Locked Pages: Lock, UnLock and Edit requests

@Aki Tendo: That's more material for a useful notes page then a trope example.

On the page "Political Correctness Gone Mad", would someone with sufficient access please edit the reference to Rob Grant's novel Incompetence to add the namespace so as to link the novel's page? Also, fixing the redlink for the author's name in the same example would be appreciated. :)

I changed the example as requested, and I commented out two examples that violated indentation and sorting below it. However, there is no Rob Grant article, nor a Robert Grant.

Repost from previous page:

FanFic.A History Of Magic

Edit in this as a working source for the story?

Health Point and Health Meter as redirects for Life variations of both?

Literature.Whateley Academy as a redirect for Literature.Whateley Universe?

• 15798/15804: Please don't repost unless you have reason to believe it was missed by a mod. Also, please make sure to blue-link the relevant pages. Created the redirect for Health Meter, but not Health Point - the latter is less correlative. Also made the edit for the fanfic link, but you should really write out the desired edit instead of making general requests.
• 15800: That is too lengthy, as already noted above.

DTH.

I guess you meant bluelinking Life Meter and Life Points...

Could I get a redirect for Life Point to Hit Points? 'Cause Life Points redirects to Hit Points, so why not its singular?

Literature.Whateley Academy had 3 wicks, until I fixed them to point to Literature.Whateley Universe. They were:

• Rainbow Motif
• Hurricane of Puns
• Time for Plan B.

I guess that might be too little to justify a redirect?

Can you create "Soccermom" as an alt-title to Moral Guardians?

Also, as brought up in ATT, if a trope page was locked for edit warring over a single example, then should the page be split and have only the subpage for the example in question locked?

to the question from ATT, and reiterating the answer given there, no.

And to chime in on your redirect request, having such a specific name will incite misuse from people linking to Soccer Mom as a character type, and a lot of hate from people defending soccer moms that aren't moral guardians (especially with the negative connotations put on that trope). It's also miles away from the trope, any way, so I think it's a really bad idea.

That's not a valid reason to split a page. You can request edits to it here.

There's a Ho Yay page for The Bible that has only two examples, so I requested it be cut while it's contents can get moved to the YMMV page.

So, please put the following examples on YMMV.The Bible:

• Ho Yay:
  • David and Jonathan. When they meet, it's stated that their souls were knit together. Jonathan then gives David his robe, armor, and weapons. Later, Jonathan saves David from Saul. They have a final tragic meeting after Saul forbids them from seeing each other, complete with weeping and manly kissing. When Saul and Jonathan are killed in battle. David rends his clothes and mourns Jonathan, and has his people mourn him, too. David even says he loves Jonathan more than any women.
    And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. (1 Samuel 18:1, KJV)

    40 And Jonathan gave his artillery unto his lad, and said unto him, Go, carry them to the city. 41 And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded. 42 And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the Lord, saying, The Lord be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever. And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city. (1 Samuel 20:40-42, KJV

    25 How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, thou wast slain in thine high places. 26 I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women. 27 How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished! (2 Samuel 1:25-27, KJV
  • Ruth and Naomi. Ruth is described as clinging to Naomi with the same word used to describe Adam and Eve's relationship. Ruth's declaration of loyalty to Naomi is often used for wedding vows, and even though Ruth eventually marries Boaz, it's clear that the relationship between her and Naomi is still the most important to her.
    16 And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: 17 Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me. (Ruth 1:16-17, KJV

Please cut Jebediah Shine from Ripper Street.

For the Trivia page to Ghostbusters 2016, I just wanted to add an Old Shame bullet for Paul Feig regretting his handling of the controversy (he doesn't regret the film, though).

At Video Games A To K, for Elder Scrolls, please replace the Oblivion entry with this cleaned-up one:

• The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion: Mankar Camoran, the leader of the Mythic Dawn and a worshipper of Mehrunes Dagon, aims to summon his master into Tamriel so Dagon may destroy the world and create a new one in its place, one that coheres with Camoran's Social Darwinist beliefs. Not only does Mankar assist Dagon's Daedra in attacking the mortal world, he also orchestrates the assassination of Emperor Uriel Septim, as well as his children. He even had the city of Kvatch completely destroyed in a failed attempt to kill Uriel's bastard son, Martin. While Mankar lures in his followers with promises of a paradise for their faithful service, this turns out to be a lie. Seemingly idyllic on the surface, Mankar's "Paradise" is really a hell where his followers are constantly killed by monsters, only to be resurrected and killed over and over again. His promise to allow any follower who loses faith to leave his paradise also proves false, as the grotto, which is said to be an exit from the afterlife, really leads to a torture chamber where the unfaithful are made immortal, locked into gibbets, and then dumped into lava. One follower who lost faith was forced by Camoran into inflicting this punishment on his friends over and over again. Paradise is said to be Mankar's vision of how he believes the world will be once Dagon takes over.

When I want to create a YMMV page for Rihanna, the Edit button at the top of the page was blocked with a message from ninjaclown stated that: "No YMMV for real people.", which is bizarre considering that all of the other creator / music artist allows YMMV to discuss their work. The second edit button on the page itself allows me to edit but it doesn't save my entry. Can the mod look into this and if possible unlock the page?

• 15806: Please review Creating New Redirects for our policy on plural-to-singular (or singular-to-plural) redirects. You can use the mark-up {{Life Point|s}} and it's unlikely for any inbounds for "Life Point" to be missed when "Life Points" already exists.

As for Literature.Whateley Academy, you don't need a mod to create that since it's not a locked page or in a Main/ namespace. However, in cases of works it should be an official name - which Whateley Academy does not appear to be.

• 15814: YMMV.Rihanna is unlocked.

DTH.

Requesting the Para Sabotage be made a redirect for Chute Sabotage.

A case of Separated by a Common Language: things to do with parachuting in the UK often go by 'para', whilst the term 'chute' is exclusively limited to water slides (and so the title is super misleading for this audience); however, the term 'para' in the US may be more associated with para-sport. Each term is 'wrong' on the other side of the Atlantic, but at least if we have both then it can be found.

Missed 15812 - please provide the actual write-up of the requested edit.

Done

I request to add an example in Horny Devils, under the anime folder:

• The succubi in Interviews with Monster Girls is a mixture of folklore and Hollywood variants. While like in the folklores the succubi are not fed by sexual vampirism, but their seductive powers and beauty more aligns to the Hollywood type. As for who can be affected by their seductive powers, though, they are a bit unconventional: the power to induce Erotic Dream is equal-opportunity, while the rest of their seductive powers is dependent on sexual orientation. In any rate, Satou, the only succubus featured in the series, is a Reluctant Monster, and goes to great lengths to avoid seducing anyone.

Done

Please replace the content at DC Animation with the content inside the folder at Complete Monster Drafts (a couple new entries, but mainly reformatting and such).

Can Always Lawful Evil be made a redirect for Order Is Not Good (instead of Always Chaotic Evil)? But please comment if you think it's better left as it is.

Edit for Osama bin Laden, under his appearances in Western Animation:

• A Robot Chicken sketch has the army throw Bin Laden's body into the sea to cover up that he actually died of autoerotic asphyxiation. They felt that America's reputation would be forever ruined if everyone knew the greatest terrorist attack on American soil was masterminded by a sexual deviant.

x2 I think it's better as-is. The reason Always Lawful Evil redirects to Always Chaotic Evil is because ACE is kind of a Non-Indicative Name and covers all Evil alignments.

Please merge the discussion page for Franchise.Harvest Moon (another page undeservedly under the Franchise/ namespace) with the one for VideoGame.Harvest Moon.

Here's some more edits for YMMV.Jon Tron.

Some of the examples weren't technically BLAMs, since they are referenced later. In particular, the entry for the Nightshade review clearly says this event leads to a tie in episode (and also stuff launching into or falling from outer space is a recurring thing in Jon's videos anyway). Also, the horseradish does get mentioned again... somewhere (I can't recall). I think it's just a weird joke, not a BLAM. Also, the Driven to Suicide pothole seems like a sinkhole... Jacques dying in videos is a recurring joke, so I don't think that's really a BLAM either.
