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.

Please set the page type for Straw Dogs and The Thief Of Bagdad to 'disambiguation', and add 'does indexing' to Syfy Channel Original Movie.

I was told this is a place where I could propose a new message for those pre-defined messages for editors who make mistakes in their edits.

I'd like to have a message that says something like this: "Unfortunately, the example you added is misuse that doesn't fit the definition of the trope. Please read trope descriptions carefully. Thanks for editing the wiki and trying to make the wiki cool."

Would that be possible? Thanks for considering it.

The misuse message should link to Square Peg Round Trope.

It'd be nice for cases when a troper showhorns objective tropes into YMMV examples. That said, I believe that's kind of the purpose of the "murky example" message.

Hi, I'm trying to redirect the Main page of Attack On Titan to Attack on Titan, but for some reason, it's locked. I don't know why, because it's a non-existant main page, and I was able edit the WMG for that entry, so why is it locked? If you could help, that would be great.

Because we don't allow Main-to-work redirects. They are unnecessary since the system automatically generates a disambiguation page. Wicks should go to the correct namespace; any that are not need to be fixed.

Rest will come tomorrow or Tuesday, but at Marvel and Icon, please replace the Spider Man tree with this (mostly indentation; also a few minor tweaks):

  • Spider-Man: With the franchise having been around so long, Spider-Man has faced many foes. However, a few members of Spidey's Rogues Gallery stand out.
    • Norman Osborn: Also known as The Green Goblin, Norman, one of Spidey's Arch-Enemies (along with Doctor Octopus and Venom), graduated to Complete Monsterdom following his resurrection in The '90s. Once a Tragic Villain who suffered from a Split Personality that forced him to become the Green Goblin, Norman was apparently slain after he threw Spider-Man's girlfriend, Gwen Stacy off a bridge, in what many fans saw as his Moral Event Horizon. Brought Back from the Dead in the nineties, Norman revealed that he had been the mastermind behind The Clone Saga, Aunt May alive and killed Peter's clone, Ben Reilly, while gloating that he could now remember all the crimes he'd committed as the Goblin and was proud of them. Since then, he has gone on to be a major player in the Marvelverse, masterminding the creation of the Dark Avengers. During this time period, he kept the Sentry in line via drug addiction (then had his wife killed), planned to have the caputred Songbird decapitated (so that he could mount her head on the wall and masturbate to it), and deliberately triggered a war with Asgard by having the U-Foes attack Agardian warrior Volstaag in a football stadium, resulting in thousands of casualties. During this time, he also seduced and impregnated his son Harry's girlfriend, then plotted to have Harry killed, because he thought Harry's tragic death would earn him public sympathy. These, by the way, are all actions committed by the Norman Osborn persona; the Green Goblin persona remains an Axe-Crazy Mad Bomber who regularly endangers/kills hundreds of civillians during his battles with Spider-Man, and, in commemoration of Gwen Stacy's death, tried to recreate the tragedy with Mary-Jane Watson, Peter's then Love Interest, as the victim. As Norman Osborn he's a cold-blooded, calculating psychopath who treats everyone as a means to an end. As the Green Goblin he's a violent lunatic who threatens every person in the vicinity.
    • Carnage (pre-AXIS): Cletus Kasady was a psychotic, sociopathic, prolific Serial Killer even before he bonded with a bloodthirsty alien symbiote and took the name of Carnage; as a child, he killed his grandmother and pet dog, tortured his mother, killed the headmaster of his orphanage with a lead pipe, and then burned the orphanage down, and pushed a girl he had a crush on in front of a bus because she rejected him. As Carnage he became one of the worst enemies of Venom and Spider-Man both with his psychotic killing sprees through New York where he murdered anyone unfortunate enough to cross his path and if not for Venom and Spider-Man he would have killed thousands more. During the Maximum Carnage event, Carnage created a "family" of fellow super villains, using their powers to drive New York into homicidal insanity and to capture his "father" Venom, in whose captivity Carnage subjected to horrible torture. Not even his own family was safe from Carnage's psychosis and he brutalized his "wife" Shriek for ignoring his instructions before murdering their "son" Doppleganger when he tried defending her. Carnage has a habit of returning from death, always nastier than before, and the intense evil of Cassidy and the Symbiote together results in one of Peter Parker's most murderous enemies.
    • Spider-Man's Tangled Web's first three issues feature one-shot villain Carl King, a.k.a. The Thousand. A particularly vicious childhood tormentor of Peter Parker who happened to be at the demonstration where Pete was bitten by a certain radioactive spider, he quickly put two-and-two together and decided to get spider-powers of his own by eating said spider. Instead, he was transformed into a colony of a thousand oversized spiders with the ability to crawl into a human body, eat the host's organs, musculature, and bones from the inside out, and wear their skin like a suit, mimicking both the victim's mannerisms and voice. The first person Carl "possessed" in this fashion was his own mother; the second, who he killed intentionally and for no reason, was his father, and the imagery implies that he killed his dad after having sex with him. Since then, he has come to the conclusion that he should have been Spider-Man rather than puny Parker, and has gone through around a dozen bodies every year, several of which were children, in order to become strong enough to overpower Spidey and steal both his body and his life.
    • Spider-Man 2099: Vulture 2099 is one of the vilest of villains Spidey had to face in the Darker and Edgier 2099 era. After saving Spider-Man from members of the Public Eye, Vulture offers Spider-Man membership in his gang, the Freakers. However Spider-Man soon discovers that the Vulture is a cannibal. Vulture killed the Public Eye officers chasing Spider-Man and cooked them up for dinner. Disgusted, Spider-Man refuses to join the Vulture's gang and Vulture attacks him. While Spider-Man is fighting Vulture, Spider-Man discovers Vulture's meat locker, containing several corpses on meat hooks that Vulture intended to eat later. After his initial defeat Vulture later returned and convinced a group of Thorites (a group that worships Thor) to have a Spiderite (a group that worships Spider-Man) burned alive. In his last appearance, Vulture discovers that Spider-Man is Miguel O'Hara and attempts to murder one of his friends. After Spider-Man foils Vulture, he sets off several bombs at the Alchemax building (Miguel is a high-level employee at Alchemax), intending to destroy it and not caring how many civilians are in the building.
    • Spider-Man Noir:
      • Otto Octavius, a.k.a. Dr. Octopus, stands in stark contrast to his occasionally noble 616 counterpart. Born a cripple, Octavius used his genius to create mechanical limbs to compensate. Also a follower and worshiper of the Nazi philosophy, Octavius kidnaps innocent black men, knowing the police won't devote much effort to their disappearances, and practices horrific experiments on them, that kill them or leave them drooling vegetables. He displays no remorse for this whatsoever, viewing them as less than human. He isn't above straight murder when it suits his purposes, either.
      • The Crime Master is the inheritor of "The Goblin" and even more evil. The new up and coming mobster is introduced directing his enforcer, the Sandman, to squeeze a man's head until it explodes, with ruthless extortion and murder being part of his normal functions. What sets him apart from other mobsters is when he, with his Nazi benefactors, begins having black citizens kidnapped and given to Otto Octavius for his torturous experiments. When he realizes the authorities are on to them, the Crime Master opts to try to murder the civilians, calling them “livestock,” by forcing them into a furnace. Also the boyfriend of Felicia Hardy, when he discovers her relationship with Spider-Man, he viciously tortures her and scars her face hideously with a shard of glass.

Could you please add Demi-fiend to the Ubermensch trope under video games?

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Ubermensch

I'd like to point out that this isn't wishful thinking; the Demi-fiend is quite possibly the most accurate representation of the Ubermensch concept in gaming. The journey, Reasons, TDE ending, and certain bosses all seem to imply and fulfill the concept.

Also, this isn't just some fan theory; Atlus is known for using Nietzsche's themes. It's why a few of their tracks like "Also Sprach Brooks" is a reference to "Also Sprach Zarathustra" among other examples.

Film F To O: Please replace the Kiss the Girls entry with the following rewrite:

  • Kiss the Girls: "Casanova" is a Serial Killer and Serial Rapist who, as a self-proclaimed "collector of loves", kidnaps young women and locks them up in an underground dungeon in the woods to create a captive harem he can use to act out his twisted fantasies. Any girl who breaks his rules or tries to escape is either murdered by lethal injection or tied to a tree to die of starvation and exposure. He admits that his motive for all this is purely the thrill he gets in possessing other human beings and breaking them down completely through rape and torture. His allegiance with the "Gentleman Caller", a fellow serial killer from the West Coast, is similarly self-interested as he sees him as expendable. Near the end he visits the only girl who escaped by herself to complete his attempted murder of her. When detective Alex Cross arrives on the scene after having figured out Casanova's real identity, Casanova taunts Cross by pointing out how he molested Cross's niece, one of his last victims, for more than a week.
