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.

[up] the sky is not just air. Especially in fantasy and art, where the trope is most prevalent. There's a big difference.

Also, I think that a bunch of those Badass Army redirects need to be killed. Not only is there a Bad Ass clean up effort that it does not help, but just having Badass Military covers it all without the need for specification (which works will often shy from, too). Plus, it was probably made 'Army' to start with because that term is often used as a catch-all for branches of the military.

  • Please take care of this.
  • Please remove the Mothra (Clark Nelson) example from Godzilla and Seth Cowie (The Authority) from the Wildstorm section at DC Comics.
  • Please replace the quote at One Piece with this:
"I told you the time limit was an hour...but that's just when the cage closes completely. There are injured people out there, and elderly folk who can't stand. Suckling little infants as well! Who will be the first to die? Within 30 minutes people will be sure to start dying somewhere! And within 40...we will be able to hear their screams from here! Within 50...this country will be stained red as a crushed tomato with their blood! And in an hour...no voices will be left to cry out!"

For Film F to O, please replace the current entry for Monster Hunt with this:

  • Monster Hunt: Lord Ge Qian Hu is the regional warlord and owner of the Heaven Restaurant. Disgusted by the Monster Hunter Bureau's fall into obscurity and wishing to revitalize it, Hu places a bounty on the Monster Queen's unborn child, relishing in the potential chaos that would ensue. Discovering that monsters were hiding in the Yongying Village, he captures the monsters, and takes them to his restaurant, where his employees would cook them into several dishes. Hu intended to eat the young monster king, Wuba, only to be stopped by Tianyin and Xiaolan. Taking Xiaolan and Tianyin's grandmother hostage, Hu gives Tianyin the option of either giving him the baby before he stopped counting, or to let both of his loved ones die a gruesome death. As the Monster King, he was responsible for orchestrating a civil war, and disguised himself as a human in order to eradicate the remnants of the old king's supporters. Hypocritical and having a taste for power, Ge wished to suppress his fellow monsters and humans alike.

Requesting an edit to Sex Slave.

Requesting an example added to the Film section. Namely:

  • In Hitler's Madman, super-evil Nazi Reinhard Heydrich has the prettiest girls of the village of Lidice lined up against a wall. He picks the ones he likes best and has them sent off to the Eastern Front to be sex slaves in German brothels.

the sky is not just air. Especially in fantasy and art, where the trope is most prevalent. There's a big difference.

But not enough of one to not be worth a redirect, since sky and air tend to be used as synonyms anyway.

Also, I think that a bunch of those Badass Army redirects need to be killed. Not only is there a Bad Ass clean up effort that it does not help, but just having Badass Military covers it all without the need for specification (which works will often shy from, too). Plus, it was probably made 'Army' to start with because that term is often used as a catch-all for branches of the military.

1) I don't see how that interferes with the badass cleanup when there's enough difference in perception between a Badass Army and a Red Shirt Army to actually be worth a delineation.

2) While Badass Air Force is rare, Badass Navy tends to be common enough to actually be worth a redirect, if not its own trope. (If renamed because we're trying to get rid of most if not all the Badass + X tropes.)

3) Even if we do change it to Badass Millitary, (Though from what you just said wouldn't that just run into the "Badass + X problem" anyway?) the redirects would still be useful anyway since there's always going to be people who want to specify, and works that actually do specify.

On the Sex Slave page, please remove the sentence "Emp herself is nearly subject to this in the "Cosmolactic Emperor's" harem." from the first bullet point under Empowered. That bullet is specifically talking about Ninjette, and suddenly switching subjects is confusing.

I've discussed with the Get Help With English thread, here's the improved Konami writeup.

  • Konami used to be a beloved video game studio and publisher of some of the most respected video game series, including Castlevania, Metal Gear, Contra amongst their titles while also having a very strong arcade presence and inventing the ever famous Konami Code. At the eighth console generation, everything just went down the drain on this company:
    • Signs of problems had been detected in 2012; where they continued to dissuade and restrict the director of the Castlevania series, Koji Igarashi, to not continue on the Metroid Vania games that have not been profitable since Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin. In response to this, Igarashi departed from the company after the next game and years later went on to create his own studio and make a Spiritual Successor of the Metroidvania-style games, which achieved great success.
    • Around the same time, Konami also started making decisions that slowly alienated their fans. These included announcing the cancellation of the Silent Hill reboot that was meant to be directed by Hideo Kojima, as well as acquiring Hudson Soft (creator of the iconic Bomberman series) but doing nothing with their titles, letting them rot.
    • 2015 exacerbated the issues further with their decision to seriously scale back AAA-Video Game development and focus on Pachinko and Mobile games, alienating gamers and even their own staff. After the release of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, which was mired with development conflicts, Konami fired the franchise's creator Hideo Kojima and barred him from receiving the awards that the game won.
    • Then news spread that Konami had been absolutely making its video game division's life a complete hell by working with them, with the employers likening it to being sent to prison and made worse when another news spread that the current CEO of Konami admitted to never playing video games before taking the position. The fandom went into justified rage of learning this mistreatment to their video game division.
    • As Konami went on, old beloved franchises like Castlevania and Metal Gear were given pachislot titles, the former having very questionable features and marketing strategy (titled 'Castlevania Erotic Violence' with tons of gratuitous fanservice shots) and the latter, after the debacle with Kojima and the video game division staves, went on to become the third most disliked video in all Youtube history.
    • By 2016, people have forgotten Konami's influence in early gaming history and it is seen as nothing more than a money-grubbing greedy corporation that continued to insult video gamers by unapologetically making games that no gamers liked and considered by many to be as one of the worst video game companies ever, matching even Electronic Arts. Any attempts by them to Win Back the Crowd usually backfired. At best, it's a complete laughing stock to western gamers, and at worst, it generates bitter rage amongst all gamers.

Can this be added to Fallen Creator?

Wait, wait, I missed out something on that:

"to not continue on the Metroid Vania games"

Can it be changed to

"to not continue on the Metroidvania games"

?

On DC Comics, fix this typo in Skeletor's entry.

"...on the off chance that he himaelf survives..."

"Himaelf" should be changed to "himself".

On the Final Fantasy VII: Playable Characters page, add ", as well as Super Smash Bros. for Wii U." to the end of Cloud's Guest Fighter trope. That appearance is listed under his spin-off appearances, but it's worth a mention down there as well.

Badass wick related cleanup:

Cerberus Daily News Citadel Space:

  • Change the first Badass entry to Action Survivor and properly indent the Badass Bookworm entry directly underneath it.
  • Delete the other entry on the page, it's zero context.

Cerberus Daily News Terminus Space:

  • Remove the curly braces around the word "badass" in the Chef of Iron entry.
  • Delete the two other entries on the page, they're both zero context.
