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.

Umm... I don't think my edit request from two pages ago has been done yet.

I was reading Asperger syndrome (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/UsefulNotes/AspergerSyndrome), and accompanying discussion. In the discusion I came across a few nice edit proposals. So I want to put them here, so they might actually be put into the page, they are under this post. I would greatly apreciate an edit to the page or feedback for why the page won't be edited. Kind regards, Superstrijder

Please add this to a bullet point under "Speech issues": Aspies do typically speak with a monotone, particularly younger or undiagnosed/untreated ones. More high functioning Aspies who learn to adapt to social cues, however, can train themselves to overcome this to a large degree. Interestingly, several psychologists who specialize in high functioning Aspies have noted that they can actually discern if some people are high functioning yet undiagnosed Aspies based purely on listening to their more or less normal-sounding speech. Such high-functioning Aspies learned to avoid a monotone voice intellectually, after years of refined practice, by adding in extra inflections and prosody to their speech. The giveaway is that this still isn't entirely "natural" speech, and they will overcompensate slightly, with very "animated" speech: a few too many inflections in the wrong place, too many punctuations for emphasis. Psychologists who work with high-functioning Aspies on a regular basis can actually start to recognize this "Aspie accent" of a sort, even in people so high-functioning that no one else would pick up on it in everyday conversation. By comparison, it's sort of the verbal equivalent of how some high-functioning Aspies train themselves to maintain eye contact with other people instead of avoiding the gaze of others...but then overcompensate by constantly keeping eye contact in a fixed stare.

Alter Lack Of Imagination to: Lack of Imagination: Related to No Sense Of Humour above, it is frequently reported that Aspies have little to no imagination, but this is verging on Critical Research Failure; there's a (fairly popular) theory that Aspies have excellent imaginations. What they lack (and probably what the reports in question mean by Aspies having no imagination) is Social Imagination; i.e., the ability to grasp that not everybody feels the same way. It requires "imagining" what another person is feeling, since you can't know for certain. To an Aspie, this is logical because you're not them, and it's rooted in their difficulty to recognize emotions in others. What Aspies compensate with is an incredible Visual Imagination. Instead of socialising, an Aspie prefers to sit back and let the movie roll. Instead of having to share the toys in a group, they might imagine getting the toys out and having them coming to life in a way that physically playing with them can't produce. Movies too are a visual medium, and some Aspies like to sit back and play an entire movie in their heads, perhaps imagining themselves in a role. Obviously it's a solo activity. If an Aspie takes to writing down what they imagine, expect them to paint an amazingly detailed picture of their world and characters as they strive to make their readers see what they see.

Just noted that how the post above looks is kinda different from the original, please look at the disscussion: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/remarks.php?trope=UsefulNotes.AspergerSyndrome#85873 for how its supposed to look

At Conan the Barbarian, please pothole "Comic Books" to Conan the Barbarian. Please also change the order and titles as follows:

  • Conan: Book of Thoth:...
  • Conan and the Midnight God:..
Also, for the Lit section, please switch the order of the first 2.

Does this sound worth adding to YMMV.Ghostbusters 2016, under Harsher in Hindsight?

The Extended Edition adds a scene where Erin gets involved in a public scandal, and Patty advises her to "shake off" haters' efforts to shame her. Leslie Jones ended up having to heed those words after she became hacked and harassed online; this became a little less harsh by the time the Ghostbusters Extended Edition hit home video, when she used the incidents as basis for new SNL sketches.

At Marquis de Sade, please replace the appropriate bit with this:

  • The 120 Days of Sodom (a.k.a. The School of Licentiousness) - One of Sade's most infamous works, about four corrupt libertine nobles (the Duc, the Bishop, The President, and the Durcet) who spend 120 sex-filled days. Written in secret while he was imprisoned in the Bastille in 1785, it was believed to have been lost until it was discovered hidden in his cell over a hundred years later. Later made into an infamous 1975 film by Pier Paolo Pasolini.

[up] Even if the film thing isn't done, shouldn't the original work be linked?


At The Punisher, please remove the "Other" section (and the "Comics" section-title) and, after the header, please add this:
The 1989 film can be found here.
Please cut Theo from the Gotham tree at Live-Action TV.

To me that final plan is not worthy of a mention in a Complete Monster entry. If they explicitly say that they plan to commit mass murder or war crimes or any other Complete Monster worthy action once in office, then it would be worth mentioning.

Errr, I suppose some would argue that I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, but wouldn't it have been better to make Main.Noblesse Oblige a disambiguation page like I requested here, rather than redirect it to Royals Who Actually Do Something? The same Wiki Word exists in the Fanfic namespace, after all.

  • 15473: It seems far more likely for a person to look for Noblesse Oblige as a trope than Noblesse Oblige as a fanfic. If it were more equal, then a disambig page would be more appropriate.

DTH.
