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.

Dangerously Genre-Savvy related clean-up:
- Evil Overlord List: Please change "Dangerously Genre-Savvy" to "Genre Savvy" in the second paragraph.
Dangerously Genre-Savvy related clean-up:
On Final Fantasy VII, please change the example to the following (and alphabetized accordingly):
- Combat Pragmatist: Yazoo shoots Cloud In the Back while he's quietly contemplating his victory over Kadaj mere minutes earlier. Doesn't stick, though.
Deviants Of Art: Please recreate and cutlist the page to get rid of a ghost wick.
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"
Done to here.
Requesting the They Just Didn't Care entry of YMMV.Ghostbusters 2016 be cut. Not only does the entry not make sense (claiming TJDC is "the overall opinion critics felt Sony's intention of the remake is" even thought critics have been mostly positive about the film), but They Just Didn't Care has been changed to a Trivia trope that requires Word of God if it's not in-universe.

Red-Headed Hero related clean-up:
- The Vampire Diaries Book Characters: Please delete both examples, as they provide insufficient context (mention red hair, don't explain how this makes them heroic).
Hi
13989: "Disorder" seems much less specific than "Disease"...I'll let another mod make the call on that one.
![[up]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/smiles/arrow_up.png "[up]"){kind=icon}
- Done.

Main/ redirect request: All White Entry to Administrivia.Handling Spoilers
... should that also include 'All White Entries'? Being able to use '{{All White Entr|y}}ies' would seem to make it unnecessary, but idk how many editors actually know of that function.

Moral Guardians: Please add this one example from Russia, namely http://whatisgood.ru/. Like:
- What MovieGuide is for the US, What Is Good (originally Nauchi Horoshemu/Teach Good) is for Russia. The project's rules of "a good film" are basically Russian localisation of The Hays Code (specifically, any portrayal of smth. Russian in a "negative" light makes a film "bad"). They even go so far as to attack R-rated flicksnote as unsuitable for children. Because of their incredibly rigid outlook, combined with shades of paranoia and conspiracy search, they make quite an amusing reading — if you know Russian, of course. Oh yes, and they seem to have a crusade against Disney in particular.
