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.

Hello, there! I'm asking if it is possible to add Twitter to Donald Trump. This is because the President is rather famous (infamous?) for using Twitter to express himself. I think he has the most Tweets ever Tweeted by any U.S. President (at least in the first 100 days), but I'm not sure; it might be fake news. grin

Twitter isn't a trope, but maybe we could add a paragraph about it?

Yeah, but just say something like "He's noted for using his Twitter a lot", or something general like that (much more, like trying to cite specifics, would likely steamroller the ROCEJ).

In Creator.Marquis De Sade, please change Lost Forever to [[MissingEpisode lost]]. There's misuse there.

The Bible:

  • Dishonored Dead: This happens to a few kings of Judah in The Book of Chronicles. Most kings were buried in rock tombs near their ancestors. Jehoram is not buried with the other kings due to being rather nasty, and Azariah/Uzziah is buried in a field due to being a leper.

The Lonely Island:

  • Crying After Sex: In the song "I Just Had Sex" the singers celebrate having sex for the first time; they either don't recognize or don't care that it wasn't very good. Among other things, one singer admits he "cried the whole time, (Doesn't matter, had sex!)"

[up][up] Not really, though I don't fault you for assuming such from the blue color of the link. I have no idea why it's blue, but it's the standard "this page is empty, but we have other pages with the same title in other namespaces" page at the moment, meaning it's either never been created or it was cut without locking.

Um, I was not talking about the link. I was wondering if that not yet existing main article is already used - ssay by links or inbounds - in such a way as to justify a disambig.

... That's a requirement for making a disambiguation page? News to me.

Anyway, no to both, judging by the Related subpage. However, the term noblesse oblige does exist in English as a loanword, and from the huge number of Google results (over 1 million), I'd be surprised if it didn't generate one or two hundred inbounds within a month or two at most.

For that X-Men 2099 one, please pothole the title to Marvel 2099. Also, for Marvel Animation, Stane and Orion go at the end of the Marvel Anime group, while the Black Panther entry should go after United!Ultron.

Hey, the Fire Emblem Elibe character pages need to be renamed, since they're still using fan-translated names. The links to them use the correct official localization names, but the pages themselves are incorrectly named.

"Sword of Seals" needs to be changed to The Binding Blade, and "Blazing Sword" needs to be changed to The Blazing Blade.

I'm not sure how to do this, so to be safe I'm posting this request here.

There's actually a project related to your request. I'd rename the pages myself, but I've been busy IRL and other parts of the project are taking priority right now.
