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.

One more: At Fire Emblem, for 2G Manfloy, please make it "And after all of that, he organized and helped commit the horrible child hunts..."

Seeing as the page type setter has been glitched, can Characters.Metroid be edited to be an index since I split the page?

Please help out our The History Of Video Games page.

DTH save for ~Cricri3007's request since it's badly spelled and looks like a Justifying Edit or Walkthrough Mode to me.

I don't think it's a Justifying Edit or a Walkthrough Mode. I'm explaining that, in the Death Battle, Cloud's Omnislash shouldn't have been blocked by Link.

On the Wallbangers/Death Battle page, under the part about Z-targeting:

  • It should also be noted that sufficient fast ennemis can outmaneuver Link's Z-targeting and Cloud can move at such a speed (Wordof God said that, during Cloud's final Omnislash in Advent Children, the feathers that almost don't move because Cloud's attack is too fast for them to do so).

Is it better ?

On ImageLinks.Complete Monster, the link to Sosuke Aizen doesn't seem to be working anymore. Fortunately, I remembered what the image was, and was able to find it on the Bleach Wiki and uploaded it to TV Tropes' servers. In other words, replace his current image link with this:

An addition to the page for Barack Obama:

Parker Sawyers has been cast as Barack Obama in Southside With You, an upcoming movie described as a Before Sunrise-style romance depicting Barack and Michelle Obama's first date. Tika Sumpter (Ride Along, Get On Up, The Haves And Have Nots) will play Michelle Obama (Michelle Robinson, at the time) and Executive Produce.

Flying a plane is no different from riding a bicycle; it's just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes.

Proposed edit to the Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking main page:

In the trope description, I suggest we add a link to Worse with Context, since the joke sometimes turns out to be that the "jaywalking" item really is as bad as the others. I suggest changing the second paragraph to this. (Same as existing version, except I added the sentence "See also Worse with Context when..." )

See also: List of Transgressions, Arson Murder And Life Saving, Felony Misdemeanor, Good News, Bad News, Odd Name Out, The Triple. Compare Poke the Poodle, All Crimes Are Equal, Jaywalking Will Ruin Your Life, when the minor crime carries significant consequences. See Worse with Context when the "jaywalking" turns out to really be as bad as the other crimes. The inverse is Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick, where a list of seemingly mundane things ends with something much darker. Clue, Evidence, and a Smoking Gun is a related inverse that deals with deductions rather than listing things.

At Fullmetal Alchemist, for the quote, should be I am who I am, not WI am...
Speaking of quotes, any chance of getting any of these up?
