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.

At Monster.The Witcher, please replace Whoreson Jr.'s entry with this (just a few minor grammatical issues):

  • Cyprian "Whoreson Junior" Willey is one of the four crime bosses of the free city of Novigrad and runs the casinos, fighting rings, and brothels, and is widely regarded as the most cruel and sadistic of the city's four crime bosses, and even evokes disgust from these fellow criminals. He has his men dress up as Monster Clowns to torment and intimidate the people of Novigrad, including Ciri, Geralt's adopted daughter. Geralt seeks out Whoreson Junior to get her whereabouts and discovers dark secrets along the way. Cyprian works under the orders of King Radovid to undermine the armistice between the gangs of the city and incite gang wars and mass chaos so that Radovid can invade. Cyprian is paid in prostitutes he can rape and butcher at his leisure. When invading his hideout, Geralt discovers the grizzly remains strewn about in one of the most nightmarish levels in the game. Ultimately, Geralt discovers Whoreson Junior bathing in the blood of his latest victim, and Geralt, normally rational and stoic, brutally beats him as he pitifully begs for his life.

I propose the following edit to the Barack Obama page, in light of his recent remarks. Double Standard Rape: Female on Male: Discussed and averted in a speech in which he indicated that if one gives drugs to a woman — or a man — and has sex with that person without consent, that is rape.

I would assume putting a Double Standard trope about any Real Life person could be considered Flame Bait, especially if said person is involved in American Politics.

Might it be considered gossiping about the person? Speeches are usually written by writers with advisor contributions, which might invite natter about whether he believes it or not. A big mess.

At Anime And Manga S To Z, please replace the Sword Art Online tree with this (fixing indentation and italicizing the title):
  • Sword Art Online:
    • Fairy Dance Arc: Suguo Nobuyuki (Oberon the Fairy King) is the director of research and development at RECTO Progress Incorporated, and the one-time fiance of female lead, Asuna Yuuki. He was also completely obsessed with research into the manipulation of human emotion. Following the clearing of Sword Art Online, Suguo trapped three hundred of the surviving players in his own game, Alfheim Online, where he ran experiments on their minds, testing their fear and pain responses. Kidnapping Asuna in the game, he keeps her trapped in a gilded cage at the top of Alfheim's World Tree, while plotting to wed the comatose girl in the real world. When Kirito reaches the top of the World Tree, Suguo uses his administrator abilities to paralyze him, tortures him, and then sexually assaults Asuna in front of him, gloating the entire time about how, once he's freed, he will rape her again in real life. When the plan fails, he attempts to kill Kirito in the real world, attacking him with a knife. Guilty of attempted murder, torture, trying to rape a teenage girl, and putting three hundred people who had just spent two years fighting for their lives through an additional two months of trauma, Suguo is as bad as SAO's villains get.
    • Phantom Bullet Arc:
      • Red Eyed XaXa (real name: Shoichi Shinkawa) is one of the top members of the Laughing Coffin Guild in SAO, and the Guild's Master Swordsman. During the Murder Investigation Arc in SAO, XaXa, alongside PoH and Johnny Black, ambushed and attempted to murder players Caynz, Yolko, and Schmitt; when Kirito intervened, the trio also tried to kill him. After making his way back to the real world, XaXa, bored, and seeking a way to kill again, took advantage of his younger brother Kyoji's fragile mental state, to convince Kyoji to create the online persona of Sterben/Death Gun in Gun Gale Online, ultimately hijacking Kyoji's desire to be "the strongest" for his own ends. Using Kyoji, and his old partner Johnny Black as aides, the psychotic XaXa was able to arrange the murders of players Zekushiido, Usujio Tarako, Pale Rider, and Garret, before sending Kyoji to murder his own crush, Shino Asada. A sadist at heart, XaXa makes a point of crippling his opponents' avatars with a paralyzing toxin before delivering the coup de grace, and during his Sword Fight with Kirito in GGO does his best to cut him to ribbons, mocking him the entire time.
      • Johnny Black (real name: Atsushi Kanemoto) is another top member of the Laughing Coffin Guild. As the Guild's Master Poisoner, Johnny came up with a way to paralyze opponents so that they could then be tortured to death, and puts this poison into effect during his, XaXa, and PoH's attack on the members of the Golden Apple Guild. When discussing what they will do with the captured trio, Johnny expresses a desire to make them fight each other to the death, promising to release the survivor; when PoH notes that Johnny will just kill the survivor, Johnny complains about how the Guild Leader has ruined the surprise. He subsequently tries to poison Kirito when he comes to the Golden Apple trio's rescue. Escaping into the real world, Johnny was recruited by XaXa during the Death Gun murders, poisoning Pale Rider and Garret in their homes, before again making a getaway. He was finally arrested when, after having lain in wait for six months, he attacked Kirito and Asuna on the street, intending to inject them with poison from a syringe, and hospitalizing Kirito. Unable to quit killing in the virtual world or the real world, Johnny is the work's definitive Psycho for Hire.

DTH but I really question the last sentence in the Suguo writeup. It is duplicating the whole listing.

  • Maybe make it "as bad as he can be"?
  • Please add the quotes from Monster Quotes to their respective pages (WITHOUT cutting the Sandbox when done). If the Ace Attorney one can't have the character spoiled, just make it The real killer

Star Wars:
Please change the last sentence in Palpatine's entry to the following: Please add the following to the video games section after Bounty Hunter:
  • The Force Unleashed: Emperor Palpatine is the despotic ruler of the Galactic Empire. Upon discovering that Darth Vader had been training a secret apprentice, Starkiller (born Galen Marek), to overthrow him, Palpatine commands Vader to murder Starkiller to prove his loyalty, laughing maniacally as he watches Vader telekinetically brutalise his own apprentice. Initiating a plan to wipe out potential threats to his regime, Palpatine, through Vader, manipulates a revived Starkiller into forming the Rebel Alliance, so that all of the Empire's enemies could be gathered in one place. After capturing the Rebels, Palpatine intends to torture them into betraying their allies before publicly executing them. When Starkiller arrives to save the Rebels, defeating Vader in a duel in the process, Palpatine tries to convince him to kill Vader and become his new apprentice. When Jedi Rahm Kota, Starkiller's mentor, tries to attack him, Palpatine tries to torture him to death with Force lightning. In the game's Dark Side ending, where Starkiller kills Vader, Palpatine slaughters most of the rebel leaders, then orders Starkiller to kill Kota. When Starkiller betrays him, Palpatine responds by torturing the apprentice before crushing him with the Rogue Shadow and having Starkiller rebuilt into a cyborg monstrosity, making it clear that he intends to use Starkiller as a living weapon before discarding him, just as he had with Vader.

I'm wondering if it's still necessary for the Variable Geo disambiguation to be locked.

Anyway, please put the two titles on this page (Advanced Variable Geo and Variable Geo) in italics.

Changed the Suguo entry, unlocked that disambiguation and added the Digimon and The Force Unleashed stuff. Spoiler tags above the example line are forbidden, so didn't add Ace Attorney; also, need to specify which Palpatine entry I ought to change.

Force Unleashed should probably be alphabetized right after Bounty Hunter. Please also add the following before "Dark Side ending: (non-canon) . As for the change, it's the first Palpatine entry (under "franchise-wide").


For the Ace Attorney quote, try this:
->"I killed a man named "Smith" with a bottle because I am an evil human being. ...Isn't that enough?" —>—The real killer (spoiler), Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, Episode 4: "Turnabout Succession"
Also, for DC And Vertigo, for Vandal Savage, please wrap a Historical Rap Sheet around "Over the millennia".
