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.

This is the appropriate place to bring it. Occasionally mods do discuss things with each other and it doesn't get done immediately. Be patient.
Okay, I just didn't know what was happening.
.....
All right, if that is the case, change of plans. All of it, paragraphing and all, will also be taken care of in the Get Help In English topic. That OK? (Because if I put it on Discussion, someone will point out grammatical error, so might as well do it in that topic)
Hello. In the Fafnir the Dragon example on Barack Obama, can "staring" be changed to "starring" and the external link be replaced with https://web.archive.org/web/20120723183207/http://fafnirthedragon.com/2009/01/02/title/ please? That link broke.
Please recreate and cutlist the following ghost wicks:

The Chick: Please remove the Bad Ass pothole in the Journey to the West example and expand The Lancer pothole so that it covers the whole name "Sun Wukong".

Wild Child
On Monster.Film A To E, The Beastmaster and Beasts of No Nation entries have been combined. Fix that, please.
Why so serious?
Okay, not sure if I should ask here or directly on the Bug report, but there is a "TroperTales" button on top of the Fanon Discontinuity page, despite Troper Tales having been phased out ages ago. The page doesn't actually exist, making this similar to a ghost wick.
Is it possible to recreate TroperTales.Fanon Discontinuity and cutlist it to make this button disappear?

Tried that, the button still displays. Ask in Query Bugs, probably.

Requesting that Badass Navy and Badass Air Force be redirected to Badass Army since the page already has examples of the former two alongside actual armies.

14962: Alright, the obscurity sliding scales are getting cut as they were deemed prematurely launched back in 2014, and haven't improved since.
So, is will there be further discussion or new TLP drafts, or is this a moderator decision that we don't need those pages?
Sliding Scale pages are a source of problems. Recommend that you be very careful if you want to bring them up again.

Requesting that Badass Military and/or Badass Armed Forces be added to Badass Army to complete the most basic forms of the trope ("Badass Marines" is just Semper Fi, I think).

Whoops. For this, I meant the caption.
Also, at Film F To O, for Mortal Kombat, please Wiki Word Evil Sorcerer in the first sentence.

On Permanent Red Link Club, BersekButton.Ed Edd N Eddy is listed twice, once under the "Pages locked for being cut then recreated" folder, and once under the "other/unsorted" folder. Keep the one listed under "Pages locked for being cut then recreated".
Also, on the same page, Analysis.Tropes isn't wicked properly.
Fixed.

Literature.Romantic Pseudo Fantasy is clearly a literary genre, but for some reason it was placed in the wrong namespace. Please copy the page content to Main.Romantic Pseudo Fantasy.

Done.

Should that even be a page if it didn't go through TLP for vetting? I'm rather dubious that it's actually a thing. We already have Paranormal Romance, which matches the first thing the page mentions (Twilight). And the name sounds a bit snarky. And we're the sole hit for the term on Google.
I don't think it's a good idea to reward people for bypassing TLP with namespace tricks. Just sayin'. (I'll take my other concerns to the YKTTW rescue thread.)
Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.
.....
FYI the thing about Konami being in the Fallen Creator page should be up in the Get Help With English thread. So anyone who wants to prepare their grammar stuffs can go there and we'll continue. Thanks!
