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] Or can a mod at least settle the debate.

Please add this to Fan Works (Comic group):

  • Sonic the Comic Fan Web Comic Sonic the Comic – Online!:
    • In this fanwork that has received Approval of God, Dr. Zachary once again proves himself among the comic's nastiest. Zachary begins his new streak of evil by attempting to enslave Super Sonic to utilize his powers to wreak havoc across Mobius. Quickly cheated of that, Zachary builds up an alliance of like-minded psychopaths he calls The Syndicate and quickly builds a new plot to destroy Mobius utilizing the Chaos Emeralds. Snatching some of Sonic's DNA by capturing his young companion Tails and nearly drowning him, Zachary awakens the dormant Shadow the Hedgehog and uses his powers to draw the Chaos Emeralds out of the Special Zone, consequentially creating a massive chain reaction of Chaos Energy that obliterates the Special Zone and the billions of lives within. Brushing off the death of the Special Zone as a mere side effect of his plans, Zachary attempts to use a device he calls the Chaos Siphon to agitate the Chaos Energy on Mobius to the point where it causes an explosion potent enough to destroy the planet. Eventually foiled and captured by Knuckles, Zachary contents himself with sadistically mocking Knuckles about his failure to protect the Special Zone, and upon breaking out, forces Knuckles into a Sadistic Choice to either allow his friend Tikal to die or let the Floating Island collapse. A total sociopath as always who is utterly remorseless over the billions of lives lost to his machinations, Zachary proves he's no less of a monster here than he was in the original comic.
    • Vichama note  starts as an enigmatic flunky of Zachary enlisted in The Syndicate before revealing himself as something far worse. Vichama is in actuality the sadistic God of Death, an immortal entity who gained access to the physical plane through a deal with Pochacamac, using his new presence on Mobius to indiscriminately slaughter millions of echidnas. Trapping the souls of all of his murdered victims within his dark temple before he was banished, Vichama is brought back by Zachary and at first eagerly helps the doctor in his plot to destroy Mobius, helping to obliterate the Special Zone by proxy. Once Zachary's plot is foiled, Vichama leaves the doctor to die before rising his temple again and causing mass death through Mobius, assuming his true form as the God of Death. Casually incinerating Knuckles when he's confronted on his plot, Vichama announces his intent to bring the "gift of death" to everything that lives within the universe through all the enslaved souls in his thrall. Cloaking his murderous nature with a posh demeanor, Vichama is motivated by nothing less than a desire to spread mass death for its own sake and proves to be an utter bastard of a god who more than lives up to his title as the God of Death.

The article above is locked for having been cut, but was evidently restored at some point. It does not seem to have been reviewed by the 5P, unless I missed something, yet is clearly something that ought to have been reviewed by them.

Can you reopen Mass Effect Andromeda: The Andromeda Initiative? The page was locked a few days ago over an edit war. Discussion of the edit that sparked the war has created a TRS thread. One of the troper that kept removing the edit has promised not to remove the edit if the page is unlocked.

If anything, Back To Basics despite being a common idiom, is an empty page, yet it goes with the trope Revisiting the Roots. Will Back To Basics be a redirect to Revisiting the Roots?

  • 15682: I'm not convinced that Back To Basics as an idiom corresponds directly with that trope.
  • 15686: Not seeing it?

DTH otherwise.

For Zenoc Quah, it's Star Wars Legends, Comics, Legacy. It should read (himself a puppet of Onimi)

Slight rewrite (mainly cleaning up grammar) for the BZRK entry at Literature A To L:

  • BZRK: Lystra Ellen Alice Reid, aka Lear, is the enigmatic founder and leader of the titular BZRK, and is the most morally reprehensible of the main antagonists in the series. Lear wishes to drive the world insane, simply For the Evulz. At a young age, she murdered her mother, and at the age of 9 got sent to a foster family, who she murdered in a car "accident" 7 years later. Two years later, she started tattooing all of her victims to her body with tortured expressions on their faces, covering up around half of her flesh. She starts buying out failing medical companies in order to get DNA samples from random people for her plan, getting at least 29,000 samples by the time the series starts. In the third book, she starts putting her plan in motion and begins instilling fear into the world by driving various renowned and well-known figures, such as the Pope and the Prince of England, insane, as well as a majority of attendants at big events such as movie premiers, and forcing Bug Man to help her by threatening him with madness. She brainwashes Plath into giving the command to blow up the Armstrong Twins hideout, the Tulip, and killing hundreds of innocents. Then she starts mass-producing biots and driving people mad, starting with 15 major cities so they can cause mass pandemonium, then military bases that hold nukes so they can fire them off en masse. Utterly remorseless and psychotic, treating everything she does as a game, by the end of the series she has, either directly or indirectly, killed around 210 million people.

On Complete Monster cleanup thread, we agreed to cut Werner Zytle and Daniel Brickwell from Arrowverse CM page. They are not heinous enough after the heinous standard's evolution.

Actually, for Zytle, please change this sentence as follows:

He later tries to kill the remaining gang leaders of Starling City by blowing up the entire stadium they were in; the stadium contained around 20,000 people.

Lolita has a link to "Lolicon" in the 2nd paragraph, and the last sentence of the description names the book as the Trope namer for Lolicon. But the Lolicon page was cut and it's not a Trope anymore.

Request to remove the pothole in the 2nd paragraph, and the last sentence.

Also, "parents never name their daughters Lolita anymore" is potholed to "Never live it down"; that doesn't seem to apply here.

This would make the 2nd paragraph: This is where we get the terms "Lolita Complex", or "lolicon" in Japan, and the slang for "Lolita", meaning a sexually attractive and/or promiscuous young girl.

And the last sentence of the 1st paragraph: Nabokov himself pointed out that this is probably the main reason why parents don't name their daughters "Lolita" any more.

Lolicon may have been indeed cut, but now we have Lolicon and Shotacon and Comedic Lolicon in its place, so instead of outright axing the relevant sentences we should just change them so that they point at both of those pages.

Ok, good point.

So then the last sentence of the description wouldn't be cut, but would be:

Trope Namer for Comedic Lolicon and Lolicon and Shotacon.

Make that "Trope Namer for Comedic Lolicon and co-Trope Namer for Lolicon and Shotacon." and you'll have my backing 100%.

Lolicon and Shotacon are now disambiguations, so replacing links to point to the correct page is the right solution. Or if they are misused, delete them.
