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.

Please recreate and cutlist the following ghost wicks:
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"Please recreate and cutlist the following ghost wicks:
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"Please fix the quote at Transformers, as mentioned here.
CM Dates; CM Pending; CM Drafts- At G.I. Joe, please replace the G.I. Joe (IDW) header with Comic Books; have G.I. Joe (IDW) below it single-indented, and double-indent the entries.
- At Transformers, please replace Comics with Comic Books
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.Please recreate and cutlist the following ghost wicks:
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"Film F To O: In the The First Power entry, it appears that the word "villain" should be "victim".
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"Please redirect Nocturnal Diurnal Animal and Wrong Circadian Rhythmnote to Diurnal Nocturnal Animal.

Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.Film F To O: In the Dr. Channard entry (under Hellraiser), please change the mispelled "Cenboite" to "Cenobite".
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"The Punisher's first entry has an erroneous use of "then".
Peace is the only battle worth waging. 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:

CM Dates; CM Pending; CM DraftsI 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?
Disambig Needed: Help with those issues! tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13324299140A37493800&page=24#comment-57614232: 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.
2 minor things:
- At G.I. Joe, the formatting's correct, but please just make it * G.I. Joe (IDW) (it doesn't need to be AssCapped).
- Please change the quote at The Punisher to the one here.
Now, for this week's CM entries, from here:
- Yhwach goes to Anime And Manga A To J, at the end of the Bleach tree.
- Dino Geist goes to the same page.
- Mikaze goes to Anime And Manga K To Z.
- Mike Logan goes to Film A To E.
- Mr. Smith goes to Film F To O.
- Pale Lady, Scarecrow duo, and Ewell rewrite all go to Literature M To Z.
- Final entry (including the header) goes to 2000 AD.
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.
Fixed, thanks.
Requesting that Malevolent Masked Woman and Malevolent Masked Women be redirected to Malevolent Masked Men.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.Main/ptitle17u4r74z: Please recreate and cutlist the page to get rid of a ptitle redirect on Histeria!.
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"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!"
Done to here.
