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.

Sorry about the back-up, everyone. Should be caught up now.

Hi
The Bible: I've made The Bible Characters to cleanup the characters page because there were far too many things to make individual edit requests for. In order, I've:
- Removed or rewrote listings of Badass, as it's no longer a trope.
- Commented out zero context examples.
- Removed a zce of Incredibly Lame Pun, which is no longer a trope but a pothole magnet.
- Fixed indentation where more than 1 trope was listed per bullet.
- Removed natter.
- Fixed sinkholed trope names and removed misuse.
- Replaced an instance of Ho Yay with Heterosexual Life-Partners, as it's not a trope but an audience reaction.
- Removed an example of A Nice Jewish Index, which is not a trope but an index.
If the page looks alright, I'd like to request having it swapped in on The Bible.

Warcraft: For Deathwing's entry, please add a space between "the" and "ruler", and the quote marks around Thrall: Twilight of the Aspects in the first note should be italic marks.

Still needs some work. Took care of a few Example Indentation cases and a bit of overlooked natter.
Done.

Please wrap a Complete Monster around "worst villains" for the header at Spider-Man.

I did some further cleanup on The Bible Characters, and think I got all the formatting and misuse problems. Does it look ready now?

, - done.
Sorcerer in training
On the "Know the Staff" page, could Komodin be moved to a respected retirees section or something like that? He apparently died back in March, but it only recently came to greater attention here recently.
First I heard about it.
Unofficial Wiki Curator for Complete Monster
- Please replace the content at Sonic the Hedgehog with the content inside the folder at Complete Monster Drafts. There are a few minor tweaks, a changed header, the order's been changed, and there are a couple of new approved entries. Please do NOT delete the Sandbox when done.
- From here:
- Sakaki goes to Anime And Manga A To J.
- Chytrine goes to Literature A To L.
- Daos goes to Video Games L To Z.
- Xavius goes to Warcraft, at the very end (under Azshara).
There is an ugly case of a ghost wick for Hey Its That Voice (which was deemed not tropeworthy). There is Trivia/FelizCumpleaños, but it doesn't allow edits on the basis of having the letter "ñ".

Please move the trope Slipstream to Slipstream Genre. The rename was agreed upon in this TRS thread.
On the page Monster.LiteratureAToL, there are three examples from novels by David Gemmell. The titles of all three can now be bluelinked, as works pages for them have recently been created.

Please redirect Faster-Than-Light Communication and Superluminal Communication to Subspace Ansible for searchability purposes.

Everything's Worse with Snowclones: Please change this paragraph
The "Everything's X with Y" tropes are about shoehorning things into a work to get a certain emotional response, so "Everything's Worse With Snowclones" seems to be about using snowclones to evoke fear or apprehension. It isn't. Thankfully, this is just one administrivia page, so make sure not to repeat our mistake.

Can we have Summoning Artefact made a redirect to Summoning Artifact (it's how it's spelled over on Twisted tropes, so it might come up spelled like that here in the future.)

EDIT: No, scratch that request. It's not in the Main/ namespace, so doesn't require a mod to edit.

I'm trying to make redirects for Nature Hero and Wildman; Nature Heroine and Wild Woman. Instead, I get sent to the YKTTW. Do we still do gender variant redirects?
Please remake and cutlist Golden Eyed Pixie Series, for a ghost wick on QI.
Also remake and cut Thirty More Hs for a ghost wick on Rockos Modern Life.
