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.

Please set the page type for Journey to Saturn to 'work'.
Western Animation: For Speckles The Tarbosaurus, please change the namespace from WesternAnimation/ to Animation/.
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"Fern Gully: Please change the redirect target from FernGully to FernGully: The Last Rainforest.
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"Done.
That looks like it was already done.
Hmm... maybe it's a glitch, but if you follow the links in reverse from the work page, then currently Main.Fern Gully redirects to WesternAnimation.Fern Gully which redirects to WesternAnimation.Fern Gully The Last Rainforest. The source shows a direct link, though.
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"Please change It's Popular, Now It Sucks! entry on YMMV.Avatar to
- It's Popular, Now It Sucks!: See the trope entry in that page for more.note Considering that this is the highest grossing film of all time, its flaws have been emphasized much more than most other titles. note
This will rid it of Captain Obvious sinkhole, though the rest of the entry deserves much criticism too.
That example is written poorly. You don't refer the readers to other examples and the notes are unnecessary.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?- At Monster.Cartoon Network, please replace the Ben 10 entries with a tree as shown here.
- At Monster.Western Animation, please delete The Legend of Korra' example and replace the Avatar'' example with the tree at the above link.
- Would it be possible to replace the TMNT examples as shown here?
Fixed that redirect. The Avatar edit request needs to have the issues fixed that Karxrida pointed out. Did the Ben 10 and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles requests; the Korra one breaks the alphabetic search so I am not sure on it.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanWhatCouldHaveBeen.Video Games needs to do indexing.
Also, this thread's OP should probably indicate that page-typing requests are done here.

Done and done.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanFilm example for False Rape Accusation:
- In The Hunt, a small girl's angry comments are misconstrued, and suddenly the protagonist has to flee for his life from a murderous mob convinced he's a pedophile (he's not, for the record).
Film example for Pædo Hunt:
- The bulk of The Hunt is about a Close-Knit Community turning on a member they mistakenly believe to be a child molester.
Add to last paragraph of the description to False Rape Accusation:
- Compare Unprovoked Pervert Payback, where an Accidental Pervert moment creates a backlash for the offender.
Please add the UsefulNotes/ namespace to Main.American Accents on Drunkard's Walk and The Irate Gamer.
eroock's additions are done. I've removed American Accents since it's not a trope and should not be listed in the trope list.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman- Please replace Monster.Video Games with what's at Sandbox.VG Monster and Cut List the latter Sandbox.
- Please lock Video Games A To K and Video Games L To Z.
- From here:
- Chew rewrite goes to Comic Books.
- Gaerity goes to Film A To E.
- George Harvey rewrite goes to Film F To O.
- Skynet rewrite goes to Film P To Z.
- Storyteller goes to Live-Action TV.
- Pres. Stone goes to Western Animation under the "Films" group.
Please set the page type for Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956), Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978), and Body Snatchers to 'work'.
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"I would fix that It's Popular, Now It Sucks! entry on YMMV.Avatar, but my only solution is to just delete it.
The ymmv item page wick doesn't show how the alleged hatedom was inversely correlating with film's popularity. On those grounds, example is a shoehorn. Avatar is a one-shot work that's been popular from the start, and kept on being popular. That "Now" word from the item name must be there for a reason.

Please add Memetic Sex God (now a locked disambiguation page) to Locked Pages.
edited 17th Aug '15 4:52:32 PM by MyFinalEdits
135 - 169 - 273 - 191 - 188 - 230 - 300DTH save for Memetic Sex God - I think that one should wait until we are sure whether to cut or just disambiguate.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanOn WMG.Harry Potter Main, please add the Literature/ namespace to the pothole to Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them. (Why is this WMG page locked?)
Please change the namespace for Design For Dreaming from Main to Film, I am attempting to write a full page for it.
