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.

Please delete the Doraemon example from Political Correctness Gone Mad. The anime refers to Doriyaki as "yummy buns" and doesn't have a healthy vibe at all, it has been culturally translated everywhere it airs and the Japanese owners want it that way. Not an example, more Executive Meddling, like most of the Square Peg Round Trope on that page. Also, it hasn't been added to any of the Doraemon pages, or has been deleted as Blatant Lies or Complaining.

The response I have got so far is the trope should be made In-Universe Examples Only, which removes a lot of the examples, but there are still enough for it to be viable, especially if examples which parody the attitude are allowed (like the Series.Doctor Who one.)

On Administrivia.Handling Spoilers, please put the rule against hiding character names in character pages (which I will highlight) into the numbered section to make it more visible.

There is a special version of this rule for Characters subpages: do not ever conceal the name of a character in a folder or header. Again, if someone has to highlight the name of the character to find out what they aren't supposed to look at, it's useless.

It should (probably) be written like this:

4. On character pages, don't hide the name of a character in folders or headers. Try to use an alternate, non-spoiler name given by the work or a generic title (e.g. "The Killer" in a murder mystery).

Tagging ~Fighteer to ensure this is correct, since I know this issue has been brought up in ATT multiple times and this is all based on my memory of his Word of Mod on the subject.

At Video Games A To K, please make it Hitman: Absolution, since at the time of the original entry Absolution didn't have its own page.

Please add to Rape Discretion Shot:

  • The Borrower: When Sully rapes a female cop he subdued to escape from the hospital, it's made even creepier because the camera focuses on a news report and we only hear what's happening.

@ The One Who Tropes: I apologize for the late reply.

I tried page source mode, and I couldn't edit anything using it. The page Monster.Anime And Manga K To Z cannot be edited by me whatsoever. I was requesting a change from Bigger Bad to Greater-Scope Villain due to the change in names and because it's locked.

Both examples are, as The One Who Tropes pointed out, are potholed and can be found via page source and ctrl+f.

Requesting a change per some discussion in the Complaining and Bashing thread.

In Ghostbusters, can we have

* Unfortunate Implications: The fact that Patti is portrayed as a Sassy Black Woman - who is both Book Dumb and Street Smart - and is the only major non-white character in the film has not gone unnoticed with certain circles. Criticisms of this range from accusations that the movie is outright racist against black women to noting how this completely undermines the "progressive" message that the film is trying to support. In addition Patti is the only Ghostbuster that lacks a college level education while her white teammates all have PhDs in their respective fields, being prominent scientists and engineers while Patti is just a simple subway employee.

in order to create a more neutral tone for the entry?

Can you please add the following to the Fan Works section of Complete Monster Quotes?

“Slowly but surely, the ponies of Equestria are waking up to realize that it is not ponies like you and Celestia they need… it’s ponies like me. The hunters. The monster-killers. The ponies who dare to gaze into the abyss, who aren’t afraid of a little blood and slaughter, who get the job done. Who don’t shun power, or fear things because ‘it’s not morally right’ or ‘we have a responsibility to those weaker than us.’ We do not have a responsibility to those weaker than us. They are inferior, they are pathetic, they are food.”
Sol Seraph, Starlit Knights

“I gave up my pride, my purity, to a male who fathered a daughter who was weak, and sniveling, and spent all her time thinking about inferior beings, talking about… emotions, and valuing… protecting them! I killed her father to protect her from his way of thinking, from his… broken, weak philosophies! Everything I did, I did to try and cure what was wrong with her, to try and make her strong like me, and I gave the worthless whore more chances than any mother ever has, more chances and more love than she deserved from me or anypony… she was weak. She was pathetic. She was useless. And now she’s only another dead body to me, nothing more, and what disgusts me most is that I was too blinded by ancient, worthless instincts to do this sooner.”
Sol Seraph, Starlit Knights

“If you are truly Nightmare Moon, fated to bring Ragnarok… you are the greatest predator in Equestria, you are a predator of an entire country, an entire world. To fight you, to kill you, to prove myself superior… will be my crowning achievement. Your horn will be my greatest prize… is the trophy I have always sought. And if you kill me, you will be bound and dragged with Scrivener Blooms for Ekleíp to do with as they please. I will honor you that way, Nightmare Moon. I will give those fools their prize, knowing that if you kill me, you will surely slaughter them, you will surely destroy this entire world.”
Sol Seraph, Starlit Knights

“Most demented, depraved, and truly foul villain I've ever come across. The things she did... I won't be sleeping well for a while.”
—A reviewer of Starlit Knights, regarding Sol Seraph

There is no beginning. There is no end. There is only... Hooty.
