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.

Amendment to the amendment: on Completed Namespace Migrations, Calvin and Hobbes need the mention "[2] (3)" next to it, for the archived wicks and ghost wicks respectively.
nombretomado, please don't forget to count those when finishing a migration. (Awesome job with the wicks, otherwise, keep it up.)
Actually, nombretomado didn't ask for these numbers because s/he's cutlisted the redirect. When it's cut, the ghost references go away.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanPlease remove Hiroshi Ito from Administrivia.Creator Pages In Main, and place them in Completed Namespace Migrations. I'm not sure where they go on the list for Names To Know In Anime, the index he should be on, I'm considering putting him on the generic voice actors index, which would take the total number of wicks to 14.
Keeper of The Celestial FlameDone.

Keeper of The Celestial FlameCorrect, I would be including the counts if I didn't request the cut. Thanks for keeping an eye out for it, though

Done. I think I'll try taking the H folder of these pages here.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanFilm P To Z: Please replace the Poltergeist entry with this:
- Poltergeist: Reverend Henry Kane was the insane leader of a utopian cult in the early 19th century who led his "flock" into an underground cavern under the premise that the world was about to end, but in actuality, his only intention was to harvest their souls for his own power. As a ghost, he absorbed the energy from his followers, which fused with the evil in his heart and turned him into a monstrous apparition—a demon called "The Beast". When the Freeling family moves into the home built where the cavern once was, Kane tries to abduct the young Carol Anne and bring her to the realm of the dead, dubbed the "Other Side," where he could use her to attract more souls for his energy. In Poltergeist II: The Other Side, he keeps on tormenting the Freelings, possessing Steven's body in order to rape Diane while taking a proactive role in psychologically and physically tormenting the family as he seeks to take Carol Anne. At the end of Poltergeist III, Kane apparently abandons his pursuit of the Freelings and accepts the mystic Tangina's offer to show him into the light, but the film ends with a flash of lightning and Kane's demonic laughter, showing his supposed redemption as a sham.
Also, please change the page types for Poltergeist II: The Other Side and Poltergeist III to 'work'.
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"At Webcomics, for Xykon, please make it the entire Sapphire Guard kill each other with a Symbol of Insanity

CM Dates; CM Pending; CM DraftsDone and done.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanPlease remove King Kong from CompletedMigrations.Film. There's lot of wicks in Main/, not to mention all the others that need correction now the three films have been split.
Removed it.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanPlease remove Main.Celtic Mythology from Wick Namespace Migration, and add it to Completed Namespace Migrations under the Myths/ folder: Myth.Celtic Mythology (2)
Done, might want to link to the actual pages though.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanWhoops, my bad. Thanks for the fix!
From here:
- Akame ga Kill! tree replaces the current one at Anime And Manga A To H.
- Bobby Fields goes to Creepypasta (between Alice Killings and Dating Game).
- Ra and Curtis Freley go to Film P To Z.
- Samuel Blunt goes to Literature M To Z.
- Brevon and Kalibarr go to Video Games And Visual Novels.
Done. Looking at that Creepypasta entry, I must say, that reads like a synopsis of the character, not like an example of the trope.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanPlease change the following page types:
- Titanic to 'disambiguation'.
- Titanic (1997) to 'work'.
- Day Of The Dead to 'disambiguation'.
- Men in Black II to 'work'.
- Men in Black 3 to 'work'.
- King Kong (1933) to 'work'.
Done.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanAt Monster.Web Comics, please cut the Grim Tales from Down Below entry; and replace the current writeups for Alan and Seer with these:
- Dead of Summer: Alan Stone, in flashbacks, is revealed to have subjected zoo animals to hideous experiments, already giving him quite a few negative points. After beating the tar out of a sympathetic character and kicking him and the main character out into the dangerous, zombie-ridden city, he finds out his wife has been working on a cure for zombiism by testing it on a monkey she adored, so he tears out the electrodes to its brain. Then he injects himself with the "cure", turning into a literal monster. Then he injects his pregnant wife with it, turning her into a zombie. After all that, heinjects the remaining zoo animals with it to build an army of the undead.
- Kid Radd: The Seer is essentially a virus that didn't go off on the day it was scheduled to because he realized that humanity would survive. He spends the entirety of the comic finding a way to get a sprite body, then a physical body, so he could kill everybody in both worlds. He didn't need to do any of this. He could easily kill both populations at any point, but wants to be there physically so he can see his victims cower in fear of him before he slaughters them. Then, once he was done with Earth, he planned to search the galaxy for other forms of life just so he could go on killing for eons.
- On the Death Battle page, i wanted to add (under the part about Z-targeting), that sufficient fast ennemies can outmaneuver the Z-targeting and that Cloud's Omnislash (as proven by Wordof God in Advent children (fast enough that falling feathers are pretty much immobiles while he does it) is fast enough to do so.
I'm declining that edit request. First, it's terrible grammar. Second, the DEATH BATTLE! arguments tend to get very heated and we refuse to be a party to them.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Please get rid of the extra close parenthesis at Anime And Manga S To Z after "Blade of the Phantom Master" (Shin Angyo Onshi). Also, for Criminal Minds, rewrite for Holcombe:
- Charles Holcombe from "Legacy" views homeless people as subhumans who should be exterminated, so he kidnaps them and brings them to his torture chamber, where he puts them through agonizing physical and mental torment before dissecting them alive, something he's been doing for a very long time. He even gives them the opportunity to escape by telling them they can leave if they make it out in a certain amount of time (and if they manage to do it, he knocks them out with gas to avoid their escape). His last words are "Just let me do my job!"

CM Dates; CM Pending; CM DraftsCan you please add the following to Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil:
- In the Doctor Who episode "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship", Solomon's barely-euphemistic speech about how he'll enjoy raping Nefertiti is clearly a major reason why the Doctor cold-bloodedly kills him with a most uncharacteristic Pre-Mortem One-Liner.
Did all requests.
