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.

DTH with a few comments:
- ACW 12648: The first request is done, the second needs the actual text to swap in ... the sandbox doesn't contain anything.
- Lymantria 12652: There is no page there.
- Medinoc 12653: Not a character trope, so it doesn't belong on character pages. It also seems spoilery to me.
- Hamza and randomsurfer, remember that you need a bulleted list with [[index]] and [[/index]] before you can ask for a page to get indexing turned on. Otherwise, all previously existing bullet points will start indexing.

Oops, my bad. I meant to point to this link.
In The Bible, there are a few Sinkholes of What the Hell, Hero?.

- Notably averted (or subverted, depending on your interpretation) in The Book Of Job, where God becomes a Jerkass to Job because God's on a bet with Satan.
- Taking You with Me: Samson. Could be a case of either Heroic Sacrifice or Redemption Equals Death, maybe both considering what happened earlier ...
I request that an edit be made to The Fountainhead, to mention that King Vidor was the director of the 1947 Gary Cooper film adaptation.
I made (or at least attempted to) a more detailed page for "Scream Queens". Since it's a well known term in film and other media, I decided to make one since This Very Wiki still doesn't have one. It also has the list of said actresses so if the higher-ups/mods/etc think it should be turned into an index page, better.
There's a huge The Force Awakens spoiler in "Big No" that seems to have slipped on. Film section. I'll remove it but the troper who posted might need warned.

Fly High, Seek Peace
Recap.American Horror Story needs its index turned on.
Could please turn the index on for Xbox Live Arcade
Working on cleaning up List of Shows That Need Summary
Wait, is allowable to add The Force Awakens examples or no? I just found another one. I know the work and character pages are still locked.
Fly High, Seek Peace
Force Awakens is getting unlocked tomorrow, isn't it? I thought it was just for opening weekend.
Anyway, I still need the MacGuffin Girl wick on Mary Sue deleted. It's the last one left. It seems to have gotten skipped in the last round.
Yeah, I thought so too. It could be a time zone thing, it's already tomorrow in some areas.
Fly High, Seek Peace
So does the Star Wars lock turn off on it's own or does a Mod actually need to physically do it. Also if automatically is it midnight or the same time the lock went into place.
DTH, with a few notes:
- Scream Queen: I dunno whether turning that into an index is necessary; we don't generally index pages by things they are examples of. Aside from the question whether that is Trivia rather than Useful Notes.
- BigNo.Film and The Force Awakens: I'll pass these on ~Fighteer, this spoiler policy is his brainchild.

It's Monday across most of the US. An unlock on The Force Awakens would free your soul and cleanse your bowel.

I wish the mods would quit moving the goalposts regarding the locks.
No, we are specifically banning edits to those pages for the first week of the film's run, to keep spoilers out. Which is exactly what you are trying to add, so yeah.
