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.

Yes, but you have to go through here, because people making tropes without going through Trope Launch Pad and works in main is a much more serious issue than having to ask the mods to make a redirect for you.

[up][up] You can do "Nature Heroine" via braces, like so: {{Nature Hero}}ine.

This should give you Nature Heroine.

Can Blondes Are Evil be removed from Fifty Shades of Grey since the trope is now a disambiguation and that example has no context?

Before I do anything else, on Political Correctness Gone Mad, the Literature folder in "people complaining about it" doesn't have a [[[/folder]] tag. Could one be added?

In that same section, can we remove the Trope Namer tag from the Live-Action TV "Doctor Who" example, since he is using a well-known term, and this page was around before that episode aired, I believe.

Please remake and cut Main.The Totally Rad Show for a ghost wick on Main.Voltron, and namespace all instances of {{Voltron}} to Anime.{{Voltron}} on FiveManBand.Anime.

@13588: Decided to replace the contact link with an indicator that he passed on.

Will do the requests on this page.

Edit:[up]x3 and [up]x2 are done, while [up] seems to be taken care of already.

also on Political Correctness Gone Mad, could you change Series/LifeOnMarsUK to Series/LifeOnMars2006, since the former page no longer exists and isn't a redirect.

At Live-Action TV, please either pothole the image to Supernatural S 04 E 15 Death Takes A Holiday or remove the pothole from "You know, I haven't been up here".

In DarthWiki.Fallen Creator and FiveManBand.Film, the references to Film.Ghostbusters should be changed to Ghostbusters (1984).

At Literature A To L and Marvel Cinematic Universe, for the Black Widow: Forever Red entry, "planned to used worldwide to kill hundreds of..." should be "planned to use them worldwide to kill hundreds of"... Thanks in advance.

Can I ask the mods to look over page 544, since quite a lot of stuff is still outstanding on that page, especially both my requests after the last mod post (the recreate and cutlist one and the redirect request.) probably other people's requests as well.

[up] Done. I assume that change wasn't approved by the cleanup thread...is that something that needs to be considered?

We need to remove the mention of Shendu raping Lo Mei from the Horny Devils page. The author of that fanfic removed that from her story to subvert Shendu being a Complete Monster.

We should be caught up now, including page 544, except:

13591: Not sure how to fix this. 13600: Would recommend instead using curly brackets as stated in 13602.

13618 and 13593: Done, but for future requests please write the actual change instead of describing it.

Blondes Are Evil cleanup-releated requests:

The Fountainhead: Please change the Blondes Are Evil entry to just Defrosting Ice Queen, comment it out as well as it explains neither trope.

The Vampire Diaries: Delete the entry, it doesn't mention anything about blonde hair.

The Vampire Diaries Book Characters: Please merge the entry with the Hair of Gold entry by changing it to this:

  • Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Subverted. Originally, she was someone who was gentle, kind, fragile and docile. After turning to Klaus, Katherine became vengeful, selfish, manipulative, sociopathic and crazy.

The Vampire Diaries The Originals: Delete the entry, it doesn't mention anything about blonde hair.

Blond Guys Are Evil cleanup-related requests:

The Vampire Diaries Book Characters: Delete the first entry, as it's zero context. Delete the second entry, it doesn't mention anything about blonde hair.

The Vampire Diaries The Originals: Delete the entry, as it's zero context.

The Fountainhead: Please change the Badass entry (which is being disambiguated) to this and alphabetized accordingly:

  • The Determinator: Howard Roark will never back down. Never. True to this trait, he blows up what used to be his building because a bunch of Toohey's architect goons screwed with it. THEN, he just stands there, looking at it. He doesn't even care that he would obviously be caught, arrested, and put in jail! And it turns out he freaking planned it that way in the first place, anyway!
