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.

Let's clean up the writeup for [up][up][up]:

  • Return of the Fly: Alan Hines (real name Ronald Holmes) is an industrial spy who betrays Philippe to steal the teleporter's plans for himself and murders a British agent who tries to stop him. Once he discovers that the teleporter can mix and match living things, he knocks out Philippe in a fight, places the unconscious Philippe in the teleporter and adds a fly, knowing Philippe will come out a monster.

Please also flip indexing on for X-Men: Rogues Gallery, and once you've swapped, X Men Rogues Gallery can be Cut List.

Please unlock X-Men: Rogues Gallery. I think it was just locked due to size.

Headscratchers.Pokemon Archive Late 2010 has a link to Two Words Obvious Trope (mentioned some posts above), can it be changed to the new name?

In my various journeys, i found that Yiff has links to But You Screw One Goat (change to Bestiality is Depraved) and a link to Mickey Mouse without the Western Animation/ namespace in front.

[up] Archives are not edited for any reason. Not even for namespacing purposes.

WWE needs a cleanup, big-time. I know it was locked to prevent edit wars and all that, but the amount of natter, This Troper, violations of Repair Dont Respond, and "REALLY?! We've gone this long without even mentioning..." is legitimately painful.

You can write up a cleaned up copy on Sandbox.WWE Wallbangers and ask for a swap.
