and change Zorin Blitz's entry (Hellsing) as follows:
    • Zorin Blitz lays siege to the Hellsing mansion with her forces and mind rapes Seras by delving deep into her memories and forcing her to relive her painful childhood, where she had to watch her parents be murdered by gangsters and her mother's corpse being raped. While Seras is trapped in the illusion, the psychotic Zorin hacks off her arm, stabs her through the back, and cuts her eyes. Pip and his two remaining squad members arrive and manage to temporarily disable Zorin by shooting her multiple times. Pip tries to escape with the badly wounded Seras, but Zorin kills him by stabbing him through the back with her scythe. To top it all off, as Seras cradles his dead body and cries for him, Zorin mocks Pip, calling him an "insect," and prepares to kill Seras and her fellow soldiers.

On DC Animation, in the section for Superman: The Animated Series, the "I hope you appreciate..." quote should be under Darkseid's entry, not Brainiac's.

DTH save for Joseph since I can't find it. The Prom Night edit is supposed to be a copypaste, yes?

From here, please add the new Brainiac and Vitoria to DC And Vertigo (Post-Crisis Group); also, please cut the School Days entry from Video Games And Visual Novels.

Anime And Manga S To Z:

The entry for Soul Eater has a problem in this section:

At this time, Medusa is also trying to revive the Kishin using two witches, Eruka and Mizune, that she blackmailed into helping her—she can off them with a snap of her fingers. When she's defeated by Stein, she escapes in the form of a snake and takes over the body of a little girl. She uses this form to her advantage, knowing damn well the protagonists won't kill her if it means killing the child. She gets Crona in Shibusen to act as TheMole and drive Stein to (greater) madness. When her sister Arachne is revived, Medusa goes to Shibusen to [[ManipulativeBastard ask for their aid in defeating her—she's given Shibusen's best students to help with the job.

It needs a closing ]] after "little girl", since it screws up the Manipulative Bastard link and creates excessive blue text.

^ "Morality Tropes" folder is the best fit.

Also, mentioning that the trope was launched NRLEP would probably help. In the past there have been attempts to have an entry removed just on the say-so of the person requesting the change, for no reason other than their own personal preference.

Doesn't need to be a detailed explanation, just something like "new trope launched as NRLEP", "voted on in the RL section maintenance thread", and so forth.
