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.

If wiki policy permits this sort of thing, I request that the page Breach Of Promise be created as a redirect to the recently launched trope page, Breach of Promise of Marriage. The former is normally understood to mean the latter, but is sufficiently nonindicative that misuse concerns required the longer official name.

Bigotry in the name of inclusion is still bigotry.

[up] Ah yes. If it's the one I'm thinking of, it should be "evil is more powerful than good..."
At the same page, please replace the current quote with this:

"Cristu told me something, about when you and him were starting out. Something you said. 'Rape them to break them.' Cristu didn't get it, but you explained. They had to be shown right away just who was in control. They couldn't stop you when you had them lifted off the streets. They couldn't stop you now. They had to understand that they were POWERLESS to prevent anything from being done to them."

I request a lock for Jimmy Savile. The person is far too controversial that I think actively keeping real-life troping off the page is too arduous of a task for little payoff.

Garbage Post Kid - change the Garbage Pail Kids link to link to the Franchise page instead of the Main?

... What is an Archived Article? You mean like Archived Discussions and stuff?

14232: Done...did I get the formatting right?

14233-35: Done.

14236: I did the first one, but I'm wondering if the second couldn't be misused for humans...if another mod wants to make that redirect, that's fine.

14237, 238, 240: Done.

14241: Done, and yes, an archived article will (almost always) have the word "Archive" in its title and is not to be edited under any circumstances, even to correct things like namespacing.

Well, normal humans are supposed to be monophasic, i.e. their sleep period has to happen in one go each day for optimal physiological functioning. Polyphasic sleep (which is integral for a cathermeral circadian rhythm) is at best exceedingly rare in humans, and at worst outright impossible, so it would probably be a case of Bizarre Human Biology if a human is depicted as being capable of polyphasic sleeping.

[up] Looks as though you may have accidentally combined the To Kill a Mockingbird and Towards Zero entries on Monster.Literature M To Z into a single paragraph when pasting in the new writeup for Ewell.

Slight rewrite for Literature M To Z:

  • Towards Zero: Neville Strange is a psychopath who feels that anyone who has ever wronged him must die. When his wife Audrey leaves him for another man, he decides that she has to die, and die humiliated at that. With that in mind, he bludgeons his adoptive mother, Lady Tressilian, to death, and lays two overlapping sets of false clues, so that it will look as though Audrey not only killed Lady Tressilian, but also tried to frame him for the murder. He also arranges for the death of lawyer Arthur Treves, who remembered him from a case he committed as a child, and might have been able to expose him. His intent is that Audrey be destroyed socially and then hanged; when he exposed he screams that he does not care, and that Audrey "has to be hanged! I do so want her to be hanged!"
