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.

Just asking if something can be done to remove those wonky subpages:

The first two don't exist but appears in the list of pages by type (and thus cannot be cutlisted), and the second do exist, but when trying to cutlist it I get the message "Trope is already in cutlist." when it isn't actually the case.

That's because the cutlist isn't intelligent enough to tell older cuts from present cut requests. I have no idea why one can still edit pages with spaces and these special symbols when the software still cannot support them.

Imma call ~drewski here since these two problems are becoming a bit aggravating.

The Bible:

  • Our Ancestors Are Superheroes: The first humans are depicted as living for anywhere from 300 to 900 years, even the ones who didn't have god-given superpowers. Justified in other cases like Samson, or the miracles of the prophets like Moses, Elijah and Jesus. There is implication that humans were originally created immortal with natural abilities that could be considered superhuman but greatly diminished after the Fall and have been further declining over time, healthcare and technology notwithstanding.

Final Fantasy VII:

  • Our Ancestors Are Superheroes: There was the Cetra or later called the Ancients. They were gifted with powerful magic and a high affinity toward the planet and the lifesteam allowing them insights such as if someone has died and rejoined the lifesteam. Sephiroth states that human are decendants of the Cetra, who forsook the migratory ways (and lost the magic powers) of the Cetra and hid in fear (thus surviving) when Jenova was busy wiping out the Cetra who tried to protect the planet from her/it.

Can someone add, on Zero Punctuation ?

  • cricri3007: I want to add his Call of Duty: Black Ops III review to the list for not mentioning you can play as a female Player Character. When a part of the marketing was built around finally playing as a woman in a Call Of Duty game, he should have at the very least mentioned it as a possibility, even if just for complaining about some of the issues with the female PC writing. Doubly so since he talked about the Nightmare mode (playable only with a female PC) but didn't said a word about it. That little thing made me lose all respect I had for him as a professional critic.

If you see any mistakes, please tell me, my own knowledge of English and reverso's spellchecker probably aren't enough to spot everything..

Let's just do this now: Please replace the content at When They Cry with the content inside the folder at Complete Monster Stuff, but please do NOT Cut List the latter when done.

Can you add this example to Sex Slave please?

This is a simplistic and biased but not entirely inaccurate view of Mars' Julandri Courtesan sub-caste in Rocket Age. They are technically owned by the Royal and Priest castes, but they are closer to geishas than concubines and they have far better lives and potentially can hold a lot of soft power than almost anyone else in their society. Despite this, they still fall into this trope a lot of the time.

Never Live It Down:

  • On another note concerning Cloud, the entire sequence of the game where he is forced to crossdress in drag in order to enter the Honey Bee Inn will be forever recorded in Video Game History.

Not An Example. Never Live It Down is when a character becomes indelibly associated with a particular incident, to the point where it memetically defines them. Not the case here.

Thanks. And this is my bad, but at When They Cry, for Nomura, please remove the brackets around "[[indirectly cause the Great Hinamizawa Disaster]]".

Not an edit request or a lock or unlock request, but what does "DTH" as used in this thread stand for? I looked it up and coludn't find anything that fit.
